El Niño refers to the above-average sea-surface temperatures that periodically develop across the east-central equatorial Pacific. It represents the warm phase of the ENSO cycle. La Niña refers to the periodic cooling of sea-surface temperatures across the east-central equatorial Pacific.
(weather patterns not girl and boy)
I don't think that "Maxwell's demon" is possible to happen. Take for example a boiling water poured in a glass and cold water poured in the same glass. They each have different temperatures but when they are put together in the same container, the boiling water releases its energy and absorbs some coldness of the cold water and vice versa. In the end, the water temperature will be the average temperature of both types of water. Boiling water and cold water in the same container can never keep their original temperature. It just is not possible. Even if there is a glass partition to separate these waters, heat and coldness will still be transferred between the two through the glass partition.
Answer:
37.15 h.
Explanation:
- The decay of radioactive elements obeys first-order kinetics.
- For first-order reaction: <em>kt = lna/(a-x).</em>
where, k is the rate constant of the reaction <em>(k = 2.4 x 10⁻² h⁻¹)</em>.
t is the time of the reaction <em>(t = ??? day)</em>.
a is the initial concentration of nuclides <em>(a = 100 %)</em>.
(a-x) is the remaining concentration of nuclides <em>(a - x = 100% - 59% = 41.0 %)</em>.
<em>∴ kt = lna/(a-x)</em>
(2.4 x 10⁻² h⁻¹)(t) = ln(100.0%)/(41.0%).
(2.4 x 10⁻² h⁻¹)(t) = 0.8916.
<em>∴ t </em>= (0.8916)/(2.4 x 10⁻² h⁻¹) = <em>37.15 h.</em>
