Uranium, an important component of both nuclear weapons and nuclearreactors, has two major isotopes, U-238, which has a half-life of approximately billion years, and U-235, which has a half-life of approximately million years. Both were present in equal amounts at the time of thecreation of the Earth, billion years ago. How many years after the creationof the Earth had the amount of radiation from uranium decayed to half theamount present at the time of the creation of the Earth

Imagine that a new planet is discovered with two moons of equal mass: moon a and moon b. the mass of the new planet is greater than the combined mass of its moons. moon a is farther away from the new planet than moon b. what is the planet's gravitational pull on moon a compared to the planet's gravitational pull on moon b? the planet's gravity repels moon a with a greater force than it repels moon b, which is why moon a is farther away. the gravitational pull on moon b is greater than on moon a because moon b is closer to the new planet than moon a. the gravitational pull on moon b is greater than on moon a because moon b is farther away from the new planet than moon a. the gravitational pull on moon a is the same as the gravitational pull on moon b because distance does not affect the planet's gravity.
