Answer : It is defined as the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

Explanation :

Half life : It is defined as the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

All radioactive decays follow first order kinetics.

The relation between the half-life and rate constant is:

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

The half-life of the radioactive isotope is remains the same that means a constant value and it is not affected by any external conditions.

maw [93]

Answer:

Accumulation flooding occurs because the ground is completely filled with water and there is no longer a zone of dry land.

Explanation:

Flood is the overflow of water on the land which is usually dry throughout the year. It occurs when more water comes in the river due to rainfall or breaking of dam. But mostly flood occurs, due to melting of ice on the poles because of global warming. Global warming refers to the increase in average temperature due to presence of greenhouse gases such as carbondioxode, methane and water vapors etc in the atmosphere.

"One of the two major systems that are affected by the stress response is the ____________, which results in increased productio
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The correct answer is the endocrine system.

Explanation:

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system are the two prime systems that take part in the stress response.  

At the time of acute or chronic stress, the endocrine system first makes the hypothalamus to discharge CRH or corticotropin-releasing hormone into the bloodstream. The release of CRH further makes the anterior pituitary to discharge ACTH or adrenocorticotropic hormone into the blood. This further stimulates the adrenal cortex to discharge cortisol, that is, one of the glucocorticoid hormone into the bloodstream.  

The cortisol finally makes the organs and tissues present within the body to effectively cope up with the initial stress stimulus.
