Answer:

So, you're dealing with a sample of cobalt-60. You know that cobalt-60 has a nuclear half-life of

5.30

years, and are interested in finding how many grams of the sample would remain after

1.00

year and

10.0

years, respectively.

A radioactive isotope's half-life tells you how much time is needed for an initial sample to be halved.

If you start with an initial sample

A

0

, then you can say that you will be left with

A

0

2

→

after one half-life passes;

A

after two half-lives pass;

A

→

after three half-lives pass;

A

How does a greenhouse keep radiant energy from escaping?
Rina8888 [55]
Greenhouse effect is the process of trapping sun radiation in the earth surface, so as to make the planet warm. It is a natural phenomenon in which sun rays that enters the earth surface are re-radiated into the earth surface causing the heat trap in the earth.
In similar manner, green house also trap radiation inside the glass house. The sun rays once reach inside the glass house, strike on plants and objects and reflected back. For entire radiation to escape from the green house, the heat flow between the two points must be proportional to the temperature difference and thermal conductivity. The glass of which the green house are made up, have low thermal conductivity. So, temperature must rise inside glass house so to maintain the heat flow rate of incoming and outgoing radiation.
The green house glass are insulated and they trap the infrared emitted by the objects inside the green house from escaping outside. Since the infrared have longer wave lengths, it is released slowly. 

Also, the thermal energy inside the glass house are transferred by convection process. But the glass walls and roof act as insulator, keeping the radiant energy from escaping outside the green house.<span />

Explain why is it better to use images on hazard labels, rather than words
enot [183]
In the case of an emergency where you might not have enough time to read several lines of writing, not to mention trying to find the hazard warnings when the whole bottle is probably covered in writing, it is much easier to locate and read universal hazard symbols.
