From the fact that Strontium-90 has a half-life of approximately 28 years, the amount remaining in 1933 would be 3.0 x 2^2 = 12.0 g.

How does the distance between two-interacting bodies affect the force of gravity?

Assuming the (toatal) mass doesnt alter Treat original distance as 1, the original force as 1 and new distance (d) as direct comparison to the old, then the force of gravity is: 1 / d2 Example: If the new distance is three times the original, then: f = 1 / 32 f = 1 / 9 = 0.111 times the original force. Example: If the new distance is half the original distance, then: f = 1 / 0.52 f = 1 / 0.25 = 4 times the the original force.


What happens to an objects density when it obsorbs water?

If the object's original density is less than water (sponge, for example) - the density will increase. If the object's original density is greater than that of water (though I cannot think of anything that fits that category that is porous enough to absorb water), the density will decrease.
