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.

Why it is difficult to run fast in sand​
balu736 [363]
Running on sand requires 1.6 times more energy spent than running on hard surface, so the force applied by our foot on sand is less.

A charge q produces an electric field of strength 2E at a distance of d away. Determine the electric field strength at a distanc
Alja [10]

The electric field strength of a point charge is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the charge ... a lot like gravity.

If the magnitude of the field is (2E) at the distance 'd', then at the distance '2d', it'll be (2E)/(2²).  That's (2E)/4 = 0.5E .

Calculate the force exerted by a mental ball having a mass of 70kg moving with speed of 20m/s>2
lord [1]

Answer:

F = 1400 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the ball, m = 70 kg

It is moving with an acceleration of 20 m/s². We need to find the force exerted by the ball.

Force is given by the product of mass and acceleration. So,

F = ma

F=70\ kg\times \ 20m/s^2\\\\F=1400\ N

So, the force of 1400 N is exerted by a metal ball.
