Is it true that the atomic bomb couldn't exist without radioactivity?
Simply to put it Yes. Atomic Bombs is a form as Nuclear bomb and Nuclear products/elements such as Uranium 235 (a material used in a atomic bomb) emits radioactive particles. Radioactivity Particles = radioactivity.
Where is Americium commonly used?
Americium-241 is a radioactive isotope commonly found in smoke detectors.
What is the meaning of despotism as used in the declaration?
it means the government put them under absolute authority
What kind of political leadership was used by Suleiman the Magnificent?
Suleiman the Magnificent was an absolute monarch.
What are conical springs used for?
Conical springs are most often used for "telescoping" of a rod and a bore. They are used in a wide variety of industries, and the exact use will determine the manufacturing requirements of the spring, which will determine the ultimate use for which a particular spring can be used.
What do geologists use to determine the absolute ages of rock?

Radioactive dating is used to determine the absolute ages of rocks. By Jennifer Palos
Scientists used radioactive decay to measure what?
amount if living organism that is expected to radioactive isotope.
What types of elements are useful for dating materials?
Radioactive elements are used to date the age of rocks. Radioactive elements decay according to a known pattern. Scientists can use the elements of that pattern to determine when the rock with the original radioactive element was formed.

What are those methods which are used for absolute dating?
Radioactivity. The use of radioactive elements like Uranium (U) and Thorium (Th).

Which radioactive element used in AIDS treatment?
Radioactive elements are not used in the treatment of AIDS.
Why cant rates of erosion and deposition be used to determine absolute age?
They CAN be used to determine accurate absolute ages.
What are two ways geologists determine the age of fossils?
The two methods are "RELATIVE DATING" and "ABSOLUTE DATING". :)
Why is radioactive decay used to determine the absolute ages of rocks?
**this happens because it does. is a common answer i receive but is not true. BUT the answer IS that radioactive decay is used to determine the ABSOLUTE age of rocks because it is more accurate, and because when you put radioactive decay and you put a rock there, you see a process going on. correct me if I'm wrong but i believe that using this is receive don't listen to what i say below: When you take radioactive material, and you put a solid in there, what happens? COMBUSTION! this is caused by a CHEMICAL REACTION. so common sense tells me that when you put radioactive decay to determine a rocks absolute age, its common knowledge that they use it for accuracy, and they take the age and see how old it (the rocks) are. that's how they know the age of rocks. (look in your every day science book it should say) hope this helped :3 :D **
