To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. Momentum is defined as the product between mass and velocity of each body. And its conservation as the equality between the initial and final momentum. Mathematically described as
Here
= Mass of big fish
= Mass of small fish
= Velocity of big fish
= Velocity of small fish
= Final Velocity
The big fish eats small fish and the final velocity is zero. Rearrange the equation for the initial velocity of small fish we have
Replacing we have,
The negative sign indicates that the small fish is swimming in the direction opposite to that of the big fish.
Therefore the speed of the small fish is 10m/s
Answer:
Thus the time taken is calculated as 387.69 years
Solution:
As per the question:
Half life of 
= 28.5 yrs
Now,
To calculate the time, t in which the 99.99% of the release in the reactor:
By using the formula:
where
N = No. of nuclei left after time t
= No. of nuclei initially started with
(Since, 100% - 99.99% = 0.01%)
Thus
Taking log on both the sides:
t = 387.69 yrs
The different types of radiation in electromagnetic spectrum are compared by the amount of energy found in the photons.
Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio-waves. Infrared photons still have more energy, then comes visible, ultraviolet, x-rays and the most energetic of all, gamma rays.
The energy associated with electromagnetic radiation is proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength. So, electromagnetic waves with shorter wavelengths have more energy.
On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, which have wavelengths billions of times longer than those of visible light. On the other end of the spectrum are gamma rays with wavelengths billions of times smaller than those of visible light.

(a) The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the radiations of photons of wavelength 21 cm.
(b) The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the absorption lines present in the light from distant stars, which must be caused by a medium of density and temperature other than that of the stars emitting the lights.
<h3>
What is interstellar medium?</h3>
Interstellar medium is the matter and radiation that exist in the space between the star systems in a galaxy.
<h3>Evidence that interstellar medium contains both gas and dust</h3>
- The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the radiations of photons of wavelength 21 cm.
- The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the absorption lines present in the light from distant stars, which must be caused by a medium of density and temperature other than that of the stars emitting the lights.
