➷ After 10,000 years the mass will be:

1,000 / 2 = 500

After 20,000 years the mass will be:

500/2 = 250

As you can see, the correct answer would be A. 20,000 years

Answer:

A). t = 20,000 years

Explanation:

Half life is the total time after which the substance will decay and remains only half of the initial amount

So here we will say that

initial amount is 1000 gram

Now after one half life only half of the amount will remain

so it is

m_1 = 1000/2 = 500 gram

now again after another half life it will remain half of the initial amount

so it is

m_2 = 500/2 = 250 gram

so it took two half lives

t = 10,000 + 10,000

t = 20,000 years

Starting at (0,0) an object travels 36 meters north and then it covers 20 meters east. What is
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the pythagoras theorem, the displacement is expressed as;

d² = x²+y²

y = 36m (north)

x = 20m east

Substitute;

d² = 36²+20²

d² = 1296+400

d² = 1696

d = √1696

d = 41.18m

For the direction;

theta = tan^-1(y/x)

theta = tan^-1(36/20)

theta = tan^-1(1.8)

theta = 60.95°

Hence the magnitude is 41.18m and the direction is 60.95°

ANTONII [103]
<h3>Answer;</h3>

<em><u>Sand Spit or Spit </u></em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Long shore drift is the process that occurs when a sheet of water moves on and off the beach, in other words the swash and back swash</u></em>, thus capturing and transporting sediment on the beach back out to the sea.
  • <em><u>Sandbar</u></em> is normally formed when the sandspit stretches across a bay and connects the two sides. <em><u>Headland</u></em> is a high piece of land that extends out onto the sea. <em><u>Sea stacks </u></em>on the other hand results from the collapsing of the roof of the arch.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

He made great advancements in developing a logical way to know more about the universe and celestial entities inside the space. And this theory is termed to be heliocentric in nature.

Explanation:

  • In early times most of the people believed that our planet Earth is the center of the universe or the solar system and rest of the celestial entities move around it in a given path, so, it confused the well known scientist named as Galileo Galilei. As, he observed the different dark patches or shadow like textures on the face of the Sun.
  • While, it is more obvious to known that any object having multiple small shadows means that it is present inside such a region that all of the celestial entities move or orbit around it in a given way.So, he concluded that planet Earth itself move around the red Giant in a given way rather then being the center of the universe.
