Following are the uses of radioactive elements in health care:

(a) Technetium-99 is used to image the skeleton and heart muscle in particular, but also for brain, thyroid, lungs etc.

(b) Chromium-51 is used to label red blood cells and quantify gastro- intestinal protein loss.

(d) Erbium-169 is used for relieving arthritis pain in synovial joints.

(e) Iodine-125 is widely used in radioimmuno- assays to show the presence of hormones in tiny quantities.

(f) Iodine-131 is widely used in treating thyroid cancer and in imaging the thyroid.

(g) Iron-59 is used in studies of iron metabolism in the spleen.

This is a good time to review Newton's 3rd law of motion:
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Gravitational force always acts in pairs.
Whatever force the Earth attracts something with,
the thing attracts the Earth with exactly the same force.

If Earth attracts a person with a gravitational force of <span><span>7.0 × 10² </span>newtons,
the person attracts Earth with a gravitational force of 7.0 × 10² newtons.

Answer:

d= 1650 km.

Explanation:

Assuming that sound waves travel along a straight line at a constant speed of 346 m/s, we can find the time needed for the sound to travel the distance of 1.9 m between the astronauts, just applying the definition of average velocity, as follows:

$t = \frac{\Delta x}{v} =\frac{1.9m}{346m/s} = 5.5 msec (1)$

The electromagnetic waves travel in free space at the same speed of light in vacuum ( since light is a electromagnetic wave indeed), i.e., 3*10⁸ m/s.
Applying the same formula than in (1) we can solve for the distance d, as follows:

$d = v*t = 3e8 m/s*5.5e-3s = 1650 km (2)$
