Answer:

Isotopes are atoms with different atomic masses which have the same atomic number. The atoms of different isotopes are atoms of the same chemical element; they differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus.

If you can simply pour sand into a cup then why is it not a liquid?
sleet_krkn [62]
If you, for example, poured it onto a wide cup with a volume equal to the total volume of the sand particles, the sand would not spread out to fill the container but would bunch up together in the middle.

A piece of transparent material that is used to focus light and form a image
Soloha48 [4]

Convex Lenses are used to focus light and form a image. They are transparent.

They are one type of lenses. Different type of lenses are used to focus light differently. The basic lenses are concave and convex. Convex lenses converge light falling on it whereas concave lenses diverge light falling on it.

Which of the following scenarios would be optimal for obtaining a date from radioactive decay using these isotopes: 87Rb, 147Sm,
REY [17]

Answer:

a) 238U, 40K and 87Rb, b)   235U and to a lesser extent 40K , c)  he 235U,

d) possibility is 14C , e)this period would be ideal for 14C , f) 14C should be used since it is the one with the least average life time, even though the measurements must be very careful

Explanation:

One of the applications of radioactive decay is the dating of different systems.

To do this, the quantity of radioactive material in a meter is determined and with the average life time, the time of the sample is found.

Let's write the half-life times of the given materials

87Rb T ½ = 4.75 1010 years

147Sm T ½ = 1.06 1011 years

235U = 7,038 108 years

238U = 4.47 109 years

40K = 1,248 109 years

14C = 5,568 103 years

we already have the half-life of the different elements given

a) meteors. As these decomposed in the formation of the solar system, their life time is around 3 109 to 5 109 years, so it is necessary to look for elements that have a life time of this order, among the candidates we have 238U, 40K and 87Rb if these elements were at the moment of the formation of these meteors, there must still be rations in them, instead elements 14C already completely adequate

b) rock. The formation period is 4.20-108 years, therefore one of the most promising elements is 235U and to a lesser extent 40K since it is more abundant in rocks. The other elements with higher life times have not decayed and therefore will not give a true value and the 14C is completely decayed

c) volcanic ash. Formation time 6107 years, the only element that has the possibility of having a count is the 235U, the others have a life time so long that they have not decayed and the 14C is complete, unbent

d) scarp of an earthquake formation time 5 101 years, The only one that has any possibility is 14C even when it has declined very little, all the others, you have time to long that has not decayed

e) INCA excavation. The time of this civilization is about 10000 to 500 years (104 to 5 102 years), we see that this period would be ideal for 14C since it has some period of cementation, the others have not decayed

f) Tree in Blepharitis. 14C should be used since it is the one with the least average life time, even though the measurements must be very careful because of a period of disintegration. We have such a long time that they have not decayed

Why do sound engineers use spongy materials in the walls? (1 point)
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

o to increase the frequency of sound waves. It increases the sound waves to a level of frequency that humans cannot hear so you won't be able to hear many things though the wall other then low noises like pounding.

Explanation:

I am in construction class as well as a student teacher for other construction type programs trust me :D
