Question:
The half-life of strontium-90 is 25 years. Find the amount of strontium-90 remaining after 10 years if q0 = 98 kg.
In use the fact that the quantity of a radioactive substance after t years is given by q = q0(2-t/k), where q0 is the original amount of radioactive material and k is its half-life (the number of years it takes for half the radioactive substance to decay).
