Q14

A 80-mg sample of protactinium-233 (Pa-223) is placed in a nuclear reactor. After 5 days, the sample has decayed to 70 mg. The amount of Pa-223 remaining in the reactor can be modelled by the function:

 N(t) = N_0 (\dfrac{1}{2}) ^{\dfrac{t}{h}}

Here, N(t) represents the amount of Pa-223, in milligrams, as a function of time, t, in days; N_0 represents the initial amount of Pa-223, in milligrams; and h represents the half-life of Pa-223, in days.

c) How fast is the sample decaying after 5 days?

a) From what horizontal distance from the bottom of Kara's swing did Lee push his sister?

b) Determine the greatest speed Kara will reach and when this occurs.
