Age of Plant or Animal Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Age of Plant or Animal?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
t=(2.303k)(log10(NoNt))
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
t=(2.3030.0241/Year)(log10(2.2E+10s⁻¹8E+9s⁻¹))
Next Step Convert Units
t=(2.3037.6E-101/s)(log10(2.2E+10Bq8E+9Bq))
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
t=(2.3037.6E-10)(log10(2.2E+108E+9))
Next Step Evaluate
t=1333801478.00594s
Next Step Convert to Output's Unit
t=42.2664862565288Year
LAST Step Rounding Answer
t=42.2665Year

How to Evaluate Age of Plant or Animal?

Age of Plant or Animal evaluator uses Age of Plant or Animal = (2.303/Disintegration Constant of 14C)*(log10(Activity of 14C in Original Animals or Plants/Activity of 14C in Old Wood or Animal Fossil)) to evaluate the Age of Plant or Animal, Age of Plant or Animal is determined by the Radioactive carbon dating technique in which the half-life of carbon and found radioactive elements is determined to calculate the age of a fossil. Age of Plant or Animal is denoted by t symbol.

How to evaluate Age of Plant or Animal using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Age of Plant or Animal, enter Disintegration Constant of 14C (k), Activity of 14C in Original Animals or Plants (No) & Activity of 14C in Old Wood or Animal Fossil (Nt) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Age of Plant or Animal

What is the formula to find Age of Plant or Animal?
The formula of Age of Plant or Animal is expressed as Age of Plant or Animal = (2.303/Disintegration Constant of 14C)*(log10(Activity of 14C in Original Animals or Plants/Activity of 14C in Old Wood or Animal Fossil)). Here is an example- 1.3E-6 = (2.303/7.60529724163474E-10)*(log10(22100000000/8015400000)).
How to calculate Age of Plant or Animal?
With Disintegration Constant of 14C (k), Activity of 14C in Original Animals or Plants (No) & Activity of 14C in Old Wood or Animal Fossil (Nt) we can find Age of Plant or Animal using the formula - Age of Plant or Animal = (2.303/Disintegration Constant of 14C)*(log10(Activity of 14C in Original Animals or Plants/Activity of 14C in Old Wood or Animal Fossil)). This formula also uses Common Logarithm Function function(s).
Can the Age of Plant or Animal be negative?
Yes, the Age of Plant or Animal, measured in Time can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Age of Plant or Animal?
Age of Plant or Animal is usually measured using the Year[Year] for Time. Second[Year], Millisecond[Year], Microsecond[Year] are the few other units in which Age of Plant or Animal can be measured.
