Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned with 10 micrograms of the radioactive substance Polonium-210. Since radioactive decay follows

a compounded continuously model, we can determine the amount of substance left in Alexander Litvinenko's body at any given time. If Polonium-210 has a decay rate of .502%, then determine the amount of Polonium-210 left in his body after 115 days. Provide 3 decimal places and a label in your answer.

Answer:

Left amount of Polonium-210 after 115 days will be 4.5927 microgram

Explanation:

We have given initial mass of Polonium-210 N_0=10microgram

Decay rate x= 0.502% = 0.00502

Time t = 115 days

We have to find the left amount of Polonium -210 after 115 days

We know that left amount is given by

N=N_0e^{-xt}=10e^{-0.00502\times 115}=4.5927microgram

So left amount of Polonium-210 after 115 days will be 4.5927 microgram

The most logical answer that I can think from Darwin's Theory of Evolution is that that species had been isolated from other possible panthers to mate with. So after generations of that isolated group of panthers their offspring would eventually become increasingly similar.

<span>When practicing birth control as natural family planning, it is not true that it is almost 100 percent effective. Birth control as natural family planning does require careful tracking of the menstrual cycle, demands focus on bodily changes, and does require women from having sex on days ovulating and following. Even if sex is is had outside ovulating days, it is possible to get pregnant, thus it is not 100 percent effective.</span>
