T = half life of cobalt-60 = 5.3 years

λ = decay constant for cobalt-60 = ?

decay constant is given as

λ = 0.693/T

inserting the values

λ = 0.693/5.3 = 0.131

N₀ = initial amount of cobalt-60 = 10 g

t = time of decay = 21.2 years

N = final amount of cobalt-60 after time "t"

final amount of cobalt-60 after time "t" is given as

N = N₀ e^{-\lambda t}

inserting the values

N = 10 e^{-(0.131) (21.2)}

N = 10 e^{-(0.131) (21.2)}

N = 10 x 0.0622 g

N = 0.63 g

hence

C. 0.63 g

If the frog lands with a velocity equal to its average velocity and comes to a full stop 0.25s later, what is the frog’s average
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Average accelation = -4V

Explanation:

a=\frac{V-V0}{t}

V=0 m/s (because the frog stopped)

V0 = V (average velocity)

t= 0,25 s

So;

a=\frac{V-V0}{t}=\frac{0-V}{0.25}=-4V
