<span>The molten material then spreads out, pushing the older rock to both sides of the ridge. As the molten material cools, it forms a strip of solid rock in the center of the ridge. Then more molten material flows into the crack. The material splits apart the strip of solid rock that formed before, pushing it aside. Hope this helps! (:</span>

What happens to the temperature and density of the material between points B and C?

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Temperature decreases and density increases

Explanation:

Let us remember that density of a material increases as the temperature of the material decreases. So the cooler a material becomes, the denser it becomes also.

Between points B and C, the material rapidly cools down and the temperature decreases accordingly. This ultimately results in an increase in density since cooler materials are denser than hot materials.

The half-life of sr-90 is 28 years. after 56 years of decay only 0. 40 g of a sample remains. what was the mass of the original

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Half-life is the time taken for the concentration of the substance to reduce by 50%. The original sample of strontium had a mass of 1.6 gms. Thus, option d is correct.

The half-life of any radioactive substance is the time period at which the concentration will get reduced to half the initial amount. The initial mass of Sr-90 is calculated as,

$N(t) = N_{0} (\dfrac{1}{2})^{ \frac{t }{t 1/2}}$
