Phosphorus-32 (32P) is an isotope that is commonly used for medical and biological research. Phosphorus-32 has a half-life of 14

.28 days. A researcher orders a sample of 32P that has an activity of 5.0 mCi when it arrives. If delivery of the sample took 48 hours, what was the activity of the sample when it was shipped from the manufacturer

The activity of the sample when it was shipped from the manufacturer is 4.54 mCi

<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives that has elapsed </h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Time (t) = 48 hours
  • Half-life (t½) = 14.28 days = 14.28 × 24 = 342.72 hours
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 48 / 342.72

n = 0.14

<h3>How to determine the activity of the sample during shipping </h3>
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 0.14
  • Original activity (N₀) = 5.0 mCi
  • Activity remaining (N) =?

N = N₀ / 2ⁿ

N = 5 / 2^0.14

N = 4.54 mCi

Thus, the activity of the sample during shipping is 4.54 mCi

What factor affects both kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of an object is also measured in joules. Anything that is moving has kinetic energy, but various factors affect how much kinetic energy an object has. The first factor is speed. If two identical objects are moving at different speeds, the faster object has more kinetic energy.  In physics, the kinetic energy  of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.
