If you walk 15m west and 7m east. what is your displacement?

1 answer:

6 0

If we consider our origin to be zero then if we walk 15m west then back 7m east our displacement would be the difference (since west and east are opposite directions to one another).

15m - 7m = 8m

And so, we are 8 meters away from our origin, thus our displacement is 8 meters.

We use the radioactive decay equation for this problem which is expressed as:

An = Aoe^-kt

An is the remaining amount after time t, Ao is the initial amount and k is a constant.

First, we determine the k from the half life as follows:

An/Ao = 1/2 = e^-k(14.4)
k = 0.04814

Then, we can calculate An after 28.8 yr.

An = 1000 e^-0.04814(28.8)
An = 250 g
