Answer:

6400 years

Explanation:

Given that;

N/No =(1/2)^t/t1/2

No = amount of radioactive material originally present

N = amount of radioactive material present at time t

t= time taken for N amount of radioactive material to remain

t1/2 = have life of the radioactive material

2.5/40 = (1/2)^t/1600

1/16 =  (1/2)^t/1600

(1/2)^4 = (1/2)^t/1600

4 = t/1600

t = 4 * 1600

t = 6400 years

Examine the weather map. The arrows are pointing to the line with triangles. What does the line indicated by the arrows most lik
kvasek [131]

The correct answer is - a front.

On this image, the lines are representing a front, and since the signs are marked with blue color, it means that it is a cold front. The fronts are advancing masses of air. In this case, we have a cold front, thus we have advancing cold air masses in the western part of the US, and in the Great Lakes region and the northeastern part of the country. This means that these areas will be affected by colder air masses, that will bring in higher air pressure, colder weather, and cold winds from the direction from which these cold fronts are coming.
