Half life is 5700 years,that is 50%.

6.25% means 1/16 of the life is left.

T^1/16 =T^1/2*4.

5700 × 4 =22800 years

Answer:

Squids = 450 - 490 nm (Moderate Frequency) (Blue)

Bees = 300 - 650 nm (Lower Frequency Bands)

Frogs = 280 - 580 nm (Very Low Frequency)

Explanation:

All of the above mentioned ranges are compared to that of humans.

I'm just surprised a little bit in the imagination that how these organisms see the world through their unique eyes. On the other hands, they are evolved like this just like we do so that may not be surprising enough. SIKE

Two dogs fight over a bone. The larger of the two pulls on the bone to the right with a force of 42 N. The smaller one pulls to

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Explanation:

35 N Small Dog <=======BONE=========> Bigger Dog 42 N

Fnet = Large Dog - small dog The forces are subtracted because they are acting in opposite Directions.

Fnet = 42 - 35

Fnet = 7 N

m = 2.5 kg

F = 7 N

a = ?

F = m * a

7 = 2.5 a

a = 7 / 2.5

a = 2.8 m/s^2

Hello!

Using Hooke's law, F spring=k delta x, find the distance a spring with an elastic constant of 4 N/cm will stretch if a 2 newton force is applied to it.

Data:

Hooke represented mathematically his theory with the equation:

F = K * Δx

On what:

F (elastic force) = 2 N

K (elastic constant) = 4 N/cm

Δx (deformation or elongation of the elastic medium or distance from a spring) = ?

Solving:

$F = K * \Delta{x}$
