Answer: 0.0353\ s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given

Radioactive material is found to decrease 40% of its original value in 2.59\times 10\ s

Sample at any time is given by

N=N_oe^{-\lambda t}

where, \lambda=\text{decay constant}

Put values

\Rightarrow 0.4N_o=N_oe^{-\lambda\cdot 2.59\times 10}\\\Rightarrow 0.4=e^{-\lambda\cdot 2.59\times 10

Taking natural logarithm both side

\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{\ln 2.5}{25.9}\\\\\Rightarrow \lambda =0.0353\ s^{-1}

-Surgen de una interacción.
-Nunca aparece una sola: son dos y simultáneas.
-Actúan sobre cuerpos diferentes: una en cada cuerpo.
-Nunca forman un par de fuerzas: tienen la misma línea de acción.
-Un cuerpo que experimenta una única interacción no está en equilibrio, pues sobre el aparece una fuerza unica que lo acelera. Para estar en equilibrio se requieren por lo menos dos interacciones.

a 15 kg tv sots on a shelf at a height of 0.3 m. how much gravitational potential energy is added to the television when it is l
nata0808 [166]
Gravitational potential energy can be described as m*g*h (mass times gravity times height).

Originally,
15kg * 9.8m/s^2 *0.3 m = 44.1 kg*m^2/s^2 = 44.1 Joules.

After it is moved to a 1m shelf:
15kg * 9.8m/s * 1 = 147 kg*m^2/s^2= 147 Joules.

To find how much energy was added, we subtract final energy from initial energy:

147 J - 44.1 J = 102.9 Joules.
