Answer:

d ) 16 years

Explanation:

If n be number of half years passed then

[tex]\frac{m}{m_0} =\sqrt[n]{\frac{1}{2} }[/tex]

m is mass undecayed m₀ is original mass

Here m = 6 g

m₀ =24 g

Putting these values

\frac{6}{24} =\sqrt[n]{\frac{1}{2} }

n = 2 half lives

age = 2 x 8 = 16 years

= 16 years

lara [203]

At the ground the ball will always have velocity along the direction of gravity. If upward motion is taken positive it will always have negative velocity at the ground because, if the ball was given an initial upward velocity then gravity will decelerate it and bring it down with a negative final velocity. If the ball is given an initial downward velocity then the ball will be further accelerated by gravity in the downward direction only, again maintaining negative direction. The magnitude however in both cases will be different. the final velocity at the ground will have higher magnitude in case of elevator moving downwards.

The surface temperature of our sun is about 5800 K, and the peak of its intensity curve is in the middle of the visible spectrum

Explanation:

i expected to use Stefan's law of heat exchange but the value you gave aren't conclusive.

I should say that the temperature of the star should be close to that of the sun because of the similarity in the intensity curves

Discuss the effects of breaking a food chain.
Tom [10]

Explanation:

Food chain is linear sequence of the organisms through which the nutrients and the energy pass as one organism eats the another.

<u>If one species in the food chain ceases to exist, the other members in rest of chain could cease to exist too or may increase in population which can affect other food chains. (Breaking of food chain).</u>

This is because the animals in the food chain are dependent on the nutrient present in the another.

For example in the food chain,

Grass ----  Deer ------ Lion

If all deer extinct, the lion will die as they will have nothing to feed on and the population of grass increases.
