If
is the amount of strontium-90 present in the area in year
, and it decays at a rate of 2.5% per year, then

Let
be the starting amount immediately after the nuclear reactor explodes. Then

or simply

So that after 50 years, the amount of strontium-90 that remains is approximately

or about 28% of the original amount.
We can confirm this another way; recall the exponential decay formula,

where
is measured in years. We're told that 2.5% of the starting amount
decays after 1 year, so that

Then after 50 years, we have

Answer:
3/23 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
2 /23 mile
-----------------
2/3 hour
2/ 23 ÷ 2/3
Copy dot flip
2 /23 * 3/2
Rewriting
2/2 * 3/23
3/23 miles per hour
Answer:
1306.24 cm².
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram given above, we obtained the following information:
Radius (r) = 13 cm
Pi (π) = 3.14
Slant height (l) = 19 cm
Surface Area (SA) =.?
The surface area of the cone can be obtained as follow:
SA = πr² + πrl
SA = πr ( r + l)
SA = 3.14 × 13 ( 13 + 19)
SA = 40.82 (32)
SA= 1306.24 cm²
Therefore, the surface area of the cone is 1306.24 cm².
0.625 day to grow 1 cm.
16/10 = 1.6 cm in day.
I hope that help ✌️
