The Age of an Ancient Artifact Can Be Determined by the Amount

question 84

Short Answer

The age of an ancient artifact can be determined by the amount of radioactive carbon-14 remaining in it. If $D _ { 0 }$ is the original amount of carbon-14 and D is the amount remaining, then the artifact's age A (in years) is given by $A = - 8267 \ln \left( \frac { D } { D _ { 0 } } \right)$ Find the age of an object if the amount D of carbon-14 that remains in the object is 85% of the original amount $D _ { 0 }$
