<span>If 1 eighth equals 1 billion 7 eighth equals 7 billion.
The asker of the second question needs a tutorial in radiometric dating. There is little likelihood that the daughter isotope has the same atomic weight as the parent isotope. To measure the mass isotopes doesn't tell us how many atoms of each exist. To get around that let's pretend — which will likely serve the purpose ineptly intended — that the values give an the particle ratio, 125:875.
The original parent isotope count was 125 + 875 = 1000. The remaining parent isotope is 125/1000 or 1/8. 1/8 = (1/2)^h, where h is the number of half-lives.
h = log (1/8) ÷ log(1/2) = 3
And 3 half-lives • 150,000 years/half-life = 450,000 years.</span>
We are given that a 500 kg object is hanging from a spring. To determine the amount the spring is stretched we will use Hook's law, which states the following:

Where:

Since the object is hanging the only force acting on the spring is the weight of the object. The weight of the object is:

Where:

Plugging in the values we get:

Solving the operations:

Now we solve for "x" from Hook's law by dividing both sides by "k":

Now we plug in the known values:

Solving the operations:

Therefore, the spring is stretched by 5.4 meters.
The answer is going to be c. hope that helped
