Answer:

The weight of Strontium-90 will reduce to 0.25 Kg in 58 years.

Explanation:

Given -

Radioactive isotope sample of Strontium-90 = 1Kg

Half life of Strontium-90 = 29 years

After first half life (i.e 29 years), the weight of Strontium-90

= \frac{1}{2}\\= 0.5 Kg

After second half life (i.e 58 years), the weight of Strontium-90

= \frac{0.5}{2}\\= 0.25 Kg

Thus, the weight of Strontium-90 will reduce to 0.25 Kg in 58 years.

A planet has a mass of 5.97 x 1024 kg and a radius of 6.38 x 106 m. Find the weight of a 65.0 kg person at 1000 km above the sur
mote1985 [20]

<u>Answer:</u> The weight of the person above the surface of a planet is 635.83N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the weight of a person, we use the formula:

w=mg     ....(1)

where,

w = weight of an object

m = mass of the person = 65kg

g = acceleration due to the gravity of the planet

For the calculation of weight, we need to first find the acceleration due to gravity and for that we use the formula:

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where, g = acceleration due to gravity = ?m/s^2

G = Universal gravitational constant = 6.67\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2

M = mass of the planet = 5.97\times 10^{24}kg

r = distance of the person from the planet = 6.38\times 10^6m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

g=\frac{(6.67\times 10^{-11}kgm/s^2.m^2/kg^2)(5.97\times 10^{24}kg)}{(6.38\times 10^6m)^2}\\\\g=9.782m/s^2

Putting this value in equation 1, we get:

w=65kg\times 9.782m/s^2=635.83N

Hence, the weight of the person above the surface of a planet is 635.83N.
