Answer:

91.16% has decayed & 8.84% remains

Explanation:

A = A₀e⁻ᵏᵗ => ln(A/A₀) = ln(e⁻ᵏᵗ) => lnA - lnA₀ = -kt => lnA = lnA₀ - kt

Rate Constant (k) = 0.693/half-life = 0.693/10³yrs = 6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹

Time (t) = 1000yrs  

A = fraction of nuclide remaining after 1000yrs

A₀ = original amount of nuclide = 1.00 (= 100%)  

lnA = lnA₀ - kt

lnA = ln(1) – (6.93 x 10ˉ⁴yrsˉ¹)(3500yrs) = -2.426

A = eˉ²∙⁴²⁶ = 0.0884 = fraction of nuclide remaining after 3500 years

Amount of nuclide decayed = 1 – 0.0884 = 0.9116 or 91.16% has decayed.

The Sun is a yellow star that's both average in brightness and temperature and is classified as
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Classifying stars according to their spectrum is a very powerful way to begin to understand how they work.  As we said last time, the spectral sequence O, B, A, F, G, K, M is a temperature sequence, with the hottest stars being of type O (surface temperatures 30,000-40,000 K), and the coolest stars being of type M (surface temperatures around 3,000 K).  Because hot stars are blue, and cool stars are red, the temperature sequence is also a color sequence.  It is sometimes helpful, though, to classify objects according to two different properties.  Let's say we try to classify stars according to their apparent brightness, also.  We could make a plot with color on one axis, and apparent brightness on the other axis, like this:

Option E, Real gas particles have more complex interactions than ideal gas particles.

In ideal gases, there is absolutely no interaction between any atoms. At all. Atoms simply don't bump into each other in ideal gases.

Obviously, you know that's unrealistic. In real gases, atoms collide into each other all the time.

. If you constructed graphs, what trends do they indicate in your data?
klasskru [66]

Answer:

A linear pattern is a continuous decrease or increase in numbers over time. On a graph, this data appears as a straight line angled diagonally up or down (the angle may be steep or shallow). So the trend either can be upward or downward.
