Half life formula
The number of unstable nuclei remaining after time t can be determined according to this equation:
N(t) = N(0) * 0.5^(t/T)
where:
N(t) is the remaining quantity of a substance after time t has elapsed.
N(0) is the initial quantity of this substance.
T is the half-life.
It is also possible to determine the remaining quantity of a substance using a few other parameters:
N(t) = N(0) * e^(-t/τ)
N(t) = N(0) * e^(-λt)
τ is the mean lifetime - the average amount of time a nucleus remains intact.
λ is the decay constant (rate of decay).
All three of the parameters characterizing a substance's radioactivity are related in the following way:
T = ln(2)/λ = ln(2)*τ
How to calculate the half life
Determine the initial amount of a substance. For example, N(0) = 2.5 kg.
Determine the final amount of a substance - for instance, N(t) = 2.1 kg.
Measure how long it took for that amount of material to decay. In our experiment, we observed that it took 5 minutes.
Input these values into our half life calculator. It will compute a result for you instantaneously - in this case, the half life is equal to 19.88 minutes.
If you are not certain that our calculator returned the correct result, you can always check it using the half life formula.
The hormone produced by the placenta that stimulates the ovaries to continue producing estrogen and progesterone is called the follicle stimulating hormone. This hormone stimulates the ovarian follicle allowing the egg to grow thus producing continuous supply of estrogen and progesterone.
Answer:True because air need to enter the lungs
Through crossing over during meiosis. In eukaryotic cells (us), there are these things called Histone proteins. TONS of these wrap around and form what eventually will be a chromosome in the nucleus of the cell. These chromosomes contain genes which contain genetic information in the form of DNA. If a trait is sex linked it will pass through to the offspring by meiosis, specifically during crossing over when homologous chromosomes exchange genetic information.
Levels of organization in ecology include the population, community , ecosystem, and biosphere.
