This equation is the half-life equation (one version of it), but it has already
been algebraically rearranged to solve for the half-life, h.
1) Calculate the half-life of the simulated isotope using A. A. and t from your simulation. Units for half-life
should be in seconds for this simulation, and the number should be reasonable (i.e., a positive value
less than 100). Show your work. (4 pts)
