An investigator collects a sample of a radioactive isotope with an activity of 490,000 Bq.48 hours later, the activity is 110,00
Daniel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is "22.27 hours".

Explanation:

Given that:

Radioactive isotope activity,

= 490,000 Bq

Activity,

= 110,000 Bq

Time,

= 48 hours

As we know,

⇒ A = A_0 e^{- \lambda t}

or,

⇒ \frac{A}{A_0}=e^{-\lambda t}

By taking "ln", we get

⇒ ln \frac{A}{A_0}=- \lambda t

By substituting the values, we get

⇒ -ln \frac{110000}{490000} = -48 \lambda

⇒    -1.4939=-48 \lambda

                 \lambda = 0.031122

As,

⇒ \lambda = \frac{ln_2}{\frac{T}{2} }

then,

⇒ \frac{ln_2}{T_ \frac{1}{2} } =0.031122

⇒ T_\frac{1}{2}=\frac{ln_2}{0.031122}

         =22.27 \ hours

What are the differences between a magnetic and gravitational interaction
GREYUIT [131]
Classically, gravitational attraction is due to the masses of objects. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distances between the objects.

Magnetic attraction is due to the magnetism in objects which is due to uncompensated electron spins in certain atoms.  The force due to magnetism less easy to put into one equation than gravity since magnetic fields can have different shapes, but the simplest one (the dipolar field) is inversely proportional to the cube of the distance between the magnetic dipoles.
