The complete queston is The amount of a radioactive element A at time t is given by the formula

A(t) = A₀e^kt

Answer:  A(t) =N e^( -1.2 X 10^-4t)

Explanation:

Given

Half life =  5730 years.

A(t) =A₀e ^kt

such that

A₀/ 2 =A₀e ^kt

Dividing both sides by A₀

1/2 = e ^kt

1/2 = e ^k(5730)

1/2 = e^5730K

In 1/2 =  5730K

k = 1n1/2 / 5730

k = 1n0.5 / 5730

K= -0.00012 = 1.2 X 10^-4

So that expressing   N in terms of t, we have

A(t) =A₀e ^kt

A₀ = N

A(t) =N e^ -1.2 X 10^-4t

With good tires and breaks, a car traveling 50 mi/hr on dry pavement can travel 400 ft when the driver reacts to something he se
Bogdan [553]

Answer:6.72 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity u=50 mi/hr\approx 73.33 ft/s

Distance traveled before stopping s=400 ft

using equation of

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial Velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

v=0 as car stops after travelling 400 ft

0-73.33^2=2\times a\times 400

a=-6.72 m/s^2

negative sign indicates it is deceleration
