Answer:

The activity of cobalt-60 after 72 hours is 34.895 MBq

Explanation:

A(t) = Ao(0.5)^t/t1/2

A(t) is the activity of cobalt-60 after time t

Ao is the initial activity of cobalt-60 = 35 MBq

t is time taken to reduce in activity = 72 hours = 72/24 = 3 days

t1/2 is the half-life = 0.693 ÷ decay constant = 0.693 ÷ 0.001/day = 693 days

A(72) = 35(0.5)^3/693 = 35 × 0.5^0.00433 = 35 × 0.997 = 34.895 MBq

Answer:

120 miles per hour.

Explanation:

We need to find the time it takes my parents to drive home from the cottage. Since my father drives at 60 miles per hour, and the cottage is 240 miles from our home, and distance = speed × time. So, time = distance/speed = 240 mi/60 mi/h = 4 h.

So, it will take my father 4 hours to drive home from the cottage.

Since I have 2 hours to prepare for the party, the time left for me to drive to the cottage is 4 - 2 hrs = 2 hrs.

So, I'm supposed to drive to the cottage in at most 2 hours.

The speed at which I must drive in this time period is thus,  speed = distance/time = 240 miles/2 hours = 120 miles per hour.

So, I must drive at a minimum speed of 120 miles per hour.
