Answer:

80.386 degrees

Explanation:

We use the cosine equation here (which is the adjacent side of the unknown angle divided by the hypotenuse

The adjacent side = 699ft

The hypotenuse = 1034ft

using cos∅ = Adjacent/hypotenuse

where ∅ is the unknown angle

cos ∅ = 699/1034 = 0.167

∅ = arccos 0.167 = 80.368°

As easy as one can imagine

kondor19780726 [428]
Define unit vectors as follows:
\hat{i} is in the eastern direction.
\hat{j} is in the northern direction.

The position of the first bird is
\vec{a} = -3.6 \, \hat{i} + 1.8 \, \hat{j}

The position of the second bird is
\vec{b} = - 1.8 \, \hat{i} + 3.6 \, \hat{j}

Let θ = the angle between the net displacement vector for the two birds.
By definition,
\vec{a} . \vec{b} = |a| |b| cos\theta \\\\ \theta = cos^{-1} ( \frac{\vec{a}.\vec{b}}{|a||b|} )

\vec{a}.\vec{b} = (-3.6)(-1.8)+(3.6)(1.8) = 12.96
|a| =  \sqrt{3.24+12.96} =4.025
Similarly,
|b| = 4.025

Therefore
\theta = cos^{-1}  \frac{12.96}{4.025^{2}} =36.9^{o}

Answer:  36.9°

What would be the daughter product of the beta decay of lead-212 and what would be the daughter product of the alpha decay of po
kati45 [8]

Answer:

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82

Explanation:

Beta decay occurs when a neutron emits an electron and an anti neutrino from the atomic nucleus, therefore the atomic number of the material increases by one unit.

           Pb + e + ν → Bi

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

In alpha decay, a helium nucleus is emitted from the nucleus of the atom, therefore the atomic number decreases by two units.

         Po +α → Pb

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82
