If the half-life of a radioactive material is 3000 years, how much of the 100 grams will remain after 5000 years?


15.6

22.7

26.8

28.6

31.5


Yanıt Açıklaması:

The quantity at time t is given by the formula Q(t)=Q(0)*ekt where Q(0) is the initial amount.

Since the half life is 3000 years, we can write:

0.5Q(0)=Q(0)*e3000k which means that:

0.5=e3000k

ln0.5=lne3000k

ln0.5=3000k

ln0.5/3000=k

Thus, after finding k we can calculate:

Q(t=5000)=100*e5000*ln0.5/3000

=100*e5*ln0.5/3

=100*e-1.155=31.49
