You have a rock sample and analyze it for the presence of radioactive isotopes in order to determine when it was formed. You fin
d an isotope that has a half-life of 100 million years. After you analyze it, you determine that it has equal amounts of radioactive parent isotope and stable daughter product. A. How many half lives have gone by.
B. How old is it?
The cheetah's speed is 100x and
The gazelle's speed is 80x + 70.
Set the two equations equal to each other:
100x = 80x +70 (then subtract 80x from both sides).
20x = 70 (then divide by 20).
X =3.5.
The cheetah catches the gazelle after 3.5
For a charge concentrated nearly at a point, the electric field is directly proportional to the amount of charge; it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance radially away from the centre of the source charge and depends also upon the nature of the medium.
