Homework Statement
The isotope 239Pu has a half-life of 24,100 years. After 10,000 years, a sample of the isotope is reduced 1.6 grams. What was the intial size of the same (in grams)? How large was the sample after the first 1,000 years. Round your answer to four decimal places.Homework...
Homework Statement
(Between 0-3) ∫x3/√(x2+9)The Attempt at a Solution
I attempted U sub, but that didn't work. Neither did integration by parts; however, I do remember my teacher using a method involving sub'ing an "x" or something.
Anybody?
Will edit in attempts as I search YouTube for...
Hmm okay, got it.
So let's say U = x2
dU = 2x
dv = xe5x2
V=1/10e5x2
Then, plug into the equation, and you get...
(x2)(1/10e5x2) - ∫(1/10e5x2)2x dx
EDIT: Just got it, thanks a lot for your time :).

I've tried this one a few times, but keep getting answers that are just out there. Could someone, if possible, work out just the beginning.

I'd like to mention beforehand this is not my work, I'm simply just trying to understand it.
I believe the answer is incorrect, could someone kindly indicate why?

I'm lost on where to begin. How exactly would I 'prove' it?
Thanks for the response Tiny-Tim :)
Okay, so i follow you somewhat. F = -bv (general formula for resistive force).
According to Newton's second law, F=ma which can be rewritten as F=m(dv/dt).
You then equate those two, and you get m(dv/dt)=-bv.
What happens after this? (dv/v) is the...

I'm lost on where to start with this. The object has an intial velocity in the X direction and has the resistive force of the plontons acting upon it when it lands. What exactly is the equation...
Hmm I could give it a try. In regards to KE,
1/2Mv2= 1/2mv2+1/2Mv2
Not sure how to signify a collision above. Sorry for giving you a hard time. My physics professor isn't much a professor.
