Answer:

There is 54.29 % sample left after 12.6 days

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Half life time = 14.3 days

Time left = 12.6 days

Suppose the original amount is 100.00 grams

Step 2: Calculate the percentage left

X = 100 / 2^n

⇒ with X = The amount of sample after 12.6 days

⇒ with n = (time passed / half-life time) = (12.6/14.3)

X = 100 / 2^(12.6/14.3)

X = 54.29

There is 54.29 % sample left after 12.6 days

A ball is thrown in the air. The ball goes up, then changes direction and falls down. Why does the ball fall down?
Delicious77 [7]

So the acceleration has actually slowed down the ball because it was going in the direction opposite the velocity. Now see what happens as the ball falls back down to Earth. The ball has zero velocity, but the acceleration due to gravity accelerates the ball downward at a rate of –9.8 m/s2.
