If a radioactive isotope has a half-life of 6 hours and 12 milligrams is initially present, how much will

Mathematics
1 answer:
Serhud [2]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:0.75 milligrams will  be present in 24 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

The formula for radioactive decay can be written as

N(t)=No (1/2)^(t/t 1/2)

where

No= The amount of the radioactive substance at time=0=milligrams

t 1/2= the half-life= 6 hours

t=24 hours

N(t) = the amount at time t

Step 2--- Solving

N(t)=No (1/2)^(t/t 1/2)

=N(t)=12 x ( 1/2) ^ (24/6)

= 12 x (1/2) ^4

= 12 x 0.0625

= 0.75 milligrams

Suppose you know that ∠s and ∠y are complementary, and that m∠s = 4(m∠y) − 110°. find m∠y. solution
Paul [167]
∠s + ∠y are complementary
∴ ∠s + ∠y = 90°

∠s = 4(∠y ) -100

s + y = 90
4y - 100 + y = 90
5y = 90 + 100
5y = 190
y = 38


Ans: y = 38°

A board is 60 centimeters long Kelly cut the board into two pieces with 14 centimeters longer than the other find the longer pie
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

44 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

So, it is asking what the bigger piece of the 60 cm board is. First you can divide it into two even pieces. That makes each piece 30 cm. but, it wants one of the two 14 cm bigger, right? So, now your going to add 14 cm to 30 cm, giving you 44 cm. But, if you do that then you will have to subtract 14 cm from the other board. That leaves you with the bigger board is 44 cm, and the smaller one is 16 cm.
