It will take 42.9 days

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

General formulas used in decay:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t\frac{1}{2} }}}

T = duration of decay  

t 1/2 = half-life  

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms  

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time  

t1/2=14.3 days

Nt/No=1/8

\tt Nt=No(\dfrac{1}{2})^{T/t1/2}\\\\\dfrac{Nt}{No}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\(\dfrac{1}{2})^3=\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\3=T/14.3\rightarrow T=42.9~days

What is the electromagnetic spectrum? a p e x
givi [52]

Answer:

- the electromagnetic spectrum is the range of electromagnetic radiation, organized by how much energy the radiation carries. there is an opposite relationship between wavelength, frequency, and energy. as the wavelength of a wave increases, the frequency and energy decrease, and vice versa.

- the order from longest wavelength (lowest energy) to shortest wavelength (highest energy) is as follows: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, x-rays and gamma rays.

How does sediment form?
Andrews [41]
Sediment is solid material that is moved and deposited in a new location. Sediment can consist of rocks and minerals, as well as the remains of plants and animals. It can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a boulder. Sediment moves from one place to another through the process of erosion.

Which of the following natural resources cant be reused
ohaa [14]
Hi there! Air and sunlight can definitely be reused. Those are abundant and renewable resources. Therefore, A and D are eliminated. There is a limited amount of water, however, it's impossible to run out of it to the point that there's no more on Earth. C is out. The only answer choice that makes sense is coal, because it's a nonrenewable resource, and it takes millions of years to make more of. It's a fossil fuel, so once we use them up, we can't get anymore during our lives. The answer is B: coal.
