โ 15y agoAt 2.7 days, half of the 800 atoms (400 atoms) would have decayed. At 8.1 days, three half-lives have passed, so only ( \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8} ) of the original sample remains. Therefore, there are 100 atoms of Au-198 remaining in the sample after 8.1 days.
A stopwatch or a timer can be used to measure the time taken for the pendulum to make 20 oscillations. Start the timer when the pendulum starts swinging and stop it when it completes 20 oscillations to determine the time elapsed.
A stopwatch measures the elapsed time between when it starts and when it stops. It is commonly used to time events, races, or activities with precision.
A mechanical stopwatch can measure a time interval of up to 0.1 seconds. It has a knob that is used to wind the spring that powers the watch. It can also be used as a start-stop and reset button. The watch starts when the knob is pressed once. The Electronic Stopwatch keeps time for an unlimited number of splits and registers 1/100th for the first 30 seconds, and 1 second . thereafter for up to 24 hours. It includes a programmable alarm, and displays the current date, time and month.
At the moment the skydiver exits the helicopter, their downward velocity is initially zero. As they fall due to gravity, their velocity will increase over time.
To accurately measure the time of one swing of a pendulum, you can use a stopwatch or a timer with a high level of precision. Start the timer as the pendulum starts its swing and stop it as the pendulum reaches the other end of the swing. Repeat this process multiple times and calculate the average time to minimize errors.
There will be 125 atoms of Na24 remaining in the sample after 45 hours. This calculation is based on the fact that after 3 half-lives (45 hours/15 hours per half-life), the original 1000 atoms would have reduced by a factor of 2 three times, resulting in 1000/2/2/2 = 125 atoms remaining.
At 8.1 days, 400 atoms of Au198 would remain in the sample. This is because after 8.1 days, two half-lives of Au198 have passed, reducing the initial 800 atoms to 400.
Based on the half-life of Na-24, after 1 half-life (15 hours), there would be 500 atoms remaining. After 2 half-lives (30 hours), there would be 250 atoms remaining. After 3 half-lives (45 hours), there would be 125 atoms remaining in the sample.
After 8.1 days, three half-lives have passed (8.1 days / 2.7 days = 3). With each half-life, the number of atoms is halved. Therefore, starting with 800 atoms, after three half-lives there would be 800 / 2 / 2 / 2 = 100 atoms remaining.
There is no upper limit; when the stopwatch reaches the largest number of seconds it can count, it simply starts over. It is your job to count the number of times it starts over. Most digital stopwatches can time up to 20 hours, resetting after 19:59:59.99.

700 milliion years. The definition of half-life is the period of time during which one-half of the atoms of an element undergo decay into other elements.
