The concentration of an isotope is 1/500 of its initial value after one day. What is the rate of decay?

Physics

The exponential growth/decay formula is given by A = Pe^(rt), where A is the final amount, P is the initial amount, r is the rate of growth/decay and t is time. 

We are given A = (1/500)P and t=1, so substituting:
(1/500)P = Pe^(r*1)
Cancelling out P on both sides:
1/500 = e^r
ln(1/500) = ln(e^r)
r = -6.215

Rate of decay is -6.215 per day.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Production of GMOs is a multistage process which can be summarized as follows:

1. identification of the gene interest;

2. isolation of the gene of interest;

3. amplifying the gene to produce many copies;

4. associating the gene with an appropriate promoter and poly A sequence and insertion into plasmids;

5. multiplying the plasmid in bacteria and recovering the cloned construct for injection;

6. transference of the construct into the recipient tissue, usually fertilized eggs;

7. integration of gene into recipient genome;

8. expression of gene in recipient genome; and

Two pieces of amber are hung from threads. Piece A is charged by rubbing piece A with fur. Piece B is charged by rubbing piece B
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

ieces A and B must also have the same type of charges

Explanation:

In electrostatics, charges of the same sign repel and charges of different signs attract.

If we apply this to our case, we have that part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

Also part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

If we use the transitive property of mathematics, pieces A and B must also have the same type of charges
