Answer:

= 25 g

Explanation:

Using the formula;

A = A₀ (1/2)^(t/h)

where A is the final amount,

A₀ is the initial amount of the substance,

t is the time and

h is the half-life of the substance,

In this case; the half life of U-238 h is equal to 4.47 billion years.

A = A₀ (1/2)^(t/h)

A = 50 (1/2)^(4.5 / 4.47)

   = 24.88

  <u> = 25 g</u>

Vanyuwa [196]

Explanation:

Given

mass (m) = 44 kg

velocity (v) = 31 m/s

Now

Kinetic energy

= 1/2 mv²

= 1/2 * 44 * 31²

= 0.5 * 44 * 961

= 21142 joule

Hope it will help you :)

0. Give an example of how an organism can use surface tension.<br><br><br>​
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

In case of plants surface tension help to support the transpiration pull.

Explanation:

Surface tension is a force that hold the molecules in the surface to minimize the surface area.

   During evaporation of excess amount of water from the stomata of leaves of plants by transpiration a surface tension is generated.

   The generated surface tension helps to maintain the water column within the xylem tissue by the absorption of water from the soil by the roots.
