Show your COMPLETE solution and BOX your final answers. Keep your answers and solutions in 4 decimal places. > Initially, 100 milligrams of a new radioactive substance Tobium, named after its discoverer Sir Tobs, was discovered and collected from one of the moons of Jupiter. After 6 hours from collection, the mass decreased by 4%, If the rate of decay IS proportional to the amount of the substance present at time t, find the amount of Tobium remaining after 48 hours.arrow_forward
- PLEASE be clear in your answer since the last time I posted was incorrect, and only answer part b, thanks.arrow_forwardPlease explain it short and easy to understand (The picture is what the experiment look like) (Please don't explain it by giving the formulas because I don't understand) It is all related. What is the effect of increasing and decreasing the altitude where the experiment takes place? Why? (I really don't understand this question because it does not change anything when increase or decrease it) What is the effect of increasing or decreasing the mass of the cannon ball?(I think the effect is that with air resistance, increasing the mass will increase the range of the cannonball because the object is heavier. Is it correct?)arrow_forwardCalculate the gravitational force that Parton exerts on an electron, 10^-10 meters away. Show your workarrow_forward
