Chapter 32, Problem 74GP
Moon Rocks In one of the rocks brought back from the Moon, it Is found that 80.5% of the initial potassium-40 in the rock has decayed to argon-40. (a) If the half-life for this decay is 1.20 × 109 years, how old is the rock? (b) How much longer will it take before only 10.0% of the original potassium-40 is still present in the rock?

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a helically-shaped bacterium that is usually found in the stomach. It burrows through the gastric mucous
lining to establish an infection in the stomach's epithelial cells (see photo). Approximately 90% of the people infected with H. pylori will
never experience symptoms. Others may develop peptic ulcers and show symptoms of chronic gastritis. The method of motility of H.
pylori is a prokaryotic flagellum attached to the back of the bacterium that rigidly rotates like a propeller on a ship. The flagellum is
composed of proteins and is approximately 40.0 nm in diameter and can reach rotation speeds as high as 1.50 x 103 rpm. If the speed
of the bacterium is 10.0 μm/s, how far has it moved in the time it takes the flagellum to rotate through an angular displacement of 5.00
* 10² rad?
