Between 2014 and 2016, more than 25,000 children in Flint, Michigan, drank water that was contaminated with lead from lead pipes

. During this time, the city claimed the water was safe to drink. Which of these actions could the city have taken to ensure that the drinking water was free from lead?

Answer:

Regularly test the water in residents' homes.

Explanation:

The only way to know if tap water contains lead is to do tests to determine the levels of that metal in the water. Therefore, the state is under an obligation to constantly conduct such tests in the resident´s homes and thus determine whether the water supplied is fit for human consumption.  

The state after the tests must guarantee the population the treatment of the water to reduce the levels of lead. The main pipes that contain lead pipes must be changed, as well as those parts of the service connections made of lead.

Wich statement best describes the difference between strong nuclear forces and weak nuclear forces
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: option D is right.

Explanation: There are four types of fundamental forces in nature.These are named as gravitational force,electromagnetic force,strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

As per the question we have to understand the role of strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

An atom consists of a nucleus surrounded by extra nuclear part consisting of electrons in various orbits.The nucleus contains two basic particles called protons and neutrons .Protons are positively charged while neutrons are neutral.Protons being positively charged will impart repulsive force on each other and may come out of the nucleus.But the nucleus is stable.That is due to the strong nuclear force.

Strong nuclear force is a spin dependent and charge independent force which comes into existence due to the mutual interaction of gluons which binds the protons and neutrons .Hence it is attractive in nature.It's 100 times more stronger than electromagnetic force also.

Weak nuclear force comes into existence during radio -active decay .This force is due to the exchange of ' w' and 'z' bosons[the particles like protons and neutrons having integral or zero spin] which are heavier in nature.The role of it is to change protons into neutrons and vice versa.Its a short range force.

Hence the option D is right.

1) How old is a bone in which the Carbon-14 in it has undergone 8 half-lives?
gladu [14]

1) How old is a bone in which the Carbon-14 in it has undergone 8 half-lives?

Using the graph form the picture you count 8 times the halving of C¹⁴ and you arrive at 45600 years.

2) In the process of radiocarbon dating, the fixed period of radioactive decay used to determine age is called the half-life.

3) A certain byproduct in nuclear reactors, 210Po, decays to become 206Pb. After a time period of about 276 days, only about 25% of an original sample of 210Po remains. The remainder has decayed to 206Pb. Determine the approximate half-life of 210Po.

What the problem is telling you is that at 276 days only 25% original sample remains. If you divide the number of days by two the quantity of original sample will be multiplied by two, and you will have 138 days and 50% of original sample. This is the answer because the the half-life of a isotope is the time in which 50% of original quantity of radioactive atoms will disintegrate.
