10% =  1/2 ^n
*where n is number of half lives to reach 10%

n = ln10/ln2

and multiply by 25 gives 83.05 years to 2dp

Hope this helps

Objects with masses of 181 kg and 712 kg are separated by 0.442 m. A 72.6 kg mass is placed midway between them. 0.442 m b b 181
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The Force exerted by the two objects will be same and 4,401,189.49  × 10−11 N

Explanation:

Let m1 be the mass of the first object and m2 be the mass of the second object and the distance between them be d. Then

m1= 181kg

m2= 712 kg

d= 0.442 m

G is the gravitational Constant

According to Newtons Law Gravitational Force is given by

F=G m1 m2 /d²

F= 6.672 × 10−11 ×181×712/(0.442)²

F=  859,576.24  × 10−11/0.195364

F=  4,401,189.49  × 10−11 N

The Force exerted by the two masses on the third mass will be same and 4,401,189.49  × 10−11 N
