Answer:

9 x 10 ^9 yrs    ( 9 billion years <=====older than Earth !)

Explanation:

.25 = 1.0 (1/2) ^n

.25 / 1.0 =   = (1/2 )^n

log .25 =  n log 1/2

n = 2 half lives

2 * 4.5 x 10^9 =   9 x 10 ^ 9 yrs

Answer:

1.40 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity= 17.4 m/s

time= 12.4 seconds

We want to find the acceleration of the rock

We know that

acceleration = velocity/time

Substitute

acceleration= 17.4/12.4

acceleration=1.40 m/s^2

Hence the acceleration is 1.40 m/s^2

3. Electrons are the only part of an atom that can be transferred between materials. True or
meriva

<em>False</em>

Explanation:

The electrons cloud patterns are extremely complex and is of no importance to the discussion of electric charge in the atom. More important is the fact that electrons are labile; that is, they can be <em>transferred</em> from one atom to the next. It is through electronic transfer that atoms become charged.
