An unknown radioactive material is measured to have a half life of 3 months. When the material was first found, there was 2000mg. a) Write an equation that models the mass of the material, t months. b) Use your equation to determine the mass of material in 4 year c) Calculate around how many months it will take to have 750 mg left

OK!!.

N=N(½)ⁿ

n= Time/half life

N=Remaining Mass

N°=Initial Mass or Mass before decay.

t= time taken to decay(Its in Months in this case)

t½= Half Life of the Material. This is the time taken to decay to half its initial value.

N°= 2000mg

a).Equation that Models this is

since n=t/t½

N=N°(½)ⁿ =

N=N°(½)^t/t¹'². This should be your answer.

b). We're asked to find the remaining mass of substance in 4years.

t= 4years

Our Half life is in Months... So we gotta convert or time t from year to Months too.

4yrs === 4x12 = 48Months.

N° was given as 2000mg

N=N°(½)^t/t½

N= 2000(½)^48/3

N=2000(½)^16

Using your calc to evaluate (½)^16... Then multiply by 2000

N=0.0305mg will remain after 4years.

Or After 16Half Lives since 1 half life is 3months

c). We're looking for t this time

N=N°(½)^t/t½

Since it asked for 750mg to remain ... 750 is now our N --- Remaining Mass

750 = 2000(½)t/3

To Isolate "t" and make it the subject

750/2000 = (½)^t/3

0.375 = (½)^t/3

Taking ln(natural log) of both sides

Ln(0.375) = Ln(0.5)^t/3

From the rule of logarithm...

You can bring the power (I.e t/3) to the front

You'll have

Ln(0.375) = t/3Ln(0.5)

Dividing both sides by Ln(0.5) to isolate t

Ln(0.375)/Ln(0.5) = t/3

t/3 = 1.415

t= 3x1.415

t=4.25months.

Have a great day.

Hope this helps... I'm open to questions if you have any too.

answer: it is d

step-by-step explanation:

answer: yard ramps with a level off platform are typically 36 feet long. truck, rather than at an angle, enabling access to those pallets at the very back of the truck. if you are using your yard ramp to convert a loading dock into a drive-in door, we even at 60 inches (5 feet) high and a 30 foot ramp, the slope of the ramp will be less
