Answer:
22,800 years
Explanation:
Half life equation:
A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)
where A is the final amount,
A₀ is the initial amount,
t is time,
and T is the half life.
0.0625 = (½)^(t / 5700)
log 0.0625 = (t / 5700) log 0.5
4 = t / 5700
t = 22,800
It takes 22,800 years.
Answer:
350.72 m/s
Explanation:
Formula for velocity of wave is;
v = fλ
Where;
v is speed
f is frequency
λ is wavelength
We are given;
f = 512 Hz
λ = 0.685 m
Thus;
v = 512 × 0.685
v = 350.72 m/s
The melting of polar ice is one effect of the greenhouse effect, or also global warming.
The greenhouse effect, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is "the <span>warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet (as Earth or Venus) that is caused by conversion of solar radiation into heat in a process involving selective transmission of short wave solar radiation by the atmosphere, its absorption by the planet's surface, and reradiation as infrared which is absorbed and partly reradiated back to the surface by atmospheric gases".
In short, "</span>the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet".
