Answer:
29 counts per minute (29 cpm)
Explanation:
The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time needed for the activity of the sample to halve.The half-life of Francium-223 is exactly 22 minutes: this means that its activity after 22 minutes becomes exactly half of its initial value. Since the initial activity of this sample of francium-223 was 58 cpm, the activity after 22 minutes will be

Answer:
The reason is because both are exposed to a virtually infinite heat sink, due to the virtually infinite mass and of the surrounding environment, compared to the sizes of either the cup or the kettle such that the equilibrium temperature, reached is the same for both the cup and the kettle as given by the relation;
Due to the large heat sink, T₂ - T₁ ≈ 0 such that the temperature of the kettle and that of the cup will both cool to the temperature of the environment
