It has been shown that the half-life for this radioactive isotope is 20 years. In the year 2000, an archaeology team unearths pottery and is using this isotope for radiometric dating to place the age of the pottery. It is shown that 95% of the nuclei have decayed. How much mass has decayed? How much mass is left? I'd prefer to be shown a step-by-step on how to solve for these questions. I do better with seeing the step-by-step, and can retain the information better.

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
