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.
Answer:
crust- the earth's outmost layer
inner core- the metallic layer at the earth's center
lower mantle- hottest part of the mantle
asthenosphere- the semi solid layer between the top layer and the upper mantle
upper mantle- The layer between the asthenosphere and lower mantle
top layer- The firm layer between the crust and the asthenosphere
outer core- The layer surrounding the inner core
Explanation:
Answer:
Point A could be any number that is lower than point B.
Explanation:
Since A is to the left on a number line it is lower then the number to the right (point B)
Some examples of numbers are A=2 and B=6
Explanation:
over it thats the correct answee
B is correct because the others are wrong, c is wrong because the reason they have varying states of matter is because pressure and a is wrong because mantle
