master_q 0 Posted April 20, 2003 {Official} Star Trek Trivia #39 ******************* Data has a problem he needs to figure out with your help. . . . . He knows that radium is radioactive and when a radioactive substance decays, the # of atoms that decay in a fixed time period is proportional to the # of atoms a t the start of that period. Data also knows that radium is known to decay so that after 1,600 years the amount of radium is halved. Data also knows that there are initially 10 grams of radium. Data needs to find out how much radium is left after 100 years and he needs your help! ******************* Answering: Send myself a private message (do not answer here!)
