How do you determine the half life of a radioactive substance that has changed through radioactive decay After 40 days the original substance left is is one sixteenth of the original amount?
the halflife is 10 days
Does uranium 238 have the shortest half life?
The half life of 238U is 4,468.109 years; this is a very long halflife !
What are ways you can turn uranium into energy that we can use?
Most uranium is U-238, with has a very long halflife. Bombard it with neutrons (fast breeder reactor) to make plutonium-239, which is a suitable fuel for a fission reactor. Lift it up high, and tie a rope to it. As it falls, have it drive a generator. Same scenario, only drop it into a black hole... get lots more energy.
After a nuclear bomb is droped how long does the after affects stay for?
That varies, but as most radioisotopes produced in a typical nuclear blast are short halflife, the area is likely to be safe to reoccupy in a few weeks to months. It gets more complex to predict with many blasts (especially high fallout surface bursts). Radiological surveys should be taken first to identify any radioactive hotspots so they can be marked off as hazard zones.
Why only half quantity of atoms undergo decay?
nuclear decay is a simple random process, the more of something there is the more of it will decay if the probability of decay is constant (which it is).the simplest way to quantify this is halflife, as you mention. but there is nothing special about halves, it can also be specified by the decay constant k that appears in the exponential decay function: n = n0 e-kt where n0 is initial quantity, n is current quantity, and t is time since initial time. or you could choose to specify it in thirdlife, quarterlife, fifthlife, hexadecilife, centlife, or whatever... but nobody else does.

What is the correct order of nuclear decay mode for the changes from U-238 to U-234?
U-238 --> alpha + gamma + Th-234, halflife 4.51E9 yearsTh-234 --> beta- + gamma + Pa-234, halflife 24.10 daysPa-234 --> beta- + gamma + U-234, halflife 6.66 hours
