    Isotope Half-Life and Sample Size Calculation

    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...

    Evaluate the integral using the integration limits

    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...

    Integration by Parts homework assistance

    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 :).

    Geosychoronous Satellites and their KE/Orbitals

    Homework Statement Prove that the product of the kinetic energy and orbital radius of a geosynchronous satellite is constant. Homework Equations Not sure on the orbital radius part KE=KE = ½mGM/R The Attempt at a Solution I'm lost on where to begin. How exactly would I 'prove' it?

    Integrating to determine speed as a function of time

    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...

    Integrating to determine speed as a function of time

    Homework Statement Homework Equations The above formulas The Attempt at a Solution 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...

    Tricky problem worth 2 points on my final grade

    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.
