Explanation:
Once the organism dies the amount of carbon-14 decreases exponentially.
The exponential, radioactive decay of carbon 14 is used to estimate the death dates of organic material.
Living organisms have approximately the same ratio of C12 to C14 in their tissues. Once the organism dies C14 decays into nitrogen 14. Decay of C14 to nitrogen 14 changes the ratio of C12 to C14. The ratio of C12 to C14 in dead material can be compared to the ratio when the organism was alive to estimate the date of its death. Radiocarbon dating can be used on different samples such as bone, cloth, wood and plant fibers.
The basic components (depedent and indepedent variables) are the plants and altitude while the confounding variable is the 20 story building. Confounding variables affect the experiement variable and are mainly outside of the researcher’s control in the experiment. Ray cannot change the building but this variable can affect the depedent and indepedent variables and cause distorted or spurious results.
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge. So, due to the like charges of protons there occurs electrostatic force of repulsion inside the nucleus of the atom.
But due to similar number of neutrons and protons a force that is able to bind both of them together is known as strong nuclear binding energy.
This force is strong enough that it is able to overcome electrostatic force of repulsion. But when there is great difference in the number of protons and neutrons then binding force is not strong enough.
Hence, the atom becomes unstable and undergoes radioactive decay. So, this means weak forces are responsible for radioactive decay.
Thus, we can conclude that the statement which best describes Yanni’s error is that the strong force is responsible for radioactive decay.
