    how do I fix my graph in excel?

    I've got this graph. It is radioactive half life graph.

    How do I get excel to express the time as a length of time and not clock time? I don't want it to say 00:00 as the last value on the x axis, it needs to say 24, as in 24 hours later the radionuclide had deteriorated to 78.

    I have to put the vales as a time becuase otherwise they don't scale properly and it just places each value an even distance apart, such as 0-15 minutes has the same scale as 4-24 hours!

    Currently the cells are set to hh:mm

    Driving me up the wall!!

  • how do I make the exponent the subject?

    I have this equation to figure out attenuation.

    1=1o ^ e-(mu)x

    1=intensity of radiation with attenuation

    1o= intensity of radiation without attenuation

    e- base of natual log

    x- thickness of attenuating material

    (mu)- the coefficient of linear attenuation.

    I need to figure out the co efficient mu but I don't know how to rearrange the formula to make mu the subject.

  • Is this answer correct?

    A 3.8x10^4kg space probe is traveling at a speed of 14000m/s through deep space. Retrorockets are fired along the line of motion to reduce the probes speed. The retrockets generate a force of 1.3x10^4N over a distance of 2800km. What is the final speed of the probe?

    We have to use the kinetic work energy theorum.

    Which I have rearranged to be Vf^2 = 2(1/2 m v^2 + (F x s)/m (I actually got the squared over the whole sum on the right but I don't know how to express a square root on my keyboard)

    Vf^2=2(1/2 x 3.8x10^4 x 14000^2 + (-1.3x10 x 2.8x10^6) / 3.8x10^4

    I get the final answer at 13932.17m/s

    Not much of a decrease...??

  • What is the difference between linear and semi-log paper?

    I have to generate a time/activity curve for some data, on both linear and semi-log paper. I don't understand what linear paper is and I can't source any.

    Also when plotting my data on the semi-log on the x axis which is the one that goes up by factors of 10, if my number I want to plot is 1250, do I just plot it at 1250 relative to where it falls on my graph?

    I'm getting confused about the "log" part of it all.

  • What am I doing wrong with this physics question?

    An ocean liner leaves NYC and travels 15.9 degrees north of east for 244km. How far east and how far north has it gone?

    For north I did 244sin15.9= 46.56949386km (not suppose to round off)

    East 244cos15.9= 239.5146806km

    Subbing them back in (square root) n^2+e^2 I got 244km...

    But my answer is wrong. What have I done wrong?

  • Can you help with this simple physics question?? A jetliner, traveling northward, is landing with a speed of 64.8 m/s.?

    A jetliner, traveling northward, is landing with a speed of 64.8 m/s. Once the jet touches down, it has 690 m of runway in which to reduce its speed to 11.4 m/s. Compute the average acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the plane during landing (take the direction of the plane's motion as positive).

    I've used the equation v^2=u^2+2as, making a the subject= v^2-u^2/2s

    V= final velocity (11.4 m/s), U= inital velocity (64.8m/s), S= distance (690m).

    Therefore (11.4^2) - (64.8 ^2) / (2x690)

    I get the answer 2.94860869 m/s^2

    But according to my test, the answer is wrong.

    I have plugged these numbers into online calcultors and they say that is the answer as well, so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

  • How can I keep my pond from growing green?

    I moved into a rental property that had a filthy pond, no pump system, and no power outlets nearby to plug one into.

    We cleaned it up yesterday. It was filthy. It smelt like a sewer, but its all crystal now and I bought some stuff to put in the water that helps keep algae away and takes the chlorine out of the water. Also got some things to create hidey holes for the fish and bought some lilly pads.

    I do not have money to have an outdoor power outlet installed or the money to install a pump. This is a rental property, I have a baby on the way, this baby has significant problems that require surgery, I have no savings and a bust car that needs to be fixed so I can get to where I got to go to get this medical treatment. My partner is working a low income job as there is no other opportunities around in this small town.

    I am only telling you this because last time I asked this questions the only answers I got were ones berating me that I have to spend all this money and get a pump installed.

    I CAN'T!

    So what other things can I do to try and keep the water fresh?

  • How to look after a pond?

    I'm moving into a new place that has a pond! But I have no idea how to make sure it stays nice and doesn't become a stagnant mosquito breeding pit.

    I wanted to put some fish in there once I fix it up, it didn't look like it had been really looked after by the previous tenants. Can someone tell me how I go about fixing this pond (it looked a bit green and over run), how to maintain it, and how to care for my fish in a pond environment?

  • Maaaybe pregnant or I am just getting panicky?

    I am 7 days late, twinge on my right lower abdomen, and my breasts are sore when pressure is applied on the sides and more in their centre, where as I have read that other women swell and are very sensitive to touch. I did a test and got a negative but I have never been late before, at most one day variance of a 28 day cycle.

    I have big boobs anyway and sometimes they do just get a bit sore, but this has been 3 days now. Am I jumping the gun? I don't want to tell my mum my concerns because she will scold me for being irresponsible and then start knitting me blankets and booties, so internet is the next best thing!

  • Why does my internet keep disconnecting?

    I use a mac, connecting to the net wirelessly through airport.

    I go to click something, open a new page, and it won't load. The airport symbol in the menu bar says airport is connected with full signal, but I have to turn it off and turn it back on for it work. This only started happening about a week ago.

    My roommate says her net is working fine. But I seem to have the same problem on my phone and computer.
