The minimum amount of force needed to move the ball is 15N
Answer:
time taken is equal to 14,156 years
Explanation:
we know,

at t = 0
Y(0) = A
given that half life of plutonium 239 = 24,200



hence time taken is equal to 14,156 years
Work,
in thermodynamics, is the amount of energy that is transferred from one system
to another system without transfer of entropy. It is equal to the external
pressure multiplied by the change in volume of the system. It is expressed as
follows:<span>
W = PdV
Integrating and assuming that P is not affected
by changes in V or it is constant, then we will have:
W = P (V2 - V1)
Substituting the given values:
P = 1.0 atm = 101325 Pa
(V2 - V1) = 0.50 L =
W = 101325 N/m^3 ( 0.50) (1/1000) m^3
W = 50.66 N-m or 50.66 J
<span>
So, in the expansion process about 50.66 J of work is being done.
