The amount of substance left of a radioactive element of half life,
after a time, t, is given by:
Given that <span>potassium-40 has a half life of approximately 1.25 billion
years.
The number of years it will take for 0.1% of potassium-40 to remain is obtained as follows:
Therefore, </span><span>the maximum age of a fossil that we could date using 40k is
12.5 billion years.</span>
Answer:
Population in 2100 is 17.99 billion.
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of the world in 2020 = 7.8 billion.
The growth rate = 1.05%
Now find the population after 2100. Use the below formula to find the population.
Population in 2100 = Population of 2020 (1 + growth rate)^n
Population in 2100 = 7.8 (1 + 0.0105)^80
Population in 2100 = 17.99 billions.
Now, find the growth rate in 2100.
dN/dt = [r N (K – N) ] / K
r = Malthusian parameter
K = carrying capacity.
Now divide both sides by K, now x = N/K then do the differential equation.
dx/dt = r x ( 1- x)
Now integrate, x(t) = 1/ [ 1 + (1/x – 1) c^-rt
From the first equation = dN/dt = (13 – 7.8) / 80 = (r × 7.8×(13 – 7.8) / 12
0.065 = (r × 7.8× 5.2) / 12
0.065 = r × 3.38
r = 1.92%
It is easier to add 50 to a number than 48 because 50 has a zero in it which makes an addition simpler.
48 + 34 = borrow 2 from 34 and add to 48
= 50 + 32 50 + 32 is 82
= 82
