How has the invention of GPS and the internet made finding a location using coordinates easier and more reliable?

<em>Before, GPS and digital maps are available to military users. Apparently, due to some problems that needs solution with the help of finding locations, getting to the destination easier because you have to find someone or you have to same some lives at stake, GPS became available to common people. GPS or simply known as Global Positioning Satellites uses signals in outer space (by satellites) to navigate or see the whole map or location of a place. The coverage of GPS is the whole planet (Earth). There will be at least 24 satellites need to work together to flash or show the map with almost complete labels and picture. GPS also supports 3D views.  </em>

<em>Finding places becomes easier. Since the scope of GPS is the whole planet, you can browse wider pictures and places that you never visited. The means of data transfer is also fast compared to any maps. And as long as you have a device or connection, you can have access to GPS right away. It is also reliable because you can ensure updated information and map details are all you can get. Not to mention, GPS maps are always accurate and fast.</em>

If the half life for strontium-90 is approximately 28 years, then what is the whole life for strontium-90?
sveta [45]
Set this up as

10 = 40 (1/2)t/28

and solve for t in years.

10/40 = (1/2)t/28

log(0.25) = (t/28) log(0.5)

t = 28 log(0.25) / log(0.5) years = 56 years

Test the answer:

56 years = 2(28 years) = 2 half-lives, so the remaining amount should be 1/2 of 1/2 of the initial amount, i.e. 1/4 of the initial amount, and 10 mg = 1/4 of 40 mg.

The isotope silicon 32 decays into phosphorus 32. Silicon 32 has a half-life of 170 years and can be used to find the age of roc
eduard

Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

B. In a given rock sample, the amount of Silicon-32 isotopes gets divided in half about every 170yrs.

This is the concept of half-life. Half life is the time take for half of a radioactive isotope to disintegrate. The shorter the half life the faster the isotope disintegrates.

From the question, we were told that it would take 170yrs for half of the isotope of Silicon to disintegrate to Phosphorus. This is the half life.

C. The half life can be used to determine the amount of Si-32 that has decayed from the time closure temperature was reached.

The closure temperature is very important in radioactivity. It is the temperature at which a system has cooled and there is no resulting disintegration of parent and daughter isotopes.

From first order kinetics, we know that the rate at which radioactive elements decay at any time is directly proportional to the number of radioactive atoms present. A knowledge of the half life helps to figure out the number of atoms that has decayed in time.
