∙ 6y agoThree half lives have elapsed. This can be determined by calculating how many times the original sample size must be halved to get to one eighth: (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/8.
To calculate the amount of a radioactive element compared to its original amount, you need to use the radioactive decay equation: A = A₀ * e^(-λt), where A is the final amount, A₀ is the initial amount, λ is the decay constant, and t is the time elapsed. By plugging in the values for A₀, t, and λ, you can determine the final amount of the radioactive element.
After 6.4 seconds, there would be 0.3g of the original sample of Astatine-218 remaining unchanged. This is calculated by dividing the time elapsed by the half-life to determine the number of half-lives passed (6.4 s ÷ 1.6 s = 4 half-lives), then using this to calculate the remaining amount (1.2 g ÷ 2^4 = 0.3 g).
Three half-lives have elapsed. This is because each half-life reduces the amount to half of its original value. So, after one half-life, the amount is reduced to 50%, then to 25% after two half-lives, and 12.5% after three half-lives, which is closest to 3.125%.
No, the velocity of an object is not always proportional to elapsed time. Velocity is defined as the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time, so it can vary depending on factors like acceleration, deceleration, or changes in direction.
The time elapsed before the ball reached its maximum height is half of the total time it takes to go up and come back down. This is because the ball reaches its maximum height at the halfway point of its vertical motion.
1/4. After 27 days, half of the material will have decayed. After another 27 days half of the remaining material will have decayed. Half of half is 1/4.
The answer depends on the rate of decay and the elapsed time.

In one cycle, the material would be reduced to one half of the original, leaving one half of the material. In the second cycle (54/27 = 2), there would be 1/2 of that half, leaving 1/4 of the original material.
The mass of a radioactive isotope remains constant as it decays. However, the atomic nucleus can change due to the emissions of particles or energy, which can result in the isotope transforming into a different element.
This depends on the type of material. Uranium-238's half-life is 4,438,000,000 years. But the half-life of a material such as Radon-218 is only 35 ms. There is a great range of half-lives for a wide variety of isotopes, so it is impossible to generalize. If you're asking what a half-life is, it is the amount of time it takes for half of any quantity of a radioactive isotope to decay. So if you had a 10g pile of Uranium-238, after 4,438,000,000 years, only 5g of it would still be Uranium-238. The other half would've decayed.
In this folder, you get the newest stuff. Original meaning: zero day elapsed since the stuff released, but it's on the net.
Elapsed means: to slip or pass by: Thirty minutes elapsed before the performance began
What does elapsed time meen?
No - in the four hours that have elapsed, they will have moved 60 degrees across the sky.
Elapsed time11:45pm to 3:30 am
time elapsed=final time taken - initial time taken
