A sample contains 16 g of a radioactive isotope. how much radioactive
2 answers:
After one half-life, 8 g of radioactive isotope will remain in the sample.
<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>The act of producing radiation spontaneously is known as radioactivity. This is accomplished by an unstable atomic nucleus that want to give up some energy in order to move to a more stable form.
The following formula is used to compute the number of half lives elapsed:
Hence,8 gram of radioactive isotope remains in the sample after 1 half-life.

Answer:
Explanation:
Force needed to apply start the box is greater than the force needed to keep it moving because static friction is greater than the kinetic friction .
A threshold force is needed to move the box and when box started to move kinetic friction comes into play.
Friction force is directly related to the weight of the box as the friction force is
coefficient of friction time Normal reaction .
And Normal reaction is equal to the weight of box if no force is applied.
