- I'll assume you mean E = M(0) exp(-At)

- Have you read the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy? There is a race of
- superintelligent beings that wish to know the ultimate answer of life the
- universe and everything, so they build a computer. They ask the computer to
- give them "The ultimate answer to l, u, & e." After several billion years,
- the computer answers 42. At this, the race was outraged, but the computer
- pointed out to them that they didn't really know what the question was. So,
- Dr. Abian, to what is the answer
-
- E = M(0) exp(-At)?
-
- Please remember to answer in the form of a question. If the question is
- How high will a 1-kg ball go if thrown straight up at 20 m/s at sea level?
- then you lose. Since that is the last question of mine that you attempted
- to answer, I have no idea to what your "answer" applies.
