If the half life of an isotope is 20 years, then half of the original amount will  remain after 20 years has passed.

That's what "half-life" means.

Similarly, after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\4 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\8 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\16 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\32 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\64 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\128 of the original amount remains.

A rock is rolling down a hill. At position 1, its velocity is 2.0 m/s. Twelve seconds later, as it passes position 2, its veloci
alukav5142 [94]
As this happens over twelve seconds, you would take the total difference in velocities and divide it by twelve to find the change per second

44.0 m/s - 2.0 m/s = 42.0 m/s 

42.0 m/s / 12 s = 3.5 m/s2

the acceleration of the rock would be 3.5 m/s2
