Rubidium 87 has a half life of 49 billion years so it would be 3 half lives. There should, therefore be 1/8 remaining.

However, it is believed that the universe is less than 15 billion years old. So finding any object that is 147 billion years old is - to put it mildly - totally impossible!

What would happen if an object is immersed in a fluid and the object and the fluid had the same density?

The object would behave as a part of fluid and it will remain where it is kept.


If a force of 90 Newtons was exerted on an object and no work was done would the object gain momentum?

it would remain motionless.


Would a 0.85g object float sink or remain suspended in tap water?

That depends entirely on the volume of the object


Would there have to be an Unbalanced force acting on moving object?

There would have to be an unbalanced force put an object in motion but once in motion no force is necessary for it to remain in motion


What would happen to the mass of an object if you took it to the deepest valley on earth?

It will remain the same.


An object that sinks into a fluid is?

As an object sinks in a fluid the buoyant force on it would remain the same.


How long would it take to count one billions objects weighed 0.00000001 gram?

To count one billion objects, it would take you however long it takes to count one object times one billion. It does not matter how much mass the object has, so your statement of mass is meaningless.


Can an object that has balanced forces acting on it be standing still?

If there are any forces acting on a stationary object, then they must be balanced, or it would no longer remain stationary.It is also possible that the object is already moving. In the forces are balanced on a moving object, the object would continue moving at the same speed and direction (velocity) that it already had.


How can an object be moving if there is no unbalanced force on it?

Unbalanced forces cause acceleration, not movement. An object can move at a constant speed with no net force acting on it. An example would be an object falling at terminal velocity.It would have to have been already moving. Newton's First law states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion with the same speed and direction unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force. The second part of the law explains this.


If Earth were replaced by an object with the same mass but much smaller in size would the moon continue to orbit the new object fall into it or fly off into space?

It would continue to orbit, as the gravity at the distance to the moon would remain the same.


What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to at planet with twice the gravity of earth?

Nothing would happen to mass, but as weight is technically a force due to gravity, based on mass, the weight would be doubled, but again mass would remain the same.


Would an object with a density of 1.0g per ml float sink or remain suspended in water?

An object of 1.0 g per ml will remain suspended in water because the density of water is 1.0 anything below 1.0 will float and anything above 1.0 will sink. There fore, 1.0 will remain suspended because that is the buoyant point.
