Americium-241 is used in smoke detectors. It undergoes alpha decay with a half life of 432 years. The alpha particles ionize some of the air near the americium-241 source, and these charged ions are collected on a metal plate that has a small voltage applied to it. The collected particles cause a small electric current to flow in the detector. If smoke particles get in between the americium-241 source and the detector and reduce the current, the alarm is triggered. A typical smoke detector experiences 370000 alpha decays each second. How much time is needed for the number of decays to reduce to 93000 decays per second?

16. a brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 800 n on him. the mass of the losing player plus equipment is 90.0 kg, and he is accelerating at 1.20m/s2 size 12{1 "." "20"" m/s" rsup { size 8{2} } } {} backward. (a) what is the force of friction between the losing player’s feet and the grass? (b) what force does the winning player exert on the ground to move forward if his mass plus equipment is 110 kg? (c) draw a sketch of the situation showing the system of interest used to solve each part. for this situation, draw a free-body diagram and write the net force equation.
