Answer:

500.3 Bq

Explanation:

From the formula;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (Ao/A)

Where;

t1/12 = half life = 5 years

Ao = initial activity = 2000 Bq

0.693/5 = 2.303/10 log (2000/A)

0.1386= 0.2303  log (2000/A)

0.1386/0.2303 =  log (2000/A)

0.6018 = log (2000/A)

(2000/A) = Antilog (0.6018)

(2000/A) = 3.9976

A = 2000/3.9976

A = 500.3 Bq

Len [333]

Answer:236 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of sofa m=60 kg

Displacement s=5.9 m

Force F=40 N

neglecting Friction

Work done is given by

W=F\cdot s

W=F\cdot s\cos 0

W=40\cdot 5.9

W=236 J

Gelneren [198K]
<span>For this example, the value presented would be considered a statistic. The value is a statistic as it represents a numerical measurement of a sample. If it were a parameter, it would need to represent a numerical measurement of a population.</span>
