Centripetal force is given by F= mv²/r.
Given: m = 0.5 kg, v = 3 m/s, r = 0.5 m
Putting values,
F= mv²/r = 0.5× 3²/0.5 = 9 N
Iodine-131 has a half life of 8 days, so half of it is gone every 8 days.
10 grams of iodine-131 is left for 24 days.
At 8 days: 10/2=5 grams left
At 16 days: 5/2=2.5 grams left
At 24 days: 2.5/2=1.25 grams left.
**
Your mistake is that you stopped at 16 days.
From the law of conservation of momentum
m1u1+ m2u2= m1v1+ m2v2
110*8+ 110*-10= 110*-10 + 110* v2
v2= 8 m/sec
55 Kg has a weight of 55x9.8= 539 N
That is equal to the Normal force.
The static friction = 0.19 x 539 = 102.4 N
