← A radioactive isotope has a decay constant of 0.0693 per day. Taking ln 2 = 0.693, its half-life, in days, is ____.
A stone is thrown horizontally at 20 m/s from the top of a cliff 45 m high, as shown in the figure. Ignore air resistance and take g = 10 m/s². The time after which its velocity makes 45° with the horizontal, and its distance from the point of throwing at that moment, are →
