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

Joe and Max shake hands and say goodbye. Joe walks east 0.40 km to a coffee shop, and Max flags a cab and rides north 3.65 km to
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

3.67 km

Explanation:

Joe distance towards coffee shop is,

OB=0.40 km

And the Max distance towards bookstore is,

OA=3.65 km

Now the distance between the Joy and Max will be,

By applying pythagorus theorem,

AB=\sqrt{OB^{2}+OA^{2}}

Substitute 0.40 km for OB and 3.65 km for OA in the above equation.

AB=\sqrt{0.40^{2}+3.65^{2}}\\AB=\sqrt{13.4825} \\AB=3.67 km

Therefore the distance between there destination is 3.67 km.
