<span>The half life of americium is 432 years. That means that after 432 years only half(1/2) of initial amount will be left.
If we had 1 g, then after 432 years we will have only half of it.
1g*1/2=1/2 g=0.5 g
Answer is </span><span>A) 0.5g</span>

Answer:

More than three decade the temperature of earth is increasing equally by the rate of 0.8 Celsius (1.4 Fahrenheit). It is going to be very harmful for the human being as well animals.  The global warming is the main reason and hole in the ozone layer had been the cause of increasing the temperature of the earth. Humans are also involved in cause in temperature of earth by cutting forests and making land suitable for residence and not planting more trees instead of the cut trees.

The cylinder of aluminum in class was approximately 13mm in circumference and 42mm in length. What would be it's approximate mas
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Mass, m = 1.51 grams

Explanation:

It is given that,

The circumference of Aluminium cylinder, C = 13 mm = 1.3 cm

Length of the cylinder, h = 4.2 cm

We know that the density of the Aluminium is 2.7 g/cm³

Circumference, C = 2πr

r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{1.3}{2\pi}\\\\r=0.206\ cm

Density is equal to mass per unit volume.

d=\dfrac{m}{V}

m is mass of the cylinder

V is the volume of the cylinder

V=\pi r^2h\\\\V=\dfrac{22}{7}\times0.206^2\times 4.2\\\\V=0.5601\ cm^3

So,

m=d\times V\\\\m=2.7\times 0.5601\\\\m=1.51\ g

So, the mass of the cylinder is 1.51 grams.
