Carbon–14 is a radioactive isotope that decays exponentially at a rate of 0.0124 percent a year. How many years will it take for

carbon–14 to decay to 10 percent of its original amount? The equation for exponential decay is At = A0e–rt.

A(t) = Ao*e^(-rt)

-rt = ln [ A(t)/ Ao]

t = - ln [ A(t)/ Ao] / r

r= 0.0124% = 0.0124/100 = 0.000124

A(t)/A0 = 10% = 10/100 = 0.1

Now substitute

t = - ln [0.1] / 0.000124 = 2.3025851 / 0.000124 = 18,569 years

Your result will depend on how you round ln(0.1).

If 3(r+300)=6, then what would be the value of r+300-2?
saveliy_v [14]

Solve for r in the first equation:

3(r+300) = 6

Use the distributive property:

3r + 900 = 6

Subtract 900 from both sides:

3r = -894

Divide both sides by 3:

r = -894 / 3

r = -298

Now you have r, replace r in the second equation and solve:

r +300 -2 =

-298 + 300 - 2 = 0

The answer is 0.

Sally finds a coin with a radius of 1.5 centimeters and a thickness of 0.25 cm. It has a measured mass of 18.54 grams. How can S
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Silver

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the volume of the coin

<u>Volume of a cylinder</u>

\textsf{V}=\sf \pi r^2 h \quad\textsf{(where r is the radius and h is the height)}

Given:

  • r = 1.5 cm
  • h = 0.25 cm

Substituting given values into the formula to find the volume:

\sf \implies V=\pi (1.5)^2(0.25)

\sf \implies V=0.5625 \pi \:cm^3

Find the density of the coin given it has a measured mass of 18.54 g

<u>Density formula</u>

\sf \rho=\dfrac{m}{V}

where:

  • \rho = density
  • m = mass
  • V = volume

Given:

  • m = 18.54 g
  • \sf V=0.5625 \pi \:cm^3

Substituting given values into the density formula:

\implies \sf \rho=\dfrac{18.54}{0.5625 \pi}

\implies \sf \rho=10.49149385\:g\:cm^{-3}

Given:

  • \textsf{Density of Lead}=\sf 11.3\:g\:cm^{-3}
  • \textsf{Density of Silver}=\sf 10.49\:g\:cm^{-3}

Therefore, as \sf \rho=10.49\:g\:cm^{-3} the coin is made from silver.
