Which type of nuclear decay is the following radioactive isotope likely to undergo? All known stable isotopes are shown on the graph. The points form what is know as the "belt of stability". If a radioactive isotope is above the belt of stability, think about what type of decay would decrease its N/Z ratio. If an unstable isotope is below the belt of stability, think about what type of decay would increase its N/Z ratio. If a radioactive isotope is...

Potassium-40 is a radioactive isotope of potassium, a very common element in terrestrial rocks, which decayrs to Ar-40 with a half-life of 1.28x10^9 years. By measuring the ratio of Ar-40 to K-40, geologists can determine the age of ancient rocks. 40 K ----> 40 Ar + 0/1e+ 40 K ----> 40 Ca + 0/-1e- A) Why might K-40 decay by two different pathways? B) Only about 11% of the K-40 decays to Ar-40. If the ratio of Ar-40 to K-40...

Assume in a simple example that something occurs in an economy which produces “Good X” that changes consumer preferences. This will decrease consumer preferences for “Good X” in the economy. Assume that this is a competitive market and that “Good X” is a normal good, what will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of “Good X”? Use supply and demand analysis to demonstrate your answer and be sure to provide the rationale behind what is happening and also discuss...
