Answer:

D. 0.75 grams

Explanation:

The data given on the iridium 182 are;

The half life of the iridium 182, $t_{(1/2)}$ = 15 years

The mass of the sample of iridium, N₀ = 3 grams

The amount left, N(t) after two half lives is given as follows;

$N(t) = N_0 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{t}{t_{1/2}} }$

For two half lives, t = 2 × $t_{(1/2)}$

∴ t = 2 × 15 = 30

$\dfrac{t}{t_{(1/2)}} = \dfrac{30}{15} = 2$

$\therefore N(t) = 3 \times\left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^2 = 0.75$

∴ The amount left, N(t) = 0.75 grams

What is the wavelength if the frequency is 29.2 hz?

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer : The wavelength is $1.027\times 10^7m$

Solution : Given,

frequency = 29.2 Hz

Formula used :

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}\\\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}$

where,

$\nu$ = frequency

$\lambda$ = wavelength

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the wavelength.

$\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s}{29.2Hz}=0.1027\times 10^8m=1.027\times 10^7m$ $(1Hz=1s^{-1})$

Therefore, the wavelength is $1.027\times 10^7m$

Anyone think they can help me with this one?

BARSIC [14]

To name this Alkyne, simply count from the direction that will give the lowest starting number to appear at the beginning of the carbon triple bond.

If you were to count from the top of the chain, the position of the carbon next to the triple bond would be 4. Yet if you count from the bottom chain going left to right and above the chain, the position of the carbon next to the triple bond would be 3.

Then identify the groups that are connected off the parent chain, here we have a methyl group on carbon 2.

Thus the name would be 2 - methyl - 3 - heptyne. I believe.

Think about the animals in an arctic ecosystem. How would those animals adapt over time if global temperatures rise over the nex

brilliants [131]

Given the fact that we are seeing a rise in the temperature of the globe, the artic animals in that ecosystem must adapt by a reduction in the rate of metabolism.

<h3>What is global warming?</h3>

Several evidences continue to emerge that the temperature of the earth have continued to increase and this is largely due to the fact that since the turn of the twentieth century and the rise of industrialization, there have been a rise in the emission of the carbon dioxide and other green house gases into the environment. As a result of this, the temperature of the earth has continued to rise steadily leading to the melting of the ice cover and the destruction of ecosystems that are found around the artic regions of the earth.

Now, we know that an organism is able to adapt to the changes that occur in its habitat by being able to alter some of its structure and function.

Given that the organisms that live in the artic are adapted to cold regions and low temperatures, the metabolic rate of the organisms is high in order to produce heat.

As a result of the rise in global temperatures, the organisms would have to reduce their rate of metabolism.
