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

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.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the one-dimensional equation

v_f=v_0+at where vf is the final velocity of the dog, v0 is the initial velocity of the dog, a is the acceleration of the dog, and t is the time it takesto reach that final velocity. For us:

0 = 2 + -.43t and

-2 = -.43t so

t = 4.7 seconds

A bookcase has a base of 1 m long and 0.5 m wide. It has a mass of 300kg. Find the pressure it exerts on the floor in kPa.
Snezhnost [94]
1m*0.5m=0.5m^2\\
g=10\frac{m}{s^2}\\
300kg*10\frac{m}{s^2}=3000N\\
3000N--0.5m^2\\
\ \ x\ \ --\ 1\\
x=6000Pa=60kPa

baherus [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

The most important thing to remember about parabolic motion in physics is that when an object reaches its max height, the velocity right there at the highest point is 0. Use this one-dimensional motion equation to solve this problem:

v = v₀ + at and filling in:

0 = v₀ + (-9.8)(4.0) **I put in 4.0 for time so we have more than just 1 sig fig here**

0 = v₀ - 39 and

-v₀ = -39 so

v₀ = 39 m/s
