Q1. After three half-lives of an isotope, 1 billion of the original isotope's atoms still remain in a certain amount of this ele

ment. How many atoms of the daughter product would you expect to be present?
Q2. By measuring the amounts of parent isotope and daughter product in the minerals contained in a rock, and by knowing the half-life of the parent isotope, a geologist can calculate the absolute age of the rock. A rock contains 125 g of a radioisotope with a half-life of 150 000 years and 875 g of its daughter product. How old is the rock according to the radiometric dating method?

 <span>If 1 eighth equals 1 billion 7 eighth equals 7 billion. 

The asker of the second question needs a tutorial in radiometric dating. There is little likelihood that the daughter isotope has the same atomic weight as the parent isotope. To measure the mass isotopes doesn't tell us how many atoms of each exist. To get around that let's pretend — which will likely serve the purpose ineptly intended — that the values give an the particle ratio, 125:875. 

The original parent isotope count was 125 + 875 = 1000. The remaining parent isotope is 125/1000 or 1/8. 1/8 = (1/2)^h, where h is the number of half-lives. 

h = log (1/8) ÷ log(1/2) = 3 

And 3 half-lives • 150,000 years/half-life = 450,000 years.</span>

The answer would be b., individualism. Femininity is obviously out the picture and decentralization means "The transfer of authority from central to local government. and collectivism is "<span>the practice or principle of giving a group priority over each individual in it." And since the statement says "...my teacher will recognize MY efforts!" and not OUR efforts, then it isn't collectivism.</span>

The sun appears to move through the background stars. This apparent motion would not exist if:_________.
otez555 [7]

Answer:

b) the earth did not orbit the sun

Explanation:

The sun appears to move through the background stars due to parallax . Parallax is a phenomenon when the near object appears to move faster than the distant object . If we travel in a train , the near object like electric poles on rail track or trees and fields nearby appear to move faster against the distant background .

Hence when the earth moves around the sun , the sun appears to move against the background the stars which are far away . Had earth remained stationary at a place on its orbit around the sun , the sun would have appeared stationary against the background the   stars .

A temperature inversion happens when a _____ air layer traps pollution close to the surface of the earth.
LenaWriter [7]
When warm air layer traps pollution that is within the earth's surface, a temperature inversion usually takes place. In addition, at temperature inversion happens when the cold air overlays the warm air in the troposphere, which does not usually happen since warm air rises and cold air sinks by principle.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

In terms of communication, a receiver is usually referred to as a person who listens, reads as well as observes. In simple words, a receiver is an individual or it can be a group of individuals, to whom any type of message is being diverted. The other name for the receiver is 'audience'.

In the given condition, Warren is attending a seminar in which he is listening to the speaker, as a part of the audience. So, it can be concluded that Warren is a receiver who is receiving information or hearing the speaker.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
