Please help!! 20 POINTS!! Give two examples of exponential decay.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Temperature difference (in the absence of additional heat input) will tend to decay toward zero in an exponential way. Usually, heat loss is proportional to temperature difference, meeting the conditions for an exponential decay.
