The half-life of potassium-40 is 1.25 billion years since half of the original sample decays in that time. With 50 atoms initially, having 25 atoms remaining after 1.25 billion years aligns with the expected decay pattern for a half-life.
At 2.7 days, half of the 800 atoms (400 atoms) would have decayed. At 8.1 days, three half-lives have passed, so only ( \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8} ) of the original sample remains. Therefore, there are 100 atoms of Au-198 remaining in the sample after 8.1 days.
The sunset time is when the sun starts to go below the horizon, marking the end of the day.
One example of a force that starts with the letter "p" is the force of propulsion, which is the driving force that moves an object forward.
If an object starts to accelerate, it is called gaining speed or increasing its velocity. Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.
Pandemonium is a synonym for noise. It means wild disorder and utter chaos.
1.25 billion years
The half-life is 700 million years !
billion
700 milliion years. The definition of half-life is the period of time during which one-half of the atoms of an element undergo decay into other elements.
billion
Something that is a billion starts off with 109. Then, 2.7 billion in scientific notation is 2.7 x 109.
4.5 billion years ago.
There will be 125 atoms of Na24 remaining in the sample after 45 hours. This calculation is based on the fact that after 3 half-lives (45 hours/15 hours per half-life), the original 1000 atoms would have reduced by a factor of 2 three times, resulting in 1000/2/2/2 = 125 atoms remaining.
1.25 billion years: 25/50 or half the original atoms have disintegrated in 1.25 billion years, and that is the definition of half life.
RIDGE
Something that is a billion starts with base 109. Therefore, the term in scientific notation is 7.0 x109
