The half life of Carbon-14 is 5730 years, how many years would it take for 7/8 of the original amount to decay?
<span>Can somebody please help with this problem. I *think* I understand the basics of what a half life is. If I learned correctly, its the amount it takes for half of a sample to decay. It should also happen exponentially, 1/2 remaining after one half life, 1/4 after the second, 1/16 after the third etc. I'm still a little shaky though. Could somebody please clarify what exactly a half life is and how it can be determined (i.e. how to find the time it would take for 7/8 to decay) </span>
Answer:
It's will fly like float
Explanation:
Since in space there is no gravity that everything can float
Answer:
Velocity of airplane is 500 km/h
Velocity of wind is 40 km/h
Explanation:
= Velocity of airplane in still air
= Velocity of wind
Time taken by plane to travel 1150 km against the wind is 2.5 hours

Time taken by plane to travel 450 km against the wind is 50 minutes = 50/60 hours

Subtracting the two equations we get

Applying the value of velocity of wind to the first equation

∴ Velocity of airplane in still air is 500 km/h and Velocity of wind is 40 km/h
