For this problem, we use the formula for radioactive decay which is expressed as follows:

An = Aoe^-kt

where An is the amount left after time t, Ao is the initial amount and k is a constant.  

We calculate as follows:

at hal-life equal to 5700,

An = Aoe^-kt

0.5 = e^-k(5700)

k = 1.22x10^-4

An = A

Why is a punnett square used in genetics?
vaieri [72.5K]
The Punnett square is a diagram used to predict the result of a breeding experiment through analysing predictable traits which will be passed on genetically by each organism. This diagram helps to identify the probability of an offspring having specific genotypes and characteristics after the breeding process. This is determined by placing the parent genotypes into the diagram and crossing them.

What are the properties of water, and how do they help to sustain life on earth?
ANTONII [103]

The main property of water that helps sustain life on earth is that water has. a high specific heat. This causes water to gain heat very slowly.

Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of water by one degree Celsius. Specific heat of water is 4, 186 joules /gram Celsius, and it is higher than that of a metal and of any other common substance.

Due to this, water resists tendency to evaporate or to vaporize and  therefore plays the crucial role of stabilizing temperatures on earth for terrestrial life and at the same time enabling aquatic organisms to maintain relatively constant internal temperatures.
