1. We don't know the initial proportions of the isotopes we are comparing.
2. We are not allowing for changes to those proportions to occur other than through radioactive decay.
3. We assume a constant decay rate.
Take Newton's first law of motion: v= u + at
v= final velocity of object .
u= initial velocity.
a= acceleration of body.
t= time.
If we know v, if we know a and if we know u, it is possible to calculate t:
t= v-u/a
But what if we just assumed u to be 0 and a to have been constant? What u was much greater than zero and a had been much greater than it was when v was measured? We would necessarily get a much smaller value for t.
