Explanation:
Make an observation
ask a question
form a hyposisese
make a prediction
test the prediction
use the results to fix the prediction and hypotheses
Answer:
D. All of the above
Explanation:
E = MC² is a common equation in physics.
E is energy
M is mass
C is the speed of light
The law was stated by Albert Einstein.
- From this law, it was shown that energy is released when matter is destroyed.
- Mass and energy are equivalent as seen in nuclear reactions where mass is converted to energy.
- Mass and energy is usually conserved in any process and this is a subtle modification of the law of conservation of matter and energy.
- Most of these postulates apply to nuclear reactions which generally do not follow some precepts of chemical laws.
The general equation for radioactive decay is;
N = N₀e^(-λt)
x - decay constant (λ) - rate of decay
t- time
N - amount remaining after t days , since we are calculating the half life, amount of time it takes for the substance to to be half its original value, its N₀/2
N₀ - amount initially present
substituting the values
N₀/2 = N₀e^(-0.081t)
0.5 = e^(-0.081t)
ln (0.5) = -0.081t
-0.693 = -0.081t
t = 0.693 / 0.081
= 8.55
half life of substance is 8.55 days
The best answer is the isotope of strontium which is strontium-85. It has a half-life of about 64 days. The metal strontioum has four stable, naturally occurring isotopes which includes 84Sr (0.56%), 86Sr (9.86%), 87Sr (7.0%) and 88Sr (82.58%).
