Potassium-40 has a half life of 1.251×billion<span> years</span><span>. To determine the percentage potassium-40 remaining after 3.9 billion years, divide
3.9 by 1.251, = 3.12.

This is the number of times the original amount of potassium-40 reduces by 50%. The remaining percentage is therefore 100%/(3.12 * 2) = 16.03%.</span>

LenKa [72]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

When a supergiant runs out of fuel, the object formed is either a black hole or a neutron star.

  • When supernove explosion happens, the supernova outshines other stars in the galaxy and then slowly faded away leaving a dense object called black hole or neutron star.
  • This black hole or neutron star is surrounded by a mass of very hot gas and the elements of the supergiant star get scattered into the space.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

We fear flying in a plane, nuclear power plants or being struck by lightning more because our risk perception isn't rational. We assess risks using a mixture of cognitive skills (weighing the evidence, using reasoning and logic to reach conclusions) and emotional appraisals. In this case, we believe that overheating or lack of exercise is something we can control. We believe we can feel the process taking place and we can react in time. We fear all the situations that we cannot control.
