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:
True
Explanation:
Modern safer and cheaper nuclear reactors can not only meet the range of our long term energy demands, they can also fight global warming.
Modern techniques provide ways to reduce radioactive waste amount. "A closed fuel cycle may be switched on for new kinds of nuclear plants. Alternatively, the waste is chemically dissuaded to transform the reusable element into fuel. This implies that nuclear waste would not be buried.
The gas that gives Neptune and Uranus its amazing blue color is methane
Explanation:
u=166m/s, v=0(at it's highest point final velocity is zero), a=9.8m/s², t=8.6s
by the formula, S=ut+½at².
S=[166×8.6+½.×9.8×(8.6)²]. ...by calculation
S = 1427.6+362.404
S=1790.004m
hope this helps you.
