The  number of  years  required  for 1/4  cobalt-60  to remain   after   decay  is calculated  as follows

  after  one  half life  1/2 of the original  mass isotope  remains

after  another half life 1/4  mass  of  original  mass  remains

therefore  if one  half  life is  5.3   years  then  the  years required

= 2  x 5.3years =  10.6   years

A lake has been infected by some type of new algae that is unknown. Every single day the amount of surface area that the algae t
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

It takes 86 days take to cover half of the lake

Explanation:

In the day #1, the amount of the algae is X,

In the day #2 is 2X

In the day #3 is 2*2*X = X*2²

...

In the day #n the amount of the algae is X*2^(n-1)

Assuming X = 1m³. In the day 87, the area infected was:

1m³*2^(87-1)

7.74x10²⁵m³ is the total area of the lake

the half of this amount is 3.87x10²⁵m³

The time transcurred is:

3.87x10²⁵m³ = 1m³*2^(n-1)

Multiplying for 5 in each side:

ln (3.87x10²⁵) = ln (2^(n-1))

58.9175 = n-1 * 0.6931

85 = n-1

86 = n

<h3>It takes 86 days take to cover half of the lake</h3>
