Answer:

4860 years

Explanation:

From

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

Where:

No= mass as time t=0

N= mass at time t

t= time

t1/2= half life

0.125/1 = (1/2)^t/1620

1/8 = (1/2)^t/1620

(1/2)^3= (1/2)^t/1620

3= t/1620

t= 3×1620

t= 4860 years

We can calculate years by using the half-life equation. It is expressed as:

A = Ao e^-kt

<span>where A is the amount left at t years, Ao is the initial concentration, and k is a constant.

</span>From the half-life data, we can calculate for k.

1/2(Ao) = Ao e^-k(1620)
<span>k = 4.28 x 10^-4
</span>
0.125 = 1 e^-<span>4.28 x 10^-4 (</span>t)
t = 4259 years

What is the total amount of matter in an ecosystem doing? always changing always increasing always decreasing remaining the same
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Remaining the same

Explanation:

By the Lavoisier's principle the matter can't be created nor destroyed, but always transformed.

It means that in an ecosystem, the matter, and also the energy, is not increasing and not decreasing, the total amount remains the same, but in different forms.

In this experiment you’ll be grabbing the relationship between mass and volume you’ll be placing the volume on the X axis and th
Contact [7]

The mass and volume has direct proportional to each other.

<h3>What is the relationship between mass and volume?</h3>

The volume of the object is directly proportional to its mass which means that if the volume increases the mass of the object increases also increase and vice versa. Due to this direct relationship, the line of regression will go straight between X and Y axis.

So we can conclude that mass and volume has direct proportional to each other.

Do you think that the human being is the center of the universe?
Andrej [43]
I think that the sun is the center of the universe, not a human being. Everything revolves around the sun, not someone. U know when to sleep, when the time is, and when to wake up based on the sun. All the planets revolve around it. This is why I think the sun is the center of the universe, not a human being.
