Answer:

2.5 grams

Explanation:

In radioactive decay, one half-life is the time it takes for half of the radioactive sample to decay. So if it takes two hours (for example) for a sample to go from 8 grams to 4 grams, then one half-life has passed (since half the sample has decayed), and the half-life is two hours.

<u>Calculation:</u>

2 half-lives = sample halved twice

10 grams / 2 = 5 grams (one half-life has passed)

5 grams / 2 = 2.5 grams (two half-lives have passed)

2.5g

10÷2=5
5÷2=2.5

everytime it completes a half life, you divide the number by two

Answer:

Observation: Fertiliser produced tall pea plants

Hypothesis: Pea plants grown in the soil with the addition of fertiliser will grow taller than pea plants without fertiliser

Independent variable: Fertiliser

Dependent variable: Growth of plant

Control group: 5 pea plants in the pot without fertiliser

Experimental group: 5 pea plants in the pot with fertiliser added

Qualitative or Quantative data: Qualitative

Explanation:

Observation is using your senses to describe what you see.

A hypothesis is a prediction.

The independent variable is what you change in an experiment.

The dependent variable is what changes as a result of the independent variable. The dependent variable is what is measured in an experiment.

The experimental group is the group of subjects in an experiment which are exposed to the independent variable.

The control group is the group of subjects in an experiment which are not exposed to the independent variable.

Qualitative data is data that can be described but not measured. Quantitative data is data that can be measured.
