A water-skier is moving at a speed of 12.0 m/s . When she skis in the same direction as a traveling wave, she springs upward eve

ry 0.600 s because of the wave crests. When she skis in the direction opposite to that in which the wave moves, she springs upward every 0.500 s in response to the crests. The speed of the skier is greater than the speed of the wave. Determine (a) the speed and (b) the wavelength of the wave.

Strontium−90 is one of the products of the fission of uranium−235. This strontium isotope is radioactive, with a half-life of 28
Ludmilka [50]

Answer : The time passed in years is 20.7 years.

Explanation :

Half-life = 28.1 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{28.1\text{ years}}

k=2.47\times 10^{-2}\text{ years}^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 2.47\times 10^{-2}\text{ years}^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = ?

a = initial amount of the reactant  = 1.00 g

a - x = amount left after decay process = 0.600 g

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

t=\frac{2.303}{2.47\times 10^{-2}}\log\frac{1.00}{0.600}

t=20.7\text{ years}

Therefore, the time passed in years is 20.7 years.

A rocket ship leaves Earth's atmosphere. Its initial velocity is less than its final velocity. What is this an example of?
77julia77 [94]
I believe this would be an example of positive acceleration as the initial velocity of the rocket is less than the final velocity, indicating that the rocket is accelerating and thus is positive.

Foraging bees often move in straight lines away from and toward their hives. Suppose a bee starts at its hive and flies 500 m du
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The distance of the bee from the hive is 740 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Bee starts fly 500 m due east, 430 m west and 670 m east.

The direction of the bee

500 m in positive direction

430 m in negative direction

670 m in positive direction

We need to calculate the net distance

Using formula of distance

D=500-430+670

D=740\ m

Hence, The distance of the bee from the hive is 740 m.
