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

What is the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

B. 17m/s

Explanation:

This question contains a graph that illustrates the relationship between the speed of a car over time. The graph shows that one can make an inference of the amount of time it takes for the car to cover a particular speed and vice versa.

In this case, after 3 seconds, the speed of the car will be 17 m/s. This inference was got by tracing the position of 3s in the x-axis to the value on the y-axis. Doing this, the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds is 17m/s.

Which of the fundamental forces explains the structure of atoms and molecules? gravitational force
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Strong nuclear force

Explanation:

Strong nuclear force (which is the strongest of the forces of the universe) is responsible for the attractive force between quarks to form nucleons (protons and neutrons). It is the reason why the protons (that are positive in charge) do not fly apart due to electromagnetic repulsion in the nucleus of an atom.
