Answer:

Nuclear decay rates are constant

Explanation:

Spontaneous decay of unstable nuclei is a process of a statistical nature, it is not possible to predict with certainty when an individual radioactive nucleus will decay, nor can the decay process be influenced in any way.

Therefore, the half-life of radionuclides (specific for each radionuclide) is defined as the time period in which half of the initial number of radioactive nuclei decays.

The unit of measurement for the radioactivity of the material is the becquerel (Bq) and denotes the number of decays in one second (1Bq = 1 decay / 1 second).

ivolga24 [154]
The pectoral girdle articulates with the axial skeleton only at the Sternoclavicular ligament<span>. The pectoral girdle connects the upper limbs to the axial skeleton and serves as the attachment site for the muscles of the upper back, chest and neck. The clavicle is the only long bone that lies in a horizontal position in the body. it has three regions; the medial end, the lateral end, and the shaft. The medial end has a triangular shape and articulates with the manubrium portion of the sternum. This forms sternoclavicular joint, which is the only bony articulation between the pectoral girdle of the upper limb and the axial skeleton. </span>

The ______ is a fossa formed by the ilium, ischium and pubis which with the femoral head forms the _______ joint.
Setler [38]

The acetabulum is a fossa formed by the ilium, ischium and pubis which with the femoral head forms the coxal joint.

The acetabulum is made up of the three bones that make up the coxal bone (hip bone).

The ischium, which offers the lower and side limits to the acetabulum, makes up somewhat more than two-fifths of the structure.

Less than two-fifths of the acetabulum's structure is provided by the ilium, which also serves as the top limit of the joint.

The pubis, which is close to the midline, forms the remainder.

The acetabulofemoral joint (art. coxae), also known as the coxal joint, is the joint between the head of the femur and the acetabulum of the pelvis.

Its main job is to support the weight of the body in both static (such as while standing) and dynamic (such as when walking or running) postures.
