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.

2: It's not just the capillary action, but the pull from transpiration (the evaporation of water from the tree) that is used to pull water up from the roots. 

<span>The second question needs context. Strong bonds alone won't cause tension. I don't see how adhesion is different. High vapour pressure could do it, but it's the difference in pressures that'd cause tension (and the resistance of that pressure by the surface). So, a low and high pressure would be needed. Poorly worded question :( </span>

<span>1: "Adhesion is the tendency of certain dissimilar molecules to cling together due to attractive forces." [1] </span>

<span>3: The other three answere would not work. Think of a boat. </span>

<span>3: If you push gas, it will be compressed(get smaller). If you push liquid it will push something else. Thus, liquids are good for transferring force. This is a hydraulic system.</span>

A wire is used as a heating element that has a resistance that is fairly independent of its temperature within its operating ran
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Double the current

Explanation:

The energy delivered by the heater is related to the current by the following relation:

E= I^{2}R t

let R * t = k ( ∴ R and t both are constant)

so E= k I^{2}

Now let:

E2= k I₂^2

E2= 4E

⇒ k I₂^2= 4* k I^{2}

Cancel same terms on both sides.

I₂^2= 4* I^{2}

taking square-root on both sides.

√I₂^2 = √4* I^2

⇒I₂= 2I

If we double the current the energy delivered each minute be 4E.
