Element X decays radioactively with a half-life of 14 minutes if there are 680 grams of element X how long to the nearest 10th of a minute would it take the element to decay 17 grams

It would take 74.5 minutes for the element to decay 17 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of element X after t minutes is given by the follwoing equation:

In which X(0) is the initial amount of the substance and r is the decay rate.

Half life of 14 minutes.

This means that

So

So

There are 680 grams of element X

This means that

How long would it take the element to decay 17 grams

This is t for which X(t) = 17. So

It would take 74.5 minutes for the element to decay 17 grams.

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
