Answer:

Proactive

Explanation:

Here, Sheila's old memory causing her not to recall her new memory this is a case of proactive interference. Her old address is her old memory and her new address is her new memory.

Retroactive interference is the opposite of proactive interference in which new memories make it difficult to remember old memories.

Decay theory states that it becomes difficult for the person to remember old memories due to weakening of memories over time.

Suppose you find a rock that contains 10 micrograms of radioactive potassium-40, which has a half-life of 1.25 billion years. By
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The rock is 3.75 billion years ago.

Explanation:

Given that:

Half life = 1.25 billion years

1 billion years = 10⁹ years

So,

Half life = 1.25 × 10⁹ years

t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}

Where, k is rate constant

So,  

k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac {ln\ 2}{1.25\times 10^9}\ year^{-1}

The rate constant, k = 5.5452 × 10⁻¹⁰ years⁻¹

Initial amount [A₀] = 80 micrograms

Final amount [A_t] = 10 micrograms

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

So,  

10=80\times e^{-5.5452\times 10^{-10}\times t}

80e^{-5.5452\times \:10^{-10}x}=10

\frac{80e^{-5.5452\times \:10^{-10}x}}{80}=\frac{10}{80}

\ln \left(e^{-5.5452\times \:10^{-10}x}\right)=\ln \left(\frac{1}{8}\right)

x=\frac{10^{10}\times \:3\ln \left(2\right)}{5.5452}=3.75\times 10^9

So,

<u>The rock is 3.75 billion years ago.</u>

KengaRu [80]
The answer is granting citizenship.

There are both federal and state taxes. Holding courts is both a state and federal power. And states can define criminal acts, as every state has their own statutes, but so can the country as a whole.

The north pole has no land, only ice, witch two countries have land closets to that pole ?​
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The two countries with the closest land to the North Pole are Canada and Greenland (Kingdom of Denmark).

Explanation:

Geographers generally believe that the closest piece of land to the North Pole is Kaffeklubben Island, which is an island off the northern coast of Greenland. Kaffeklubben Island is located about 430 miles from the North Pole.  There are some semi-permanent banks of rock and gravel that might technically be claimed to lie closer to the geographical point. The nearest permanent settlement is Alert in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut, Canada. The permanent population there however is only 62.  There are more people residing in Alert at any given time, but they are there temporarily because they man weather stations and other government and military posts in Alert.  It is 508 miles from the North Pole.  The North Pole is located in the center of the Arctic Ocean and it is covered with shifting pieces of ice.

Answer:

The Proclamation of Amnesty and Reconstruction was his plan to get the Confederate states back into the Union by granting pardons to all Southerners (except political leaders) who took an oath of future allegiance to the Union.
