Half life formula
The number of unstable nuclei remaining after time t can be determined according to this equation:
N(t) = N(0) * 0.5^(t/T)
where:
N(t) is the remaining quantity of a substance after time t has elapsed.
N(0) is the initial quantity of this substance.
T is the half-life.
It is also possible to determine the remaining quantity of a substance using a few other parameters:
N(t) = N(0) * e^(-t/τ)
N(t) = N(0) * e^(-λt)
τ is the mean lifetime - the average amount of time a nucleus remains intact.
λ is the decay constant (rate of decay).
All three of the parameters characterizing a substance's radioactivity are related in the following way:
T = ln(2)/λ = ln(2)*τ
How to calculate the half life
Determine the initial amount of a substance. For example, N(0) = 2.5 kg.
Determine the final amount of a substance - for instance, N(t) = 2.1 kg.
Measure how long it took for that amount of material to decay. In our experiment, we observed that it took 5 minutes.
Input these values into our half life calculator. It will compute a result for you instantaneously - in this case, the half life is equal to 19.88 minutes.
If you are not certain that our calculator returned the correct result, you can always check it using the half life formula.
Answer:
Potential energy is gaining all the way to the top of the hill due to the increase of height (gravitational pull) on the skateboarder. At the top of the hill potential energy will reach its highest point. Then going down kinetic energy increases as potential energy decreases.
Explanation:
When cells start to swell up with water, Osmosis takes place.
Answer:
Substitution
Explanation:
Given the information in the question substitution seems like the most appropriate answer. Zoe used 1 cup of slat rather than 1 cup of sugar, she substituted sugar for salt.
Insertion is wrong because Zoe did not add another ingredient, there is still only 2 ingredients.
Transition is wrong because, given the information, because the state(liquid or solid) of the ingredients has not changed. Zoe is still use dry ingredients per say.
And beneficial also seems to be wrong because we don't know if using salt instead was beneficial to the recipe or to Zoe.
Hope this helps (:
