A radioactive material decays with a rate proportional to the amount present at any instant. a) Write and solve the differential equation. b) Use the solution of the differential equation to solve the following application problem. Carbon 14 (14C) is a radioactive isotope of the carbon element and has an approximate half-life of 5600 years. The fossil bones of an animal were analyzed and found to contain one-tenth of the radioactive 14C. Determine the approximate age of the bones found.

A certain radioactive substance decays at a rate proportional to its remaining mass M. a. Express this rate of decay as a differential equation. b. When a living organism dies it ceases to replace the carbon isotope C-14, and 48. the C-14 that is present decays with a half-ife of about 5730 years. If archeologists discover a fossilized bone that has 30% of the C-14 of a live bone, approximately how old is it? A certain radioactive substance decays at...

A scientist begins with 250 grams of a radioactive substance. After 250 minutes, the sample has decayed to 36 grams. Write an exponential equation f(t) representing this situation. (Let f be the amount of radioactive substance in grams and t be the time in minutes.) f(t) 250e 0.0087t x To the nearest minute, what is the half-life of this substance? 89 min Use the model for continuous exponential decay, y = Ao e-kt, where y is the amount of radioactive...
Please show your steps clearly. . The radioactive isotope Uranium-234 decays to Thoriu-230 with a half-life of T. Thorium 230 itself is also radioactive and decays to Radium-226 with a half-life of γ and γ > τ Although Radium-226 is also radioactive its half-life is much longer than T and γ and here we assume that it is relative stable. Consider the scenario when we start with a certain amount of pure Uranium-234, because of this chain of decays, we...
