The half life equation is -->P(t) = Pi (0.5) ^ (t/c)
c is equal to the element to reach its half-life (5 seconds)t is equal to the duration of time the element is expose to (20 seconds)Pi is the initial amount (340)0.5 is the base of this exponential function to represent half-life.P(t) is the expression for the function of time

P(20) = 340 (0.5)^20/5P(20) = 340 (0.5) ^4P(20)= 21.25 grams
Fraction = P(t)/Pi              = P(20)/Pi              =21.25/340              =1/16
Therefore, when given 20 seconds, 340 grams of Fluorine-21 will degrade to 21.25 grams OR 1/16 of its original mass.
Hope this method helps! (This is my answer btw, I think you may have accidentally posted twice?)

Kepler and Newton studied the movement of planets. Kepler studied the speed of the planets while Newton studied the forces that
nasty-shy [4]
Kepler did not study the speed of the planets, rather, he studied how the planets move in the solar system. He proposed three laws. As a summary, he described that the planets move around the sun in the shape of an ellipse (orbit), and the Sun being one of the foci. Then, he proposed the period for the planet to complete one revolution around the Sun. 

On the other hand, Newton studied the forces acting on the planet (or any object in space) that explain how the planets move around the solar system as described by Kepler. Also, Kepler's observations only apply to planets and not the moons or satellites. Thus, Kepler only made laws from observations, while Newton based it from underlying principles that led him to mathematical equations such as the law of universal gravitation.

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between thermal energy and particle movement?
Hunter-Best [27]

As thermal energy increases and there is more particle movement.

  • Thermal energy is the energy possessed by the system or object due to the movement of its particles.
  • For example kinetic energy of the particles
  • Higher the motion of the particles more will be the thermal energy of the system or object and vice-versa
  • It is also termed as heat energy of a system or object
  • The higher the thermal energy, the higher will be the temperature and vice versa.

So, from this, we can conclude that as thermal energy increases and there is more particle movement.
