Answer:

Option C, 5 gram

Explanation:

The half life of Cobalt-60 = 5 years

Given -

Sample of Cobalt-60 = 20 gram

Time of radioactive decay = 10 years

At the initial stage, when time T = 0 years, the mass of Cobalt-60 = 20 grams

when time T = 5 years, the mass of Cobalt-60

= \frac{20}{2}\\ = 10 grams

when time T = 10 years, the mass of Cobalt-60

= \frac{10}{2}\\ = 5 grams

Hence, option C is correct.

I believe it would be 5g, because after 5 years, that 20 grams would be down to 10 (reduced by half). With the remaining 10 grams, you would take half of that 10 to find how much remains after another half life goes by. I hope this helps you!

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The subject definition has always been listed in the overview section elsewhere here.

Explanation:

Something you are attempting to calculate is a variable. It can be something, such as things, quantities of time, emotions, actions, or thoughts. If you're researching how people here feel regarding specific tv programs, television shows as well as emotions are the factors throughout the analysis. If you are learning how various forms of fertilizer influence how tall plants develop, fertilizer form and plant height seem to be the variables.

<u>Independent Variable</u>

  • The independent variable seems to be the variable whom the adjustment is not influenced throughout the analysis by every other variable. Usually, the researcher herself needs to modify the independent variable or it adjusts by itself because nothing influences or adjusts this one in the project.

<u>Dependent Variable</u>

  • Throughout the analysis, the dependent variable that's what's being examined but instead evaluated. As something of a consequence of the modifications to something like the independent variable, that's what modifications.
