Q1. The answer is 1.
It can be calculated using the equation:
(1/2)ⁿ = x
x - decimal amount remaining,
n - a number of half-lives.
x = 50% = 50/100 = 0.5
n = ?
(1/2)ⁿ = 0.5
log((1/2)ⁿ) = log(0.5)
n * log(1/2) = log(0.5)
n * log(0.5) = log(0.5)
n = log(0.5)/log(0.5)
n = 1
Q10. The answer is 2.
It can be calculated using the equation:
(1/2)ⁿ = x
x - decimal amount remaining,
n - a number of half-lives.
Rhyolite #2 has 25% of the parent H remaining:
x = 25% = 25/100 = 0.25
n = ?
(1/2)ⁿ = 0.25
log((1/2)ⁿ) = log(0.25)
n * log(1/2) = log(0.25)
n * log(0.5) = log(0.25)
n = log(0.25)/log(0.5)
n = -0.602 / - 0.301
n = 2
Q3. The answer is 100 million years.
A number of half-lives (n) is a quotient of total time elapsed (t) and length of half-life (H):
n = t/H
n = 1
t = ?
H = 100 000 000 years
n = t/H
t = n * H
t = 1 * 100 000 000 years
t = 100 000 000 years<span>

Answer: Many pathogenic fungi are parasitic in humans and are known to cause diseases of humans and other animals. In humans, parasitic fungi most commonly enter the body through a wound in the epidermis (skin). Such wounds may be insect punctures or accidentally inflicted scratches, cuts, or bruises. One example of a fungus that causes disease in humans is Claviceps purpurea, the cause of ergotism (also known as St. Anthony’s fire), a disease that was prevalent in northern Europe in the Middle Ages, particularly in regions of high rye-bread consumption. The wind carries the fungal spores of ergot to the flowers of the rye, where the spores germinate, infect and destroy the ovaries of the plant, and replace them with masses of microscopic threads cemented together into a hard fungal structure shaped like a rye kernel but considerably larger and darker. This structure, called an ergot, contains a number of poisonous organic compounds called alkaloids. A mature head of rye may carry several ergots in addition to noninfected kernels. When the grain is harvested, much of the ergot falls to the ground, but some remains on the plants and is mixed with the grain. Although modern grain-cleaning and milling methods have practically eliminated the disease, the contaminated flour may end up in bread and other food products if the ergot is not removed before milling. In addition, the ergot that falls to the ground may be consumed by cattle turned out to graze in rye fields after harvest. Cattle that consume enough ergot may suffer abortion of fetuses or death. In the spring, when the rye is in bloom, the ergot remaining on the ground produces tiny, black, mushroom-shaped bodies that expel large numbers of spores, thus starting a new series of infections.
Answer:
Explanation:
This question is incomplete because of the absence of the graph. However, the independent variable of an experiment is the variable that is not affected by any other variable during the course of the experiment but is however intentionally or unintentionally predetermined by the researcher conducting the experiment. For example, in an experiment to determine the effect of age on blood pressure; age is the independent variable because the age class/groups of the individuals to be used can be determined by the researcher also the age cannot be affected by the pressure (the age of a person cannot change because of an increase/decrease in blood pressure).
Also, the control of an experiment is the variable/data in which other data in the same experiment are compared to. For example, in an experiment to determine the effect of a substance (such as sepin-1) on the growth of cancer cells (using a culture medium), the control can be the culture medium that was not given any substance or the culture medium that was given a pure substance of no effect like water. This means, in this control culture medium, the cancer cells will continue to grow normally while that growth will be compared with what is seen in the culture medium treated with sepin-1.
Answer:
Choose the true answer(s) from the choices below that best describe electrical force.
Electrical force is found between two charged objects.
Electrical force is a contact force between two objects.
Electrical force can be seen between objects with positive and negative
Explanation:
The above statements best describes the electric force as it entails electric charge between two objects that are positively charged. It could be while in contact especially when one is positively charged and the second is negatively charged.
The X symbol looks too much like the multiplication symbol, it also makes using it as a variable more confusing.
