    How do you do half life calculations for nuclear decay? We'll do a whole bunch of practice problems in this video, talking about fractions, percentages and amounts.

    You are my favourite person on RUclips, honestly! My physics teacher is impatient and very unapproachable, and I tend to need someone to explain things slowly for me... which you do perfectly! You're an absolutely wonderful teacher :)

    • @roxannafees8624
      @roxannafees8624 3 года назад

      To me the easiest-to-use formula is time = (number of half lives) x (length of a a half life). There is a fancier one with exponents, but this works like 95% of the time.
