Approximately what fraction of an original Co-60 sample remains after 21 years?
Half-life is 5.27 years; 21 / 5.27 = 3.99, or almos 4 half-lives; (1/2)4 = 1/16.
What happens to the area of a rectangle if you half the width?
It becomes half of what the original area is.
What is the total number of years that must pass before only 25.00 grams of an original 100.0 gram sample of c-14 remains unchanged?
25/100 = 1/4 of the original sample. The "half-life" must pass twice, yielding (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/4 of the original sample. The half-life of Carbon-14 is listed as ( 5,730 ± 40 ) years. Twice that is ( 11,460 ± 80 ) years
A rope is cut in half and half is discarded From the remaining half 1 quarter is cut off and discarded What fraction of the original rope is left?
3/8
How old is Don Half Pint Santos?
Don "Half Pint" Santos, original Immature band member, is 28 yrs old.
The half-life of cobalt-60 is 5.3 years After years 1 4 of the original amount of cobalt-60 will remain?
After 1 year, 50% of the original amount of cobalt-60 will remain. This means that 50% will decay and 50% will be left. After 4 years, 6.25% of the original amount (50% of 50%) of cobalt-60 will remain.
After one half-life what percent of the original uranium remains?
After one half-life, 50% (or half) of the original uranium remains.
The half life of cobalt 60 is 5.3 years After years 14 of the original amount of cobalt 60 will remain?
After 14 years, 1/16th of the original amount of cobalt-60 will remain, because 14 years is equivalent to 2.64 half-lives of cobalt-60 (14 years / 5.3 years/half-life). Each half-life reduces the amount of cobalt-60 by half, so after 2.64 half-lives, the original amount will be reduced to 1/2^2.64 which is approximately 1/16th.
How much of a sample of radioisotope remains after one half-life?
After one half-life, approximately 50% of the original sample of radioisotope remains. This means that half of the original radioisotope has decayed into a stable form.
After three half-lives what fraction of a radioactive sample remains?
1/8 of the original amount remains.
What fraction of an original sample of a radio isotope remains after 3 half-life periods?
One eighth remains.
How much of an original isotope remains at the end of a second half-life?
At the end of a second half-life, one-fourth (25%) of the original isotope remains. This is because each half-life halves the amount of the isotope present.
What is the half-life of cobalt-57?
The half-life of cobalt-57 is about 271.74 days.
How much of a radio active parent isotope remains after one half life has pass?
Half the original amount.
What is the half-life of Cobalt-60?
The half-life of Cobalt-60 is about 5.27 years. This means that in this time, half of the original amount of Cobalt-60 will have decayed into other elements. It is commonly used in medical and industrial applications due to its radioactive properties.
What fraction of a radioactive sample remains after one half-life?
After one half-life, half of the radioactive sample remains. This means that the remaining fraction is 1/2 or 0.5 of the original sample.
Why After three half-lives what fraction of a radioactive sample remains?
After three half-lives, only 1/8 (or 12.5%) of the original radioactive sample remains. This is because each half-life reduces the amount of radioactive material by half, so after three half-lives, you would have (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/8 of the original sample remaining.
