What you need to do is find 1/8 of 50
you can just divide 50 by 8 to get 6.25
so now you have to find how many days it will take till there are 6.25 grams of iodine left
every 8.1 days its mass is split in half 
so start splitting it in half and every time you do, you add 8.1 days
50/2 =25                                               8.1
25/2 =12.5                                        +  8.1
12.5/2= 6.25                                      +8.1
now you have reached 1/8 of the original amount of Iodine-131
so to find how long it took just add 8.1+8.1+8.1
(this is the same as 8.1x3)
which equals 24.3
it will take 24.3 days for Iodine 131 to decay to 1/8  of its original mass.

(good luck on the regent if thats what your studying for :)

It doesn't matter what the original mass is. 1/8 is (1/2)-cubed, and 3 half-lives is 8.3 days.

Andrews [41]

Answer:

force = 3000N

mass= 20 kg

now

F= ma

3000= 20×a

3000÷20=a

a=15

F= ma by newtons second law of motion

Answer:

less than 5 centimeters because it is a nonvascular plant

Explanation:

Mosses are a group of plants under the division Bryophyta. They are said to be the most primitive plant life in existence as they lack true roots, stems and leaves. They also lack vascular system, hence, they are regarded as non-vascular plants. They usually grow in very small sizes (about 0.2 - 10cm).

According to this question, Penny bought a club moss plant for her water garden and needs to know how tall the plant will grow so she know how much space it will need. Since it is a miss plant that lacks vascular tissues i.e. nonvascular, it will likely grow less than 5 centimeters in height.
