Answer:
The current amount of the Potassium-40 sample is approximately 37.521 grams.
Explanation:
The amount of the sample of the radioactive isotope decays exponentially in time, the amount of mass of the sample as a function of time (
), in grams, is described below:
(1)
Where:
- Initial mass, in grams.
- Time, in years.
- Time constant, in years.
The time constant can be found from half life (
), in years, described in statement:
(2)
If we know that
,
and
, then the current amount of the sample is:




The current amount of the Potassium-40 sample is approximately 37.521 grams.
Soil formation involves both C) chemical weathering and erosion of rocks.
A city that has a problem with smog is most likely a MDC and is experiencing it due to heavy air pollution. <span />
"1. moisture (water vapor) in the air near the surface
2. instability - relatively large decrease of air temperature with height
3. lift - some process (such as a front) that forces air to rise"
The air is dry during the summer and any moisture amount is increased in the afternoon as the temperature cools.
Answer:
40
Explanation:
32 divided by 4 is 8, so just multiply that by 5 since that's the girls ratio and you get 40
