Answer:
Thus the time taken is calculated as 387.69 years
Solution:
As per the question:
Half life of 
= 28.5 yrs
Now,
To calculate the time, t in which the 99.99% of the release in the reactor:
By using the formula:
where
N = No. of nuclei left after time t
= No. of nuclei initially started with
(Since, 100% - 99.99% = 0.01%)
Thus
Taking log on both the sides:
t = 387.69 yrs
T<span>he equation to be used here to determine the distance between two equipotential points is:
V = k * Q / r
where v is the voltage of the point, k is a constant, Q is charge of the point measured in coloumbs and r is the distance.
In this case, we can use ratio of proportions to determine the distance between the two points. in this respect,
Point 1:
V = k * Q / r = 290
r = k*Q/290 ; kQ = 290r
Point 2:
V = k * Q / R = 41
R = k*Q/41
from equation 10 kQ = 290r
R = 290/(41)= 7.07 m
The distance between the two points then is equal to 7.07 m.
