Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When ore is extracted from below the surface of Earth by following a safe procedure which is also economically balanced is known as underground mining.

A horizontal or vertical tunnel can be drafted or made in order to reach from surface of the Earth to underground mine.

This tunnel is known as shaft or decline. This mining can lead to collapse of the land and it also causes sink holes.

Hence, one has to be very careful during this process of mining and proper safety measures should be followed.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement underground mining increases risk of land collapse and sinkholes, is true about environmental risk of underground mining.

How do I solve the following word problem: The half-life of Phosphorus - 32 is 14.3 days. It is used to study a plant's use of f
BaLLatris [955]

Half life is the time that it takes for half of the original value of some amount of a radioactive element to decay.

We have the following equation representing the half-life decay:

A=A_o\times2^{(-\frac{t}{t_{half}})_{}_{}}

A is the resulting amount after t time

Ao is the initial amount = 50 mg

t= Elapsed time

t half is the half-life of the substance = 14.3 days

We replace the know values into the equation to have an exponential decay function for a 50mg sample

A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-t}{14.3}}

That would be the answer for a)

To know the P-32 remaining after 84 days we have to replace this value in the equation:

\begin{gathered} A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-84}{14.3}} \\ A=0.85\text{ mg} \end{gathered}

So, after 84 days the P-32 remaining will be 0.85 mg
