Answer:
1 Hour...
Explanation:
If It’s 960 Km/h, then it will take 1 hour to fly there.
Answer:
= 72900 years
Explanation:
- The half-life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half the original amount.
- The half-life of plutonium-239 is 24300 years which means it takes 24300 years to decay by half the original amount.
To calculate the time taken for a mass of 8 kg to decay to 1 kg we use;
New mass = Original mass x (1/2) ^n, where n is the number of half-lives
Therefore;
1 kg = 8 kg × (1/2)^n
1/8 = (1/2)^n
solving for n;
n =3
Therefore;
Time = 3 × 24300 years
= 72900 years
It will, therefore, take 72900 years for 8 kg of plutonium-239 to decay to 1 kg.
