Situation:
a 30 gram sample of a substance thats used for to sterilize surgircal instruments has a k-value of 0.1253.
n=noe^-kt
no=initial mass( at time t=0)
n=mass at time t
k=a positive constant that depends on the substance itself and on the units used to measure time
t=time, in days

find the substance's half-life, in days. round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Let f(x) = x4- 8x2 . find the relativeextrema of this function using the second derivative test.

Ajet plane has a sound level of 120 db at a distance of 60 m. what is the q23. sound level at a distance of 6.0 km? (60)2 (6000)? om solution 80db db, hint: 16x assume ultrasound waves travel through the body of an animal at 1540 q24. m/s. if a 30,000 hz signal were reflected off a portion of a heart which was moving toward the source at 3 m/s, what frequency signal would return to the stationary source? solution 30.117hz

Imagine you are riding on a yacht in the ocean and traveling at 20 mph. you then hit a golf ball at 100 mph from the deck of the yacht. you see the ball move away from you at 100mph, while a person standing on a near by beach would observe your golf ball traveling at 120 mph (20 mph + 100 mph). now imagine you are aboard the hermes spacecraft traveling at 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) past mars and shine a laser from the front of the ship. you would see the light traveling at c (the speed of light) away from your ship. according to einstein’s special relativity, how fast will a person on mars observe the light to be traveling? a) 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) b) c (the speed of light) c)1.1c (c+0.1c)
