<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>
1600 years
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- Half life is the time taken for a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original amount.
- We can use the formula; N = O × (1/2)^n ; where N is the new mass, O is the original amount and n is the number of half lives.
- A sample of radium-226 takes 3200 years to decay to 1/4 of its original amount.
Therefore;
<em>1/4 = 1 × (1/2)^n</em>
<em>1/4 = (1/2)^n </em>
<em>n = 2 </em>
Thus; <em>3200 years is equivalent to 2 half lives.</em>
<em>Hence, the half life of radium-226 is 1600 years</em>

of a sound wave increases.
Pitch and amplitude are both characteristics of a wave, but they're not
connected, and they don't influence each other.</span>
Answer: Rubidium has 5 orbits/shells/energy levels.
Explanation: It's electron configuration is as follows: 2-8-18-8-1.
To solve this problem, we use the equation:
<span>d = (v^2 - v0^2) /
2a</span>
where,
d = distance of collapse
v0 = initial velocity = 101 km / h = 28.06 m / s
v = final velocity = 0
a = acceleration = - 300 m / s^2
d = (-28.06 m / s)^2 / (2 * - 300 m / s^2)
<span>d = 1.31 m</span>
The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below. Although the rocks of the lithosphere are still considered elastic, they are not viscous
