We can calculate how long the decay by using the half-life equation. It is expressed as:
A = Ao e^-kt
<span>where A is the amount left at t years, Ao is the initial concentration, and k is a constant.
</span><span>From the half-life data, we can calculate for k.
</span>
1/2(Ao) = Ao e^-k(30)
<span>k = 0.023
</span>
0.04Ao = Ao e^0.023(t)
<span>t = 140 sec</span>
Tips
- write cue cards on respiratory system
- get someone to test you on your notes (friend,Mum,sister,brother ect)
- copy down diagrams of the system
- get someone to test you on Digram
- play online interactive games to test your knowledge on the respiratory system
- go through your textbook write a checklist things you know things you need to improve on.
- watch YouTube clips on the respiratory system
In your hand, the ball has higher potential energy than kinetic because it is still off of the ground but it isn't moving so there is no kinetic. As the ball rises, its potential and kinetic energy increases. At its peak, it has very high potential energy and very low kinetic energy. As it falls, the potential energy decreases but kinetic does not.
