Uranium-235 has a half-life of 700 million years. How many years will it take Uranium-235 to decay to 1/8 of its original mass?

Answer: 2.1 billion years

Explanation:

The half-life of an element refers to the amount of time it would take for half of its mass to decay.

In 700 million years, Uranium - 235 will be 1/2 of its original mass.

If divided by 2, the 1/2 becomes 1/4 which is the proportion of the original mass the Uranium would get to after another 700 million years.

Dividing by another would get the Uranium-235 to 1/8 of its original value and would take another 700 million years.

Total time taken:

= 700 + 700 + 700

= 2,100 million years

= 2.1 billion years

write a paragraph describing three senses that circus entertainers rely on explain why it is important
Gala2k [10]
I'm glad you asked because I just watched a video about all the senses(not just five), so hope this helps. :)

Circus Performers rely on many different senses, but here are the most important ones. 

There are way more than five senses and a lot of people don't know that.
 One of the senses they use is equilibrioception. It may sound very brainy, but it's just a big word for balance. Some tightrope walkers use this.

Another sense they use is touch. This is common. All circus performers use this to perform and make their crowd laugh!
 
The last sense is Magnetoception. Another big word with small meaning. This word just means they know the direction they're going to perform.

Circus Performers rely on many different senses, but the most important ones have been stated.
