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.

nata0808 [166]
The impulse is given by the magnitude of the force times the time interval:
I= F \Delta t
We can see that the force F of the 4 skateboard is always the same (33 N), this means that the skateboard with greatest impulse is the one with the largest time interval, so skateboard C).

Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

5,2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of light C=3.0×10^8 m/s.

Generally the equation for Average Speed is mathematically given by

V_{avg}=\frac{d}{t}

Where

d=Distance between the Earth and the sun

d=1.5*10^11m

Therefore

t=\frac{d}{V_{avg}}

t=\frac{1.5*10^11m}{3.0×10^8 m/s.}

t=5*10^2s

Since m and n is given in the form of

m*10^n

Therefore

m=5 & n=2
