Answer:
t=1.4hours
Explanation:
The half life is 1hour
At t=0 he has a mass of 4kg
So he want it to be 1kg, so that his weapon can work.
Applying the exponential function of decay
M=Cexp(-kt)
Where,
M is the mass at any time
C is a constant of integration
k is the rate of decay
Given that it has an half life of 1 hours.
Then k is 1
At t =0 the mass is 4kg
Therefore
4=Cexp(0)
C=4
M=4exp(-kt)
Since rate of decay is 1, then k=1
M=4exp(-t)
We need to find t at M=1kg
1=4exp(-t)
1=4exp(-t)
1/4=exp(-t)
0.25=exp(-t)
Take In of both sides
In(0.25)=-t
-1.3863=-t
Then, t=1.386hour
Then it will take about 1.4 hours to get to 1kg.
This answer is the same for all elements, a single atom of any element is still that element.
Muttered is the same thing like mumble.
It's like when you are speaking and no one couldn't hear what you said.
So Muttered is when you say something low .
The tectonic plates are made up of Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere. hope this helps :)
