To solve this problem we will apply the theorem given in the conservation of energy, by which we have that it is conserved and that in terms of potential and kinetic energy, in their initial moment they must be equal to the final potential and kinetic energy. This is,
Replacing the 5100MJ for satellite as initial potential energy, 4200MJ for initial kinetic energy and 5700MJ for final potential energy we have that
Therefore the final kinetic energy is 3600MJ
It will take 267 milliseconds for a sample of radon-218 to decay from 99 grams to 0. 50 grams.
We know that half life of a first order reaction is given by:
where k = rate of reaction
Given half life = 35 milliseconds
So from this we get k = 0.0198
Now we know that rate of first order reaction is given by:
where t= time
R'= initial amount = 99 g
R= final amount= 0.50 g
k= rate of reaction = 0.0198
Putting values of these in above equation we get t=267 milliseconds.
i.e. It will take 267 milliseconds for a sample of radon-218 to decay from 99 grams to 0. 50 grams.

One of the equations for force is: Force = mass × acceleration.
The force and mass are given and so:
F=15N
m=10kg
By plugging in these values we obtain:
So the acceleration is a=1.5m/s^2
