If the half-life of a sample of a radioactive substance is 30 seconds, how much would be left after 60 seconds? <span>
A. one-fourth</span>
The answer is temperature (may be wrong)
Answer:
A, T, C y G, son las "letras" del código del ADN; representan los compuestos químicos adenina (A), timina (T), citosina (C) y guanina (G), respectivamente, que constituyen las bases de nucleótidos del ADN. ...El código genético es el conjunto de reglas que define cómo se traduce una secuencia de nucleótidos en el ARNm a una secuencia de aminoácidos en una proteína
Equation for Half life :
A = a(0.5)^(t/h)
A is current amount, "a" is initial amount, h is halflife, t is time
5 = 40(0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
5/40 = (0.5)^(t/1.3x10^9)
take the log of both sides , power rule
Log(5/40) = (t/1.3x10^9) * Log(0.5)
(1.3x10^9) * Log(5/40) / Log(0.5) = t
3.9x10^9 years = t
And if you think about what a half life is, the time it take for the amount to reduce to half.
40/2 = 20
20/2 = 10
10/2 = 5
It went through 3 half-lifes
3 * 1.3x10^9 = 3.9x10^9 years
