Answer:

50 atoms have decayed during that time

Explanation:

The radioactive decay is represented as

N = N_0 * \frac{1}{2}^X\\

Where N is the amount of radioactive element after a certain time period

N0 is the amount of radioactive element during the initial time period

X is the half life of the radioactive element

Substituting the given  values in above equation,  we get:

N = 100 * \frac{1}{2}^1\\N = 50atoms

So, 50 atoms of carbon-14 remain are left after decaying for 5700 years.

Hence,  atoms of carbon-14 that decay during 5700 years are 100-50 - 50

Which of the following practices are likely to be part of a sustainable society?
Tems11 [23]
I and III only. I assume this is APES. Recycling old products reduces the usage of materials by using old ones and planting a new tree to replace every tree cut down would allow the world to continue economic developments while not exhausting forestry. II is wrong because if every adult had 3 children then a family would have 6 children and more children = more resources

. At a given water/cement ratio, a change in the cement content or aggregate grading can be made to
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

It reduces strength.

Explanation:

It not desirable to produce concrete mixtures of a higher  consistency than normal because the strength of the concrete decreases. Consistency plays an important role in the determination of strength of concrete. Less water than normal quantity in concrete increases the consistency but decreases strength due to incomplete chemical reaction while on the other hand, adding more water would increase water-cement ratio and reduces consistency as well as  strength of the concrete so that's why necessary amount of water and cement should be added to get higher strength.
