A visitor is staying in a tent that is 11 kilometers west of the closest point on a shoreline to a coral reef. The coral reef is

3 kilometers due south of the shoreline. The visitor plans to travel from the tent to the coral reef by running and swimming. If the visitor runs at a rate of 7 kmph and swims at a rate of 2 kmph, how far should the visitor run to minimize the time it takes to reach the coral reef

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question, it says that their tent is 11 km away from the shore which is also 3 km away from the coral reef. Essentially, the tent us 11 + 3 km away from the coral reef, and that's 14 km. He has to run at a rate of 7 know to cover an 11 km length and swim at 2 kmph to cover a 3 km length.

All the visitor needs to do is run more than 7 kmph to reduce the days time. For example, running at 11 kmph takes him or her exactly 1 hour to reach the shore, before taking another swim of about an hour to reach the reef

Write three nuclear equations to represent the nuclear decay sequence that begins with the alpha decay of u-235 followed by a be
vazorg [7]

Answer:

We know that in the decay process the sum of molecular number as well as molecular weight should be constant.

The following three reaction are as follows

1 .

Alpha decay  of parent nuclide

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U} \rightarrow _{90}^{231}\textrm{Th}+_{2}^{4}\textrm{alpha }

The molecular number of alpha particle is 2 and molecular weight is 4 g/mol.

2.

Beta decay of daughter nuclide

_{90}^{231}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{231}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^{0}\textrm{beta}+v

v is the neutrino emission,The charge on the beta particle is zero.

3.

Alpha decay

_{91}^{231}\textrm{Pa}\rightarrow_{89}^{227}\textrm{Pa}+_{2}^{4}\textrm{alpha}

A bicycle is heading West. It goes 5000m in 500s what's its velocity
dybincka [34]
There are several information's of immense importance already given in the question. Based on the given information's the answer to the question can easily be determined.
Distance covered by the bicycle = 5000 meter
Time taken by the bicycle to reach the distance = 500 second.
Velocity of the bicycle = Distance / Time taken
                                   = 5000/500 meter/second
                                   = 50 meter/second
So the velocity of the bicycle is 50 meter per second. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. In future you can always use this procedure for solving similar problems.

How does wavelength of radio wave compare to the wavelength of a visible light wave?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The wavelength of radio waves is much longer than the wavelength of visible light waves

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are periodic oscillations of the electric and the magnetic fields, occuring in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

Electromagnetic waves are the only waves able to travel in a vacuum; they travel at the speed of light:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Electromagnetic waves are also classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From longest to shortest wavelength, we have: (with the corresponding wavelength written in the brackets):

Radio waves (>1 m)

Microwaves (1 mm - 1 m)

Infrared (750 nm - 1 mm)

Visible light (380 nm - 750 nm)

Ultraviolet (10 nm - 380 nm)

X-rays (0.01 nm - 10 nm)

Gamma rays (<0.01 nm)

So from the table, we can see that:

The wavelength of radio waves is much longer than the wavelength of visible light waves.
