The half-life forms a type of clock used to calculate time passed
noname [10]3 years ago

Answer:

The time an unstable nuclei takes to decay is called the half-life of a radioactive isotope.

The half-life of a radioisotope is important in radioactive dating because it can be used to calculate the age of fossils by measuring the carbon absorbed.

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Problem</u>:

In a gender based experiment, the blood pressure of different ages of men is been checked and recorded to determine if there is any correlation. What will be the independent, dependent and controlled variables?

<u>Answer</u>:

A controlled variable is the variable that is left constant throughout the course of an experiment. The controlled variable here is the gender.

A dependent variable is the variable that is been determined or measured during the course of an experiment. The dependent variable here is the blood pressure.

An independent variable is the variable that is intentionally or decidedly altered during the course of an experiment. The independent variable here is the age.

Calculate the approximate number of atoms in a bacterium, assuming the average mass of an atom is ten times the mass of a hydrog
mezya [45]

Answer: -

The approximate number of atoms in a bacterium is 10¹¹

Explanation: -

We are given the mass of a bacterium is 10⁻¹⁵ kg.

We are told that the mass of a hydrogen atom is 10⁻²⁷ kg.

Finally we learn that the average mass of an atom of the bacterium is ten times the mass of a hydrogen atom.

Mass of an atom of bacterium = 10 x mass of hydrogen atom

                                                   = 10 x 10⁻²⁷ kg.

                                                   = 10⁻²⁶ kg.

Thus the number of atoms in a bacterium = \frac{Total mass}{mass of 1 bacterium atom}

                                                                      = \frac{10-15 kg}{10-26 kg}

                                                                      = 10¹¹

Which of the following is true about nuclear fusion
Sonja [21]

Answer:

 i would assume that it would be (a)

Explanation:

The Sun generates its energy by nuclear fusion

NUCLEAR FISSION is when the heavy atom is split

fusion energy is scientifically feasible. Plasma conditions that are very close to those required in a fusion reactor are now routinely reached in experiments

mass gets lost is nuclear fusion

so (a) is the most accurate
