Answer:

The west axis component of walk is, A = 5 miles

The east axis component of walk is, B = 8 miles

Explanation:

Given data,

The displacement of hiker south of west, R = 9.4 miles

The angle formed south of west, Ф = 60°

The vector components along,

                   the west axis is

                                      A = R cosФ

                                       A = 9.4 x cos 60

                                       A = 4.7 miles

                                        A = 5 miles

The west axis component of walk is, A = 5 miles

                    the south axis is

                                      B = R sinФ

                                       B = 9.4 sin 60

                                        B = 8.14 miles

                                         B = 8 miles

The east axis component of walk is, B = 8 miles

If the temperature of a volume of ideal gas increases for 100°C to 200°C, what happens to the average kinetic energy of the mole
mina [271]

Answer:\Delta E=2.0715\times 10^{-21} J

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of the gas is increased from 100 to 200

Also we know that average kinetic energy of the molecules is

E=\frac{3}{2}\cdot \frac{R}{N_A}T

Where

R=Gas constant

N_A=Avogadro's number

T=Temperature in kelvin

\frac{R}{N_A}=1.381\times 10^{-23}

So kinetic energy increases by

\Delta E=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.381\times 10^{-23}\left ( 200-100\right )

\Delta E=2.0715\times 10^{-21} J

The half-life of the radioactive element beryllium-13 is 5 × 10-10 seconds, and half-life of the radioactive element beryllium-1
telo118 [61]
<h2>Answer: The half-life of beryllium-15 is 400 times greater than the half-life of beryllium-13.</h2>

Explanation:

The half-life h of a radioactive isotope refers to its decay period, which is the average lifetime of an atom before it disintegrates.

In this case, we are given the half life of two elements:

beryllium-13: h_{B-13}=5(10)^{-10}s=0.0000000005s

beryllium-15: h_{B-15}=2(10)^{-7}s=0.0000002s

As we can see, the half-life of beryllium-15 is greater than the half-life of beryllium-13, but how great?

We can find it out by the following expression:

h_{B-15}=X.h_{B-13}

Where X is the amount we want to find:

X=\frac{h_{B-15}}{h_{B-13}}

X=\frac{2(10)^{-7}s}{5(10)^{-10}s}

Finally:

X=400

Therefore:

The half-life of beryllium-15 is <u>400 times greater than</u> the half-life of beryllium-13.

Earth can be modeled with five layers based on the strengths and physical properties of the materials in them. Put the layers in
andre [41]

Answer:

Crust, Upper mantle, mantle, outer core, inner core

Explanation:

The Earth's layers have been clasified in 5 according to the materials that conform them, theri physical properties, strengths and also their state of matter. We all know how the outer layer of the Earth looks like, but if we start to dig a huge hole we are going to see different types por materials due to a change in pressure, temperature, and other factors. At the very center of the Earth there's what's called "core". The core is liquid and at extremely high temperatures. This is because of the enormous amount of pressure the rest of the Earth is putting it under. So, if we list the different layers of the Earth according to the materials they are made of, from the Earth's surface to the core, the answer is:

1) Crust (surface)

2) Upper Mantle

3) Mantle

4) Outer core

5) Inner core

In some books you may find a layer called Lithosphere. Tis layer consists not only of the crust, but also it contains the transition zone between the upper mantle and the crust.
