It depends on the paper and the environment in which it is stored. Acid free paper kept in a dry environment can last hundreds, if not thousands of year. eg Dead Sea Scrolls
Plastic does not decompose (at least not in the duration of many, many lifetimes.) Paper decomposes very slowly and depending on the type of paper may take anywhere from one to twenty years to do so. This is because plastic is made from oil which technically still means it is an organic substance however it takes millions of years and very specific conditions for oil to be formed from anything organic. Paper on the other hand comes from trees and will decompose much faster, but if you've ever seen a rotting tree stump you will know it will take it's time to do so still.
it's determined by the hardness (and age, wear, environmental conditions, etc...) of a material. many tests are done by manufacturers to see statistaclly when they will break down.
centimeter grid paper is a grid paper having many square boxes each of 1 cm.
AnswerA paper towel can hold as many as 900 pennies and 2 weights before it breaks.
A paper cup typically takes about 3 to 6 months to decompose in a composting environment, where conditions are optimal for breakdown. However, in a landfill, the decomposition process can take much longer, often several years, due to the lack of air and moisture. The presence of plastic lining in many paper cups can also hinder decomposition.
The plastic on a laminated sheet will never break down. After many years, perhaps in sunlight, the plastic will break into smaller pieces. If the paper is exposed to moisture and warmth it should then biodegrade in a few months.

Many thosands of years - unless it is crushed. It reverts to sand.
depending on the alcohol amount. even if its a high amount it will take many many years to do so
Non woven polypropylene is said to be photo-degradable - to be broken down by the sun. Any comments?
Enzymes are used to break them down. There are many enzymes
Aircraft can break down in hundreds of different ways.
One.
The time it takes for a rock to break down can vary greatly depending on factors like the type of rock, climate, and environmental conditions. Some rocks can break down in a few years, while others may take thousands or even millions of years.
Many sorts of enzymes at different parts of the system. In the mouth enzymes to break down sugars, in the stomach enzymes to break down proteins and in the small intestine enzymes to break down fats and sugars.
Cigarette butts can take 1-5 years to biodegrade in natural environments. However, the breakdown process may vary depending on factors such as the specific materials in the filter and the conditions of the environment where it is discarded.
You lay down the paper clip on a sheet of paper and use one of the pencils to hold the clip in place pointed side down. Next you take the other pencil and start drawing the circle. You can find a video on youtube that illustrates it. My son had this as a homework assignment, I found it very useful.
