Chapter 5, Problem 20SEQ
Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
Amateur Astronomy:Observing the Moon. Any amateur telescope has adequate resolution to identify geological features on the Moon. The light highlands and dark maria should be evident, and shadowing is visible near the line between night and day. Try to observe the Moon near the first-or third-quarter phase. Sketch or photograph the Moon at low magnification, and then zoom in on a region of interest. Again sketch or photograph your field of view, them label the features and indentify the geological process that created them. Look for craters, volcanic plains and tectonic features. Estimate the size of each feature by comparing it to the size of the whole Moon (radius = 1738 km).

The method has proven invaluable for providing calendar dates for a range of different materials and many different time periods. Radiocarbon dating, however, is not without its limitations and uncertainties, so it is important for archaeologists to be aware of a range of issues when using the technique. For the second part of this assignment, please answer the questions below. 6. List two kinds of archaeological materials can be dated using the radiocarbon method and two that cannot be dated with radiocarbon. 7. In one or two sentences, explain why radiocarbon ages need to be calibrated into calendrical ages? 8. A radiocarbon date on wood charcoal was obtained from Layer N in the stratigraphic profile above. The date has a radiocarbon age of 5500 BP ± 50 yrs and it calibrates to 4450-4260 cal. BC. Burial W in Layer E was also dated and has a radiocarbon age of 5000 BP ± 30, which…arrow_forwardAnswer Activity in a separate paper. Show the solution for every answer (for problem solving ones only). In presenting solution, it should be in the same sequence as the asked problem. Avoid too many erasures (to prevent this, solve first in a scratch paper and after finalizing, transfer it to the final paper for submission). Box your final answer with appropriate units. Retain 3 decimal places for intermediate value calculation. Not following instruction means a corresponding point deduction. 1.

An object is propelled off of a platform that is 75 feet high at a speed of 45 feet per second (ft./s). The height of the object off the ground is given by the formula h(t) = - 16t+45t+75, where h(t) is the object's height at time (t) seconds after the -16 object is propelled. The downward negative pull on the object is represented by Solve for t.arrow_forwardSolve the following problem and show your complete solutions. explain your answers for better understanding.arrow_forwardComplete the questions below using additional paper if needed.
