Three swimmers can swim equally fast relative to the water. They have a race to see who can swim across a flowing river in the l

east time. Swimmer A swims perpendicular to the current and lands on the opposite shore downstream, because the current has swept him in that direction. Swimmer B swims upstream at angle to the current, so that when she reaches the other side, she is straight across from where she started. Swimmer C swims downstream at an angle theta in an attempt to take advantage of the current. Who crosses the river in the least time?

An atom undergoes nuclear decay, but its atomic number is not changed.
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

A. Gamma decay

Explanation:

A form of nuclear decay in which the atomic number is unchanged is a gamma decay.

The atom has undergone a gamma decay.

In a gamma decay, no changes occur to the mass and atomic number of the substance.

  • Gamma rays have zero atomic and mass numbers.
  • When they cause decay, they cause no change to the mass and atomic numbers.
  • They simply produce gamma rays during such reactions and these rays are very energetic.

Question 1 of 7What is the change in internal energy if 90 J of thermal energy is added to asystem, and the system does 30 J of
Dmitriy789 [7]

Given:

The thermal energy added to the system is Q = 90 J

The work done by the system on the surroundings is W = 30 J

To find the change in internal energy.

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics, the change in internal energy can be calculated by the formula

\Delta U=\text{ Q-W}

On substituting the values, the change in internal energy will be

\begin{gathered} \Delta U\text{ =90-30} \\ =60\text{ J} \end{gathered}

Final Answer: The chage in internal energy is 60 J (option D)
