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.

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

Given:
Equilateral triangle: height = 2.6 inches ; base or side length = 3 inches
Rectangle: length = 6 inches ; width = 3 inches

1 name plate has 2 equilateral triangle and 3 rectangles.
Surface area of an equilateral triangle = √3/4 * a² = √3/4 * 3² = 3.9 in²

3.9 in² x 2 = 7.8 in²

Surface area of a rectangle = 6 in * 3 in = 18 in²

18 in² x 3 = 54 in²

7.8 in² + 54 in² = 61.8 in²

61.8 in² x 30 nameplates = 1,854 in²  Choice A.
