Strontium 90 is a radioactive material that decays according to the function Upper A (t )equals Upper A 0 e Superscript negative

0.0244 t Baseline commaA(t)=A0e−0.0244t, where Upper A 0A0 is the initial amount present and A is the amount present at time t​ (in years). Assume that a scientist has a sample of 500500 grams of strontium 90. ​(a) What is the decay rate of strontium​ 90?

Answer:

Decay rate K = -2.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we want to know the decay rate of strontium 90

Mathematically, this is accessible from its decay equation

From the decay equation, we can see that that ;

At = Ao e^-0.0244t

Generally, the decay equation of a radioactive sample can be written as

At = Ao e^-kt

where K represents the decay constant

From the equation, we can see that;

k = 0.0244 which when represented as a percentage is 2.44%

Since it’s a decay we can say that the decay rate is -2.44%

lions [1.4K]

This creates a right triangle. One leg of the triangle is 25 feet and the other is 10 feet. To find the length of the ladder, we must use Pythagorean theorem.

a = 25

b = 10

c = ?

(25)^2 + (10)^2 = c^2. Square all the terms to the left of the equation and add them together.

725 = c^2. Take the square root of each side.

c = 26.93 feet.

The ladder needs to be 26.93 feet tall.
