The half life of Carbon-14 is 5730 years, how many years would it take for 7/8 of the original amount to decay?
<span>Can somebody please help with this problem. I *think* I understand the basics of what a half life is. If I learned correctly, its the amount it takes for half of a sample to decay. It should also happen exponentially, 1/2 remaining after one half life, 1/4 after the second, 1/16 after the third etc. I'm still a little shaky though. Could somebody please clarify what exactly a half life is and how it can be determined (i.e. how to find the time it would take for 7/8 to decay) </span>
Answer:
The balloon prohibits the flow of air through the air capacitor.
Explanation:
Just like an electric capacitor has an insulator between the plates, the air capacitor has a balloon between the chambers.
Laws and theories are similar in that they are both scientific statements that result from a tested hypothesis and are supported by scientific evidence.

Recall the equation for magnetic force:
F = qv x B *x is cross product, not separate variable!
If the magnetic field points towards N and you throw E, then the magnetic force would point up, or out of the page. Use the right-hand rule. You point your finger towards the direction of the object, and curl your finger to the magnetic field. Your thumb is the direction of the magnetic force.
Hope this helps!
