4.2 a beta-emitting radioactive isotope called iodine-131 is often released into the air during nuclear
accidents. it can settle on skin and clothing and can be inhaled or ingested. iodine is absorbed in
the body by the thyroid gland, where it is used to make molecules that travel throughout the body.
when the thyroid gland has enough iodine, any excess iodine is removed by the body. if a nuclear
accident occurs at a power plant, workers are asked to ingest potassium iodide tablets which
contain a stable isotope of iodine. explain how this minimises the risk of damage to their bodies.

Part f - example: finding two forces (part i) two dimensional dynamics often involves solving for two unknown quantities in two separate equations describing the total force. the block in (figure 1) has a mass m=10kg and is being pulled by a force f on a table with coefficient of static friction îľs=0.3. four forces act on it: the applied force f (directed î¸=30â above the horizontal). the force of gravity fg=mg (directly down, where g=9.8m/s2). the normal force n (directly up). the force of static friction fs (directly left, opposing any potential motion). if we want to find the size of the force necessary to just barely overcome static friction (in which case fs=îľsn), we use the condition that the sum of the forces in both directions must be 0. using some basic trigonometry, we can write this condition out for the forces in both the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively, as: fcosî¸â’îľsn=0 fsinî¸+nâ’mg=0 in order to find the magnitude of force f, we have to solve a system of two equations with both f and the normal force n unknown. use the methods we have learned to find an expression for f in terms of m, g, î¸, and îľs (no n).
