Lesson 10 Real Life Application of Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

The document discusses several applications of exponential and logarithmic functions including the decay of radioactive isotopes based on their half-lives. It provides examples of calculating the remaining amount of isotopes like thallium-201 and polonium-218 after a given period of time has passed based on their known half-lives. The document also demonstrates using exponential decay to calculate time of death by measuring the cooling of a body's temperature over time.

Real Life Application of Exponential

The United States detonated two nuclear weapons over the Japanese
cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August 1945,
respectively. The two bombings killed between 129,000 and 226,000
people, most of whom were civilians, and remain the only use of
nuclear weapons in armed conflict.

On 6 August, a Little Boy was dropped on Hiroshima; three days


later, a Fat Man was dropped on Nagasaki. Over the next two to four
months, the effects of the atomic bombings killed between 90,000
and 146,000 people in Hiroshima and 39,000 and 80,000 people in
Nagasaki; roughly half occurred on the first day.
"Fat Man" is the codename
for the type of nuclear bomb
 that was 
detonated over the Japanes

 by the United States on 9
August 1945. It was the
second of the only two

"Little Boy" was the codename for the type
of atomic bomb dropped on the Japanese
city of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945 during 
World War II. It was the first nuclear
weapon used in warfare. The bomb was
dropped by the Boeing B-29 Superfortress 
Enola Gay piloted by Colonel 
Paul W. Tibbets, Jr., commander of the 
509th Composite Group of the United
States Army Air Forces and Captain 
Robert A. Lewis. It exploded with an energy
of approximately 15 kilotons of TNT (63 TJ)
and caused widespread death and
destruction throughout the city. The 
Hiroshima bombing was the second man-
made nuclear explosion in history, after the 
Trinity test.
Who is the brain of the atomic bomb?

Albert Einstein wrote to the US pleading with the government to build an atomic bomb 80 years ago. Here's what he
said.
•Albert Einstein was famously a pacifist, but he
signed a letter to US President Franklin D. Roosevelt
in 1939 urging him to develop the atomic bomb.

•Einstein and other leading scientists said they were


concerned that Nazi Germany could use nuclear
energy to build an "extremely powerful bombs of a
new type" that could destroy entire ports.

•The letter helped pave the way for the


Manhattan Project, which developed the •While Einstein later said he felt he had no
atomic bombs dropped on the Japanese choice but to encourage the US to develop the
cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that technology, he called the letter his "one great

The Chernobyl disaster was a 
nuclear accident that occurred on Saturday 26
April 1986, at the No. 4 reactor in the 
Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, near the city of 
Pripyat in the north of the Ukrainian SSR in the 
Soviet Union.[1][2] It is considered the worst
nuclear disaster in history both in terms of cost
and casualties,[3] and is one of only two nuclear
energy accidents rated at seven—the maximum
severity—on the 
International Nuclear Event Scale, the other
being the 2011 
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan.
The initial emergency response, together with
later decontamination of the environment,
ultimately involved more than 500,000 
personnel and cost an estimated 18 billion 
Soviet rubles—roughly US$68 billion in 2019,
