The time it takes for 1g of strontium-90 to decay to 250 mg is; 57.6 years

<h3>What is the half life of an element?</h3>

The formula for half life is;

A(t) = A₀ * (¹/₂)^(t/t_1/2)

Where;

A(t) is amount left after t years

A₀  the initial quantity of the substance that will undergo decay;

t_1/2 is the half-life of the decaying quantity.

We are given;

t_1/2 = 28.8 years

A₀ = 1 g

A(t) = 250 mg = 0.25 g

Thus;

0.25 = 1 *  (¹/₂)^(t/28.8)

log 0.25 = (t/28.8) log (1/2)

-0.60206 = (t/28.8) * -0.3010

t = 2 * 28.8

t = 57.6 years

Ilya [14]

I'll be 26, and have had my daughter at 22.

Just as my mom had me at 16.. I would ask my mom for help; as I have never done it before. Although I know nothing about raising a kid I will try my best to help her, shape her, feel confident, know her worth, and her beauty. Although I wouldn't be the best mom i would still try for my daughter.

Ex; 1.. Learn how to ride a bike with mommy, I would put training wheels on my bike,  aswell as hers. We would slowly progress to no training wheels. Everytime she gets frustrated I tell her " practice makes perfect"  I would then say " Alright d/n (daughter name) lets pretend that that there is someone following us, and if we stop they are going to be tickling us. So lets go we dont want to be tickled right d/n? " " Are you tired yet? " " Unt Unt, mommy, can we try with no training wheels?" d/n says. I would shake my head and take the wheels off. " Look moma im doing it!" Then I would start smiling , " Good job d/n remember to focus ok? Try your best to focus" * D/N gets off* " Great job D/N lets go get some ice cream to celebrate your hard work."
