If the half life of an isotope is 20 years, then half of the original amount will  remain after 20 years has passed.

That's what "half-life" means.

Similarly, after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\4 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\8 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\16 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\32 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\64 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\128 of the original amount remains.

Sergio039 [100]
The answer is true: the pressure of a gas will decrease as temperature decreases in a rigid container.

This is one of the central gas laws called the Gay-Lussac law that states for a given gas at a constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its temperature. We also know that as temperature reduces, so too does molecular interaction. Increased temperature results in increased pressure, and decreased temperature therefore results in decreased pressure.

Your bedroom gets direct sunlight through a window during the hottest part of the day. You ask your mom to turn down the thermom
ycow [4]
I want to say its cooled by reflection because of the foil, sun reflects off of the foil back into the atmosphere. I don't think it's conduction because I have the foil on my windows and it's never warm to the touch. it's not a liquid so I don't believe it's convection. The foil reflects the radiation so I don't think it's b, c or d. so I wanna say A but I'm not 100% sure
