A mass of 100 grams of a particular radioactive substance decays according to the function m(t)=100e−t850

Answer:

After 1023.4 years the mass of the substance will be 30 g.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Let´s write the function (according to what I found on the web):

m(t) = 100e^{-t/850}

We have to find the time "t1" at which the mass of the substance is 30 g. Mathematically:

m(t1) = 30

Then:

30 = 100e^{-t1/850}

Let´s solve the equation for t1. First, divide by 100 both sides of the equation:

0.3 = e^{-t1/850}[/tex]

Apply ln to both sides of the equation:

ln(0.3) = ln(e^{-t/850})

Use the logarithm property: ln (aᵇ) = b ln(a)

ln(0.3) = -t/850 · ln (e)             (ln (e) = 1)

ln(0.3) = -t/850

850 ln(0.3) = -t

t = -850 ln(0.3)

t = 1023.4

After 1023.4 years the mass of the substance will be 30 g.

Explain electric circuits. Be sure to include the features, the roles, and the types. Help PLEASEEEE!!
maksim [4K]
If there was any way to do that, then your teacher wouldn't
need to keep you coming into class every day and doing
homework every night.  She could just give you the 3 or 4
paragraphs and a few pictures that you're asking me for,
and bada-bing ! you'd know it !

The time it takes, and the amount of homework it takes, is
EXACTLY the time you spent hearing about it in class.

(Unless you're some kind of genius savant prodigy, which
you're not and I'm not.)

Please help! Calculate velocity. Show all work!
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

v = 23.66 m/s

Explanation:

recall that one of the equations of motion may be expressed:

v² = u² + 2as,

Where

v = final velocity (we are asked to find this)

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s since we are told that it starts from rest

a = acceleration = 0.56m/s²

s = distance traveled = given as 500m

Simply substitute the known values into the equation:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2(0.56)(500)

v² = 560

v = √560

v = 23.66 m/s
