A half life is the amount of time it takes for half of an isotope to decay in a given sample. The half life of carbon 14 (which is an isotope) is 5730 years. Carbon-14 is present in many fossils, hence scientists use this to figure out the age of fossils, this specific usage is called carbon dating.

<h2>What is life?</h2>

Life, as we know, Life exists only on planet earth. Life distinguishes itself from other physical entities through biological processes such as reproduction and metabolism. Today, life is abundant and able to thrive in almost every conceivable environment. So how would one define life?

<h3>Definition of Life.</h3>

Currently, there is no consensus on the definition of life. The most popular definitions build around the fact that life involves: homeostasis; is composed of cells; has a definite lifecycle; can grow; showcases metabolism; responds to stimuli; adapt to the environment, reproduce and evolve. These characteristics are now known as life processes.

Most definitions of life are descriptive. This is because life is technically a process rather than a substance. It becomes even more convoluted due to the lack of knowledge of the characteristics of organisms, if any, that may have developed in planets outside earth. Life can also be defined from a physics perspective where living organisms are considered as thermodynamic systems with an organised molecular structure that is capable of reproduction as well as evolution.

The act of strengthening the muscles of the abdominals and
Elina [12.6K]

The act of strengthening the muscles of the abdomen and torso is <u>core strengthening. </u>

Explanation:

The core is the central part of the body comprised of about 35 (major and minor) muscle groups which connect to the pelvis, spine and hip area. These can be broadly grouped as the abdominals, back extensors, hip, and lateral trunk muscle groups.  

The core area is the centre of gravity and stability for all bodily movements.

Strength of core muscles is very important especially to athletes and sports persons. Weakness of core muscles leads to general body weakness and fatigue, muscle injuries like sprains, less endurance and power, back pain, and poor posture.  

Core strengthening exercises are done to train the core muscles and strengthen them and work in harmony for better body balance, stability, and movement. Core strengthening exercises include crunches, plank, L-sit, sit-ups, push-ups etc
