Radioactive substance decays so that after t years, the amount remaining, expressed as a percent of the original amount, is A(t)=100(1.6)^(-t). a) Determine the function A’, which represent the rate of decay of the substance. b) what is the half-life for this substance? c) what is the rate of decay when half the substance has decayed?
ANSWER ALL PLEASE! Applications of Exponential Equations Many real-life situations can be modeled by an exponential growth function of the form A(t) Ao ett constant that affects the rate of growth or decay, and t represents time. Using your knowledge of writing exponential equations that you did in the beginning of this chapter, what would A or an exponential decay function of the form A(t)-A ett where k represents the represent? 1. The amount of carbon-14 present in animal bones...
A radioactive substance has a half-life of 17.33 years. Use the formula n(t) = n0e^ −kt which tells you how much is left at time t > 0 to find how much of a 20-gm sample would remain one hundred years after it is collected. Round your answer to the nearest two decimal places.
The half-life of a certain radioactive element is about 1000 years. After 3500 years, what percentage P of a sample of this element remains ? About % of the sample remains. (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
A 1.6 mg sample of radioactive Ho-166 has a half-life of 26.8 years. What mass remains after 12 years? All radioactive decay processes are 1st order reactions. t1/2 = 0.693/k ln [A]t = -kt + ln [A
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...
5.3.131 The half-life of a certain radioactive element is about 1600 years. After 2900 years, what percentage P of a sample of this element remains? About % of the sample remains (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
A radioactive substance decays at a rate proportional to the amount present at ime t (in hours). Initially, Ao grams of the substance was present, and after 10 hours, the mount has decreased by 20% How long will it take the substance to decay to 40? hat is the half life of this substance? Hint: the half-life is the time required for half of the initial substance to decay)
B) An unknown radioactive substance has a half-life of 3.20 hours. If 47.3 g of the substance is currently present, what mass A0 was present 8.00 hours ago? Express your answer with the appropriate units. C) Americium-241 is used in some smoke detectors. It is an alpha emitter with a half-life of 432 years. How long will it take in years for 30.0 % of an Am-241 sample to decay? Express your answer with the appropriate units. D) A fossil...
please show answer before and after rounding Finding the rate or time in a word problem on continuous... The mass of a radioactive substance follows a continuous exponential decay model, with a decay rate parameter of 9.1% per day. Find the half-life of this substance (that is, the time it takes for one-half the original amount in a given sample of this substance to decay). Note: This is a continuous exponential decay model. Do not round any intermediate computations, and...
