In the late nineteenth century, the scientist Marie Curie performed experiments that led to the discovery of radioactive substan

ces. A radioactive substance is a substance that gives off radiation as it decays. Scientists describe the rate at which a radioactive substance decays as its half-life. The half-life of a substance is the amount of time it takes for one-half of the substance to decay. Radium has a half-life of 1600 years. How much radium will be left from a 1000-gram sample after 1600 years?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Half life is the time taken by a radioactive substance to reduce of half of its original size

If the half life of radium is 1600, this means that the original radioactive substance N0 have reduced to N0/2 after 1600 years

if we are given N0 = 1000grams

The amount of the substance that will remain after 1600 years will be N0/2 i.e 1000/2 = 500g

<em>Hence 500 grams of radium will be left after 600years</em>

A delivery truck is transporting boxes of two sizes: large and small. The large boxes weigh 50 pounds each, and the small boxes
skad [1K]
So this is how we are going to solve for the given problem above.
Given that x = number of large boxes
and 120-x = number of small boxes.
So here is the solution:
50x + (120-x)20 = 4050
50x + 2400 - 20x = 4050
30x + 2400 = 4050
30x = 4050 - 2400
30x = 1650 <<divide both sides by 30
x = 55.
Therefore, there are 55 large boxes
120 - x = small boxes
120 - 55 = 65 small boxes.
Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
