If there are 50 grams of U-238 on day zero of radioactive decay, how much will there be after 4.5 billion years

2 answers:

4 0

We use the formula of the half-life to calculate for the remaining U-238 after 4.5 billion years. The formula is expressed as A = A₀ (1/2)^(t/h) where A is the final amount, A₀ is the initial amount of the substance, t is the time and h is the half-life of the substance wherein for U-238 h is equal to 4.47 billion years.

<span>A = A₀ (1/2)^(t/h)
</span>A = 50 (1/2)^(4.5 / 4.47)
A = 24.88 g

Think of a time where you have observed someone's behavior and been encouraged to do the same. What did you do? Was it a good or

Answer:

i'm not sure if you are asking as a personal question or a book question so i'm taking it personal.

Explanation:

I was doing a simple task that was handed to me to test my responsibility and I agreed (knowing i am responsible :3). my first thought was "man , this is easy!" but then i started seeing the other kids slaking off and quiting their tasks. I thought that was against the rules, but then i saw my bff doing it too and i thought "this should be ok then!" so i did the same. other kids where still doing it. the teacher came, saw the ones still working and smiled... but when the teacher looked at the ones slaking off omg... his face was like * im gonna kill yall* we took one big gulp and whined. the teacher awarded the ones who completed the task... the others , we had to do our original task but doubled... for 3 weeks!!! it was awful!!!

I WOULD NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!

Answer:

a = 7.5 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law, let's create a coordinate system with the x axis parallel to the plane and the y axis perpendicular to the plane

Y axis

N - W cos θ = 0

N = mg cos θ

X axis

W sin θ = m a

mg sin θ = m a

a = g sin θ

let's calculate

a = 9.8 cos 40

a = 7.5 m / s²
