10% = 1/2 ^n
*where n is number of half lives to reach 10%

n = ln10/ln2

and multiply by 25 gives 83.05 years to 2dp

Hope this helps

Three point charges, two positive and one negative, each having a magnitude of 20 C are placed at the vertices of an equilateral

Daniel [21]

The resultant force on the positive charge is mathematically given as

X=40N

<h3>What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force on the negative charge?</h3>

Question Parameters:

Three-point charges, two positive and one negative, each having a magnitude of 20

Generally, the -ve charge is mathematically given as

$Q+=\sqrt{x^2+x^2+2x.xcos120}\\\\Q+=\sqrt{2x^2+2x*(1/2)}$

Q+=X

Therefore

$x=\frac{Kq1q2}{r2}\\\\x=\frac{9*10^9*20*10^{-6}*20*10^{-6}}{(30*10^-2)^2}$

X=40N
