A radioactive substance decays exponentially: The mass at time t is m(t) = m(0)e^kt, where m(0) is the initial mass and k is a n

egative constant. The mean life M of an atom in the substance is
[infinity]
M = âk â« te^kt dt.
0

For the radioactive carbon isotope, 14C, used in radiocarbon dating, the value of k is -0.000121. Find the mean life of a 14C atom.

Answer:

mean life = 8264.5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

k = - 0.000121

The relation is given by

m = mo e^{kt}

Now, the mean life is the life time for which the sample retains.

The mean life is the reciprocal of the decay constant.  

The relation between the mean life and the decay constant is

\tau =\frac{1}{k}\\\\\tau = \frac{1}{0.000121} = 8264.5 seconds

Eight more then seventimes a number (x) is atleast twenty nine
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:A number increased by seventeen is equal to seventy-three. x + 17 = 73

Some number decreased by seven is thirty-three. x - 7 = 33

A number increased by twelve is forty. x + 12 = 40

A number increased by fifteen is sixty-two. x + 15 = 62

Eight less than a number is nine. x - 8 = 9

A number divided by 11 is 4. x/11 = 4

Seven more than three times a number is 19. 3x + 7 = 19

Four more than five times a number is thirty-six. 5x + 4 = 35

Eight less than nine times a number is eleven. 9x - 8 = 11

Twelve more than four times a number is seven. 4x + 12 = 7

Seven more than triple a number is fifteen. 3x + 7 = 15

Seven times a number increased by eight equals twenty-three. 7x + 8 = 23

Eight more than six times a numbers is eleven. 6x + 8 = 11

Nine times a number increased by thirteen is twelve. 9x + 13 = 12

The quotient of a number and four is seventeen. x/4 = 17

A number increased by seven is twenty-five. x + 7 = 25

Fifty-five is the sum of a number and sixteen. x + 16 = 55

The product of a number and eleven is seventy-five. 11x = 75

Eight times a number increased by eleven is thirty-seven. 8x + 11 = 37

The difference of a number and twelve is thirty-four. x - 12 = 34

Gray can ride his bike 6miles in 20 minutes at this rate how many miles can he ride in 100 minutes
oksano4ka [1.4K]
30. Since he can ride the bike 6 miles in 20 mins, and 100 divided by 20 is 5, the answer would be given to you by multiplying 5x6, which is 30. So he can travel 30 miles in 100 minutes.
