Write a hypothesis about how the number of half-lives affects the number of radioactive atoms. Use the "if . . . then . . . beca

use . . ." format and be sure to answer the lesson question: "How does the number of radioactive atoms change over time?"
answer- If the number of half-lives increases, then the number of radioactive atoms decreases, because approximately half of the atoms' nuclei decay with each half-life.

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

The half life is the time taken for half of a radioactive substance to disintegrate.

The shorter the half life, the larger the decay constant and the faster the decay process.

For a very large half life, it would take a very long time for the radioactive nuclide to decay to half.

With each half life reached, a new set of daughter cell is formed. Atoms that have short half life would decay rapidly. Every radionuclide has its own characteristic half-life.

If the number of half-lives increases, then the number of radioactive atoms decreases, because approximately half of the atoms' nuclei decay with each half-life. With this observation, we can hypothesise and conduct experiment to support the assertion that as the number of half-lives increases then the number of radioactive atoms decreases.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

1. 13..6 grams per centimeters cubed.

2. Mass = 400kg

3. Volume = 200cm = 2m

Explanation:

1. The conversion for kg/m^3 to g/cm^3 is divide by 1000.

2. density=\frac{mass}{volume}

1000=\frac{mass}{2 * 1 * 0.2}

1000*0.4=mass

400kg = mass

3. density=\frac{mass}{volume}

0.6=\frac{120}{volume}

volume=\frac{120}{0.6}

volume= 200cm
