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:
a) The answer is 11,7m
b) The time it takes to fall will be shorter
Explanation:
We will use the next semi-parabolic movement equations
Where g(gravity acceleration)=9,81m/s^2
Also Xi, Hi and Viy are zero, as the stones Billy-Jones is kicking stay still before he moves them, so we take that point as the reference point
The first we must do is to find how much time the stones take to fall, this way:
Then t=1,54s
After that we need to replace t to find H, this way
Then H=11,7m
b) The stones will fall faster as the stones will be kicked harder, it will cause the stones move faster, it means, more horizontal velocity. In order to see it better we could assume the actual velocity is two times more than it is, so it will give us half of the time, this way:
Then, t=0,77
