A radioactive substance decays according to the formula w = 20e¡kt grams where t is the time in hours. a find k given that after

50 hours the weight is 10 grams. b find the weight of radioactive substance present at: i t = 0 hours ii t = 24 hours iii t = 1 week. c how long will it take for the weight to reach 1 gram? d find the rate of radioactive decay at: i t = 100 hours ii t = 1000 hours. e show that dw dt is proportional to the weight of substance remaining.

W=20 e(-kt)  
A. Rearranging gives k= -(ln(w/20)/t 
 Substituting w= 10 and solving gives k=0.014 
 B. Using W=20e(-kt). After 0 hours, W=20. After 24 hours, W=14.29g. After 1 week (24x7=168h) W=1.9g 
 C. Rearranging gives t=-(ln(10/20)/k. Substituting w=1 and solving gives t=214 hours. 
 D. Differentiating gives dW/ dt = -20ke(-kt). Solving for t=100 gives dW/dt = 0.07g/h. Solving for t=1000 gives 0.0000002g/h 
 E. dW/dt = -20ke(-kt). But W=20e(-kt) so dW/dt = -kW

A car moving in a straight line starts at X=0 at t=0. It passesthe point x=25.0 m with a speed of 11.0 m/s at t=3.0 s. It passes
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Average velocity v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = 2 m/s^2

Explanation:

Average speed equals the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken.

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

Average acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by change in time.

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

Where;

v1 and v2 are velocities at time t1 and t2 respectively.

And x1 and x2 are positions at time t1 and t2 respectively.

Given;

t1 = 3.0s

t2 = 20.0s

v1 = 11 m/s

v2 = 45 m/s

x1 = 25 m

x2 = 385 m

Substituting the values;

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

v = (385-25)/(20-3)

v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

a = (45-11)/(20-3)

a = 2 m/s^2
