The amount of a radioactive substance remaining after t years is given by the function , where m is the initial mass and h is the half-life in years. cobalt-60 has a half-life of about 5.3 years. which equation gives the mass of a 50 mg cobalt-60 sample remaining after 10 years, and approximately how many milligrams remain? ; 13.5 mg ; 34.6 mg ; 0.2 mg ; 4.6 mg

Sagot :

The required equation f(10) = 13.52 mg remains.

We have given that ,

m is the initial mass and h is the half-life in years. cobalt-60 has a half-life of about 5.3 years. which equation gives the mass of a 50 mg cobalt-60

What is the fromula for he amount of a radioactive substance remaining after t years?

The amount of a radioactive substance remaining after t years is given by the function  

[tex]f(t)=m(0.5)^{t/h}[/tex]............ (1),

where m = initial mass and h= half-life in years.

Now, for Cobalt-60, h = 5.3 years, m = 50 mg and t = 10 years,

then from equation (1) we get,

[tex]f(10)=50(0.5)^{10/5.3}[/tex]

Therefore  the required equation  f(10) = 13.52 mg .
