Extend your thinking: The slow decay of radioactive materials can be used to find the age of rocks, fossils, and archaeological artifacts. In a process called radiometric dating, scientists measure the proportions of radioactive atoms and daughter atoms in an object to determine its age. Carbon-14 is a useful isotope because it is found in wood, ash, bone, and any other organic materials. You can use the Half-life Gizmo to model the decay of Carbon-14, which has a half-life of approximately 6,000 years (actual value is 5,730 years). In the Gizmo, select User chooses half-life and Theoretical decay. Set the Half-life to 6 seconds (to represent 6,000 years) and the Number of atoms to 100.

Use the Gizmo to estimate the age of each of the objects below. For these questions, each second in the Gizmo represents 1,000 years.

im sorry i dont know

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.

find the surface area of the sphere to the nearest square unit. use a calculator.

the journeys of marquette, joliet and la salle a) new france expand.

all three of these explorers explored the midwest and the area around the great lakes, which they subsequently claimed for france.

this was a big portion of territory and expanded new france which before then only consisted of quebec province in northeastern canada
