Radioactive decay is given by:
N = No x e^(-λt)
We know that N/No has to be 0.05
λ = 0.15
0.05 = e^(-0.15t)
t = ln(0.05)/(-0.15)
t = 19.97 days

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

<h2>20 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{2000}{100}  = 20 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>20 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

A cubic sample of a new kind of artificial tissue is subject to an increase in pressure of 160 kPa which results in a reduction
grin007 [14]

Answer:

0.82 MPa

Explanation:

the change in pressure 'σ'=160kPa

K= σ/∈Ф_v => σ/3∈Ф_L

K= 160/(3 x 0.065)

K=820 kPA=0.82 MPa

Thus,the bulk modulus of the tissue 'K' is 0.82 MPa
