CARBON DATING case: archaeological sample produces evidence from activity ratio. Which option best answers the objective "Use E = mc2 to calculate binding energy." for Mass and energy, while reaching the conclusion about organic remains?.
- A.nuc-104-carbon-dating: Link archaeological sample to activity ratio and conclude organic remains for Mass and energy.
- B.nuc-104-carbon-dating: Ignore activity ratio and answer with an unrelated Radioactivity recall phrase.
- C.nuc-104-carbon-dating: Swap the required nuclear distinction and claim organic remains without evidence.
- D.nuc-104-carbon-dating: Use a calculation label only, without applying use E = mc2 to calculate binding energy..
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The correct option is nuc-104-carbon-dating: Link archaeological sample to activity ratio and conclude organic remains for Mass and energy.
Explanation
Why this works
It is correct because the carbon dating context uses activity ratio to support use E = mc2 to calculate binding energy. in Mass and energy.
The distractors fail because they either ignore the evidence, swap a nuclear concept boundary, or give a label without the required A-Level Physics reasoning.
