Answer:
Half-life = 3 minutes
Explanation:
Using the radioactive decay equation we can solve for reaction constant, k. And by using:
K = ln2 / Half-life
We can find half-life of polonium-218
Radioactive decay:
Ln[A] = -kt + ln [A]₀
Where:
[A] could be taken as mass of polonium after t time: 1.0mg
k is Reaction constant, our incognite
t are 12 min
[A]₀ initial amount of polonium-218: 16mg
Ln[A] = -kt + ln [A]₀
Ln[1.0mg] = -k*12min + ln [16mg]
-2.7726 = - k*12min
k = 0.231min⁻¹
Half-life = ln 2 / 0.231min⁻¹
<h3>Half-life = 3 minutes</h3>
Methane.
Water - H2O
Methane - CH4
Methane has 2 more hydrogens than water.
A. They are the most destructive earthquake waves.
D. They can move in a rolling pattern through rock, like an ocean wave.
Explanation:
Surface waves are seismic waves that cause the most destruction during an earthquake.
Rayleigh waves are known to cause rolling pattern of rocks just like an ocean waves.
- Seismic waves are elastic waves that notably transmits energy.
- They usually accompany earthquakes.
- There are two broad categories of these waves.
- Surface and body waves.
- Seismic surface waves are low frequency and long wavelength waves.
- They travel very close to the surface.
- They are made up of Love and Rayleigh waves.
- Love waves travels laterally in a horizontal fashion.
- Rayleigh waves rolls like ocean waves in the ground.
- The bulk of the destruction caused during an earthquakes is due to these waves.
- They are the last waves to arrive a seismic station
