Answer:

Beta minus decay

Explanation:

Beta decay is due to a weak nuclear interaction, it takes place in the atomic nucleus and occurs when a neutron is converted to a proton, or a proton into a neutron. When a neutron is converted to a proton an electron and an electronic antineutrino are emitted from the nucleus, this is called beta minus decay.

A star has a spectrum shift exhibiting a red shift. What can you conclude about the distance from earth to that star
Akimi4 [234]
Red shift in the spectrum of a star is always taken to mean that the source of the light is moving away from us.

That's the whole basis for the notion of the expanding universe, since we don't know of any other mechanism that can shift light toward longer wavelengths.

Which trait shared by dolphins and bats possibly lead to the evolution of echolocation in these two animal groups? the need to m
Lisa [10]

A trait shared by dolphins and bats that possibly led to the evolution of echolocation in these two animal groups will be the need to move quickly through dark environments.

<h3>What is the evolution of echolocation?</h3>

Our understanding of the evolution of echolocation in bats has shifted as a result of recent molecular phylogenies. These phylogenies imply that bats with advanced echolocation

According to one interpretation of these trees, laryngeal echolocation originated in the ancestor of all living bats. Echolocation may have been lost in Old World fruit bats

The vast adaptive radiation in echolocation call design is substantially controlled by ecology, demonstrating how environmental perceptual problems influence call design.

A trait shared by dolphins and bats that possibly led to the evolution of echolocation in these two animal groups will be the need to move quickly through dark environments.

Hence option A is correct.

To learn more about the evolution of echolocation refer to the link;

Oceanic water particles mainly move in circles; is this movement greater on the ocean's surface or below the surface? Explain yo
goblinko [34]
I think that the oceanic water particles mainly move in circles greater in the oceans surface because of how big the waves can be and how wind and air impact the motion. The water particles move more on the surface because of the other factors that impact it such as people, wind, air, etc...

A 60 kg student in a rowboat on a still lake decides to dive off the back of the boat. The studen'ts horizontal aceleration is 2
TiliK225 [7]
As per the third law of Newton, the force exerted by the boat over the student is equal in magnitude to the force that the student exerted on the boat.

So, calculate the force on the student using the second law of Newton, Force = mass * acceleration.

Force on the student = 60 kg * 2.0 m/s^2 = 120 N.

=> horizontal force exerted by the student on the boat = 120 N

Answer: option d. 120 N. toward the back of the boat.

Of course it is toward the back because that is where the student jumped from..

Consider two planets of mass m and 2m,
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Part a)

\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 10.125

Part b)

\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \sqrt{\frac{4.5r}{r}} = 2.12

Part c)

\frac{T_1}{T_2} = 9.54

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the gravitational force is given as

F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

so we will have to find the ratio of force on two planets due to star

so here we have

\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{m_1r_2^2}{m_2r_1^2}

\frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{m (4.5r)^2}{(2m) r}

\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 10.125

Part b)

Orbital speed is given as

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

so the ratio of two orbital speed is given as

\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \frac{r_2}{r_1}

\frac{v_1}{v_2} = \sqrt{\frac{4.5r}{r}} = 2.12

Part c)

Time period is given as

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}

so the ratio of two time period is given as

\frac{T_1}{T_2} = \sqrt{\frac{r_1^3}{r_2^3}}

\frac{T_1}{T_2} = \sqrt{\frac{4.5r^3}{r^3}}

\frac{T_1}{T_2} = 9.54
