Answer to Question #268362 in Python for Israel

Question

Radioactive decay of radioactive materials can be modeled by the equation 𝐴 = 𝐴0𝑒

−𝑡(ln 2⁄ℎ), where

A is the amount of the material at time t, A0 is the amount at time 0, and h is the half-life.

Technetium-99 is a radioisotope that is used in imaging of the brain. It has a half-life of 6

hours. Your program should display the relative amount A/A0 in a patient body every hour for 24

hours after receiving a dose.

Note: With the aid of formatting techniques documented in your note, ensure your program output

matches that given below

Answer 1

mport math 
ao = float(input('Enter A0: '))
h = float(input('Enter h: '))
for ​t in range(1, 25):
	a = ao * math.e ** (-t * (math.log(2) / h))
	print('%d: %6f' %(t, a)
