We use the formula of the half-life to calculate for the remaining U-238 after 4.5 billion years. The formula is expressed as 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 wherein for U-238 h is equal to 4.47 billion years.

<span>A = A₀ (1/2)^(t/h)
</span>A = 50 (1/2)^(4.5 / 4.47)
A = 24.88 g

Heat rash is caused by chemical exposure Truth or false
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

This is false.

Explanation:

Heat rash develops when some of your sweat ducts clog. Instead of evaporating, perspiration gets trapped beneath the skin, causing inflammation and rash. Heat rash is usually self-limited, meaning it resolves on its own without treatment. Over-the-counter treatments such as calamine, hydrocortisone cream, itch preparations (such as Benadryl spray), or sunburn lotions can be used as skincare to treat the itching and burning symptoms. Heat rash usually goes away on its own within three or four days so long as you don't irritate the site further. Heat rash happens when the sweat glands get blocked. The trapped sweat irritates the skin and leads to small bumps.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The smallest part of a millimeter that can be read with a digital caliper with a four digit display is 0.02mm. Thus, it has to be converted to centimetre. So, divide by 10, we then have 0.02/10= *0.002cm* not mm.

No.

Since repeated measurements are taken and the average and 95% confidence interval are calculated, the possibility of the lack of agreement being a random error has been minimized or even eliminated.

<h3>What is a random error?</h3>

Random error is defined as the deviation of the total error from its mean value due to chance.

Random errors can result from the instrument not being precise or from mistakes by the researcher.

Random errors can be minimized by taking multiple readings and averaging the results.

Since repeated measurements are taken and the average and 95% confidence interval are calculated, the possibility of the lack of agreement being a ransom error has been minimized.
