PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE QUESTION The half-life of Barium-139 is 4.96 x 10^3 seconds. A sample contains 3.21 x 10^17 nuclei. What is the decay constant for this decay?

A) 1.67 x 10^-4 s^-1

B) 5.43 x 10^-4 s^-1

C) 1.40 x 10^-4 s^-1

D) 2.22 x 10^-4 s^-1

OPTION C is the correct answer.

electrical potential energy =0.072 j

explanation:

electrical potential energy is given by

u= q δv

q= charge=6 c

δv= potential difference and is given by

δv= e d

e= electric field

d= distance=5 mm=0.005 m

δv=2.4 (0.005)=0.012 v

now electric potential energy= u= q δv

u=6 (0.012)

u=0.072 j
