Well, einsteinium-253, has a half-life of about 20 days and is produced by combining 15 neutrons with uranium-238. However, unless nothing else is stated in the question, the half-life is the default value.

Not quite. That would only be true if it had a half-life of like 5 seconds. In that case it would break down so fast it would pretty much disinegrate before your eyes. Einsteinium-253 has a half-life of about 20 days. Einsteinium-252 has a half-life of of about 470 days. So depending on which isotope is used, and how long it takes to contain it, it would be possible to get the exact mass in a container at any given time.

Now, Chruser, since I still don't understand what a vendekometer and a xennoliter are, I can't attempt to answer. but I'll go find out right now....

ROFL damn you beat me to it Chruser...

Lol ha ha.

Chruser did you get ahold of your dads Physics book again?

LiveWire 2003-02-01 05:08 PM

The answer is 0

Actually if what you say here is true, then it should also be possible to get the exact position of a moving object at any given time...which you cannot.

LMFAO! :haha:



Btw nobody has the answer for BLT?

Shpook 2003-02-02 04:22 AM

Well, your thinking to specifically, mantralord. By the rules of (umm, you know, i don't remember what its called right now, but anyway), this is true, you can never get the exact mass or position. But then again you can never get anything TRULY exact. You can never create a perfect circle, or a straight line. But it would be non-exact on such a small level that for this application it's unnecessary. So the word "exact" is stated as meaning as close to TRUE as we can get.

Now, even if it had a half-life of 5 seconds, you can still "take a snapshot" and get the exact mass.

And I believe what I forgot in the above paragraph was a sub-theory of Chaos theory, but I still don't quite remember.

That's correct! Still, you have to explain how you got that answer.

That's like seeing a picture of a spaceship on a math test where you're supposed to find its volume, and you state that it has no volume, as it's just an image on a piece of paper.

Like most IQ tests, if nothing specific is stated, just go for the standard model.

Container is too small to fit an atom in it.

Question: Pope Gregory XIII instutited the Gregorian calendar in 1582. To be more accurate in time-keeping, instead of adding one day every fourth year, 97 days are added every 400 years meaning, when averaged, the year is 365.2425 days long. What year will it be when the Gregorian calendar is a day off?

Chruser 2003-02-07 11:29 AM

Yep, you got that answer correctly.

if an IQ test is in any way unspecific it is flawed.
