Based on the half-life of the reaction, time taken for the partial pressure of ammonia to decrease from 0.100 atm to 0.00625 atm is 800 seconds.

<h3>What is the half-life of a substance?</h3>

The half-life of a substance is the time taken for half the amount of atoms present in that substance to decay.

The half-life of the reaction is 200 seconds.

After, one half-life, pressure reduces to 0.0500 atm

After, two half-lives, pressure reduces to 0.0250 atm

After, three half-lives, pressure reduces to 0.01250 atm

After, four half-lives, pressure reduces to 0.00625 atm

Time taken = 4 * 200 = 800 seconds

Therefore, time taken for the partial pressure of ammonia to decrease from 0.100 atm to 0.00625 atm is 800 seconds.

In si units, the electric field in an electromagnetic wave is described by ey = 104 sin(1.40 107x − ωt). (a) find the amplitude
melamori03 [73]
Answers:
(a) B_o  = 0.3466μT
(b) \lambda = 0.4488μm
(c) f = 6.68 * 10^{14}Hz

Explanation:
Given electric field(in y direction) equation:
E_y = 104sin(1.40 * 10^7 x -\omega t)

(a) The amplitude of electric field is E_o = 104. Hence

The amplitude of magnetic field oscillations is B_o =  \frac{E_o}{c}
Where c = speed of light

Therefore,
B_o =  \frac{104}{3*10^8} = 0.3466μT (Where T is in seconds--signifies the oscillations)

(b) To find the wavelength use:
\frac{2 \pi }{\lambda} = 1.40 * 10^7
\lambda =  \frac{2 \pi}{1.40} * 10^{-7}
\lambda =  0.4488μm

(c) Since c = fλ
=> f = c/λ

Now plug-in the values
f = (3*10^8)/(0.4488*10^-6)
f = 6.68 * 10^{14}Hz

The popular GPS devices that people use to find directions while driving use which type of satellite system?
inessss [21]

The popular GPS devices that people use to find directions while driving use "Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The umbrella term for all global satellite tracking systems is GNSS i.e Global Satellite Navigation System. This involves satellite constellations circulating over the surface of the earth and continuous signal transmission that allow users to evaluate their location.

A satellite array of 18–30 medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellites distributed across several orbital planes typically achieves greater coverage for each network. The specific systems differ, but use > 50 ° orbital inclinations and approximately twelve hours orbital cycles.

Why is pseudoscience bad?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

It is quite difficult to picture a pseudoscientist—really picture him or her over the course of a day, a year, or a whole career. What kind or research does he or she actually do, what differentiates him or her from a carpenter, or a historian, or a working scientist? In short, what do such people think they are up to?

… it is a significant point for reflection that all individuals who have been called “pseudoscientists” have considered themselves to be “scientists”, with no prefix.

The answer might surprise you. When they find time after the obligation of supporting themselves, they read papers in specific areas, propose theories, gather data, write articles, and, maybe, publish them. What they imagine they are doing is, in a word, “science”. They might be wrong about that—many of us hold incorrect judgments about the true nature of our activities—but surely it is a significant point for reflection that all individuals who have been called “pseudoscientists” have considered themselves to be “scientists”, with no prefix.

What is pseudoscience?

“Pseudoscience” is a bad category for analysis. It exists entirely as a negative attribution that scientists and non‐scientists hurl at others but never apply to themselves. Not only do they apply the term exclusively as a discrediting slur, they do so inconsistently. Over the past two‐and‐a‐quarter centuries since the term popped into the Western European languages, a great number of disparate doctrines have been categorized as sharing a core quality—pseudoscientificity, if you will—when in fact they do not. It is based on this diversity that I refer to such beliefs and theories as “fringe” rather than as “pseudo”: Their defining characteristic is the distance from the center of the mainstream scientific consensus in whichever direction, not some essential property they share.

Scholars have by and large tended to ignore fringe science as regrettable sideshows to the main narrative of the history of science, but there is a good deal to be learned by applying the same tools of analysis that have been used to understand mainstream science. This is not, I stress, to imply that there is no difference between hollow‐Earth theories and geophysics; on the contrary, the differences are the point of the analysis. Focusing on the historical and conceptual relationship between the fringe and the core of the various sciences as that blurry border has fluctuated over the centuries provides powerful analytical leverage for understanding where contemporary anti‐science movements come from and how mainstream scientists might address them.

As soon as professionalization blossomed, tagging competing theories as pseudoscientific became an important tool for scientists to define what they understood science to be

The central claim of this essay is that the concept of “pseudoscience” was called into being as the shadow of professional science. Before science became a profession—with formalized training, credentialing, publishing venues, careers—the category of pseudoscience did not exist. As soon as professionalization blossomed, tagging competing theories as pseudoscientific became an important tool for scientists to define what they understood science to be. In fact, despite many decades of strenuous effort by philosophers and historians, a precise definition of “science” remains elusive. It should be noted however that the absence of such definitional clarity has not seriously inhibited the ability of scientists to deepen our understanding of nature tremendously.
