In normal Newtonian physics, it is usually considered that the Moon revolves around the Earth. With a lower mass, the Moon is affected by the Earth’s gravity more than the Earth is affected by the Moon. The two bodies orbit around the barycenter, a point of gravitational equilibrium approximately 3/4 of the Earth’s radius from the center of the planet.

The motions of these celestial bodies depend on your point of reference, and the mass of the bodies. The Earth, Moon, Sun, and the other planets are traveling in eccentric paths around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is itself moving relative to the other galaxies in the vicinity.

Isotope b has a half-life of 3 days. a scientist measures out 100 grams of this substance. after 6 days has passed, the scientis

Brilliant_brown [7]

So half life is the time taken for a sample to decay to half its original mass, its a constant and applies to any original mass, it could be 5g or 1kg, it will take the same amount of time for the original mass to half. In this case the half life is 3 days.

After 3 days the sample will be at half its original mass, now 50g.

Now we can treat the 50g as if its a new sample. After another 3 days (6 days in total) there will be half of 50g left, = 25g.

dangina [55]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

A 7.00 L tank at $21.4^oC$ is filled with 5.43 g of sulfur hexafluoride gas and 14.2 g of sulfur tetrafluoride gas. You can assume both gases behave as ideal gases under these conditions. Calculate the mole fraction and partial pressure of each gas. Round each of your answers to significant digits.
