Roughly 12000 people in a certain country are diagnose a thyroid cancer every year which accounts for 1% of all cancer cases that occurs in women 3 times as frequently as men fortunately thyroid cancer can be treated successfully and many cases with radioactive iodine or i-131 this unstable form of iodine has a 1/2 life of 8 days and is given in small doses measured in milicuries
a)suppose a patient is given initial dose of 80 milicuries. find a function that gives the amount of i-131 in the body after t> 0(more than or equal) days
b) how long does it take for the amount of i131 to reach 15% of the initial dose
c) finding the initial dose to give a particular patient is a critical calculation. how does the time to reach 15% of the initial dose change if the initial dose increased by 5%

[05.02] what is the best explanation of the kinetic molecular theory as it relates to the energy of the molecules in the states of matter? (1 point) the molecules in a gas have greater kinetic energy than those in a liquid, which in turn have greater kinetic energy than the molecules in a solid. kinetic energy cannot be created nor destroyed, and, as a result, all states of matter have the same kinetic energy. the molecules in a gas have greater kinetic energy; therefore, they are more tightly packed than the molecules in either a liquid or a solid. the molecules in gases and liquids, in constant motion, have greater kinetic energy than those in a solid, which do not move or vibrate because their position is fixed.
