How do we determine the age of an oil deposit
a. By calculating the amount of lead that has decayed from uranium
B. By measuring its ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12
C. By measuring the amount of uranium that has not decayed into lead
D. By exposing the sample to cosmic rays in the environment to produce carbon-14
E. By calculating the amount of carbon that has decayed into nitrogen
E)
For oils carbon decay is used to find the age
based on rate of decay,using radioactive constant age of oil content is found

Scientists can determine the age of ancient objects by a method called radiocarbon dating. The bombardment of the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays converts nitrogen to a radioactive isotope of carbon, C , with a half-life of about 5730 years. Vegetation absorbs carbon dioxide through the atmosphere and animal life assimilates through food chains. When a plant or animal dies it stops replacing its carbon and the amount of "C begins to decrease through radioactive decay. Therefore, the level of...
My Notes Ast our Teacher Scientist can determine the age of andient objects by a method called radiocarbon dating. The bombardment of the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays converts nitrogen to a radioactive isotope of carbon, 1C, with a haf-ife of about 5730 years. Vegetation absorbs carbon dioxide through the atmosphere and animal life assimilates through food chains. When a plant or animal dies, t stops replacing its carbon and the amount of1C begins to decrease through radioactive decay. Therefore,...
We
want to determine the strength of the relationship between the
independent variable "age" and the dependent variable "intelligence
quotient". In our sample, the mean of the variable "age" is equal
to 14, and its variance is equal to 46,4. The mean of the variable
"intelligence quotient" is equal to 102, and its variance is equal
to 0. The list of corresponding data for the two variables is
pictured below.
Determine the value of the correlation coefficient between the
two...
Carbon 14 is a radioactive isotope produced in the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays. It has a half-life measured as 5730 : 40 years. Since plants and animals absorb carbon from the atmosphere, the percentage of carbon a living organism contains that is carbon 14 is equal to the percentage of carbon 14 in the atmosphere. When an organism dies, however (or when a layer of wood is laid down as bark in a tree), it ceases to absorb carbon....
An ancient club is found that contains 180 g of pure carbon and has an activity of 5.5 decays per second. Determine its age assuming that in living trees the ratio of (14C12C)(14C12C) atoms is about 1.40×10−121.40×10−12. Note that the half life of carbon-14 is 5700 years and the Avogadro number is 6.02×10236.02×1023.
How do I make a line of best fit (regression) with the
following data? I am aware of how to make it in Microsoft Excel,
but I am having trouble figuring out how to find my x value for
making the graph. Y value is absorbance, what do I use for x value
to calculate the slope?
Tube 0.5 mM sulfide standard (ml) Sulfide amount (umol) Sulfide reagent (ml) 0.0 4.9 0.11 0.00 0.2 FeCl3 dH2O to Absorbance 10ml total...

In the table, how are we calculating the wgear rel
arm? this the only column I do not understand
1. Given the gear train below, determine the output speed of the planet carrier (arm/ink 7) if the input gear (2) has a speed of 3200 RPM. The ring gear (1) is fixed. N -82, N2 20, N -75, N38, Ns 22. Gear 2 is on a fixed axle (not shown) as are gears 3 and 4 which rotate together. Gear...
We do not use critical values at all in our course so please
avoid using them when giving me explanations, as they can cause
confusion on my end between your explanation and what im learning
on my course
1. A track coach is trying to determine if a new training program will lead to better standing long jump results. She selects 20 of her athletes, tests their standing long jump distances, then has them take part in a 12-week training...
all
of our classes are online now and i have no idea HOW to do this.
please explain with steps if you can. thank you!
