The combination of decay processes that would convert U-239 into PU- 239 is beta decay followed by another beta decay. There are two different types of beta decay (positive and negative beta decays) they both occur simultaneously in order to move the atoms towards stability.

Heather and Matthew walk with an average velocity of 0.98 m/s eastward. If it takes them 34 min to walk to the store, what is th
TEA [102]

Answer:

D= 1999.2 m

Explanation:

Given that

Average velocity ,v= 0.98 m/s

time ,t= 34 min

We know that

1 min  = 60 s

That is why

t= 34 x 60 =2040 s

We know that

Displacement = Average velocity x time

D= v t

Now by putting the values in the above equation

D= 0.98 x 2040 m

D= 1999.2 m (eastward)

The direction of the displacement will be towards eastward.

That is why the displacement will be 1999.2 m or we can say that 1.9992 km.

Why do ice cubes always float at the top of a glass of water?
AnnZ [28]

Because water is a very very very very very unusual substance ... It's
the only known substance whose solid form is less dense than its liquid
form near the same temperature.

In other words, water is the only known substance for which a solid lump
of it floats in a liquid glass of it.

If that were not true ... if the behavior of the density of water around its
freezing temperature were the same as the density of all other known
substances ... then life on Earth would be impossible.

Think about that for a while !  Ya gotta admire whoever it was that designed water !
