A pursuit spacecraft from the planet Tatooine is attempting to catch up with a Trade Federation cruiser. As measured by an obser
ver on Tatooine, the cruiser is traveling away from the planet at 0.600c. The pursuit ship is traveling at 0.800c relative to Tatooine, in the same direction as the cruiser. What is the speed of the cruiser relative to the pursuit ship?

Answer:
m =8.81*10^{-6}grams
time t = 52.8 year
Explanation:
GIVEN DATA:
the half life of the CO-60 is, T_1/2 = 5.27 years = 1.663 e+8 s
activity dN/dt = 1 mCi = 3.7 X 10^7 decay/s
activity ,
= ( 3.7 X 10^7 )(1.663*10^8 ) / ln2
= 8.877*10^{16}
Number of moles:
n = N/NA = 8.877*10^{16} / 6.022X10^23 = 1.474*10^{-7} mol
mass of the CO-60 is,
m = n*M = [1.474*10^{-7} mol]*[59.93 grams /mol] = 8.81*10^{-6}grams
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
time t = -[T1/2 / ln2]*ln[N/N0]
= - [5.3 years / ln2]*ln[1x10-6/1x10-3]
= 52.8 year
