The closure temperature represents the point when isotopes are no longer free to move out of a crystal lattice.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The closure temperature can also be termed as blocking temperature. It is mostly used in radiometric dating. As the temperature decreases, below a certain point the isotopes may get freeze in their lattice positions. And there may be slowing of diffusion.

At the closure temperature, that rate of diffusion will be zero as the isotopes will be no longer free to move out of crystal lattice. So, this is termed as closure or blocking temperature. As the isotopes loose their ability to move, their concentration will remain fixed in their position leading to measurement of radiation dating.

Answer: The mean of the samples is 32.325.

Proportion of the defective unit is =\frac{2}{40}=\frac{1}{20}=0.05

Explanation:

The point estimate of the mean of the sample:

First calculate the mean of the 40 samples:

\frac{\text{Sum of all the samples}}{\text{Number of observations}}

\frac{1,293}{40}=32.325

The mean of the samples is 32.325.

Defected pieces in the samples whose life span is less than the 26 days = 2

Proportion of the defective unit is =\frac{2}{40}=\frac{1}{20}=0.05

A titanium bicycle frame displaces 0.314 l of water and has a mass of 1.41 kg. what is the density of the titanium in g&gt;cm3 ?
Kobotan [32]
The density of an object is the ratio of its mass over the volume. This translates to the amount of substance present in a certain space and can mathematically be expressed as,
 
                   density = mass / volume

In this item, we are given that the object of mass 1.41 kg is able to displace 0.314 L of liquid. The volume of water displaced is also the volume of the object. Hence,
                  density = 1.41 kg / 0.314 L = 4.49 kg/L

Then, we convert the calculated volume of g/mL.
                  density = (4.49 kg/L)(1 L / 1000 mL)(1000 g/1 kg)
                   <em>   density = 4.49 g/mL</em>

myrzilka [38]
Power is the rate of work that is done per time. Work is calculated from the product of force and the displacement. So, by using the definition of power and work, we can relate power with force, displacement and the time. We do as follows:

Power = Work / time
Power = Force x displacement / time
Power = 21 N (9 m) / 3 s
Power = 63 J /s = 63 W

ohaa [14]
A measure of the quantity of matter is called mass. D.

This is how much of matter is contained in an object. It is different from weight, which is the pull of gravity on an object.

What state of matter has the highest energy? Lowest?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The highest state of matter in energy is gas. The lowest is solid.

Explanation:

The reason why is because gas is the highest conductor of electricity (which is why we have lightning). However, solids don't conduct electricity very well.
