What is the rate of decay of a radioactive element is measured by?
By Becquerels, which is one disintegration per second, or by curies, which is 3.3x1010 disintegrations per second.
Why do you think chemistry will not change the decay rate of an isotope?
It depends what is meant by 'decay'. It will not alter the atomic decay rate but elements can be chemically affected by the environment which can chemically decay them.
What is the decay rate of heart cells?
the decay rate of carbon is 14 in heart muscle cells,
What term used to describe rate of radioactive isotopes?
Half-life (in units of time).Half-Life is the rate of radioactive decay, measured in time. The half life gives the time it take for half of the radioactive atoms in a system to decay. Fore example, if you have 10 grams of carbon-14, it will take 5730 years for half of it to decay, giving you 5 grams. In another 5730 years, you'll have 2.5 grams left, etc...Isotopes decay at an exponential rate. A half-life is the time that half of the population of an isotope will decay. The measure is a statistical probability and is more accurate when a large population is observed. The term half-life is applied to describe a property of a given isotope (i.e. the half-life of Carbon 14 is 5730).half life
As the temperature of a radioactive sample increases the rate of the nuclear decay?
It stays the same. Temperature has no effect on the rate of nuclear decay.

How are exchange rate movements measured?
The exchange rate movement is measured using the various disparity of the given currency. The time aspect is usually one of the parameters used.

What makes radioisotopes useful for dating objects?
They decay at a predictable rate.

How is haptoglobin measured in rate nephelometry?
serum is mixed with a substance that will bind to haptoglobin. The amount of bound haptoglobin is measured using a rate nephelometer, which measures the amount of light scattered by the bound haptoglobin
Can paper decay?
Yes, but the rate of decay depends on the conditions.
What is the Rate at which force is applied?
I think what you are looking for is "torque" which can be measured using Newton metres (Nm)
As the temperature of a radioactive sample increases the rate of the nuclear decay?
It stays the same. Temperature has no effect on the rate of nuclear decay.
How do you calculate half-life?
Check the time between your first decay rate and when the decay rate reaches half this number. Half life T1/2 is calculated using the below formula T1/2=0.6931/r Where r is disintegration constant
How the radioactive decay rate be changed?
The rate cannot be changed.
