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

Why is it important for a muscle to be attached to a fixed origin at one end and a moving insertion at the other? Discuss how th
vlabodo [156]
Muscles function only by contracting. This makes it necessary for one end of the muscle to be fixed and the other mobile.
Take the bicep for example.
Its origin is at the shoulder and its two heads connect to the bones of the forearm, the radius and ulna.
Now, had the muscle not been fixed at one end, and contracted, it would pull both our shoulder and forearm together resulting in an ineffective movement. The desired motion is to lift the forearm (proximal and distal movement) which can only be achieved if the bicep is fixed at the shoulder and allowed to move at the forearm.

prohojiy [21]
<span>Since forces are vector quantities, we must indicate direction using positive and negative values. East will be assigned positive and west will be negative. Friction will act as a negative force since it impedes action. To calculate the net force we sum the vector quantities, as follows. Net force equals 50n which is derived by the following calculation: 300n-220n-30n.</span>
