Radioactivity is a random process that happens naturally as the isotopes in particular elements decay.

The isotopes Continue to break down over time.

Answer:

As its name implies, radioactivity is the act of emitting radiation spontaneously. This is done by an atomic nucleus that, for some reason, is unstable; it "wants" to give up some energy in order to shift to a more stable configuration.

Carl used 10 2/9 an inch of string to tie a parcel and another 5 1/4 of an inch of string to tie a box, how much string is left

NARA [144]

Answer:

20-(10 2/9)-(5 1/4)= 4.52777777778 inches decimal or 163/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

20 - (10 + 2/9) - (5 + 1/4)

Put 10 + 2/9 over the common denominator 9. 10 + 2/9 = (9×10)/9 + 2/9:

20 - (9×10)/9 + 2/9 - (5 + 1/4)

9×10 = 90:

20 - (90/9 + 2/9) - (5 + 1/4)

90/9 + 2/9 = (90 + 2)/9:

20 - (90 + 2)/9 - (5 + 1/4)

90 + 2 = 92:

20 - 92/9 - (5 + 1/4)

Put 5 + 1/4 over the common denominator 4. 5 + 1/4 = (4×5)/4 + 1/4:

20 - 92/9 - (4×5)/4 + 1/4

4×5 = 20:

20 - 92/9 - (20/4 + 1/4)

20/4 + 1/4 = (20 + 1)/4:

20 - 92/9 - (20 + 1)/4

20 + 1 = 21:

20 - 92/9 - 21/4

Put 20 - 92/9 - 21/4 over the common denominator 36. 20 - 92/9 - 21/4 = (36×20)/36 + (4 (-92))/36 + (9 (-21))/36:

(36×20)/36 + (4 (-92))/36 + (9 (-21))/36

9 (-21) = -189:

720/36 - 368/36 + (-189)/36

720/36 - 368/36 - 189/36 = (720 - 368 - 189)/36:

(720 - 368 - 189)/36

Both the La Plata river dolphin (Pontoporia blainvillei) and

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

1. A sperm whale is 3 orders of magnitude heavier than a La Plata river dolphin; 2. The radius of the larger ball is one (1) order of magnitude bigger than the radius of the smaller ball; 3. The volume of the larger ball is 3 orders of magnitude bigger than the volume of the smaller ball.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we expressed a number as:

$\\ N = a * 10^{b}$ (1)

Where

$\\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{10}} \leq a < \sqrt{10}$ (2)

$\\ 1 \leq a < 10$ (3)

Then, b represents the order of magnitude of such a number (Order of magnitude (2020), in Wikipedia).

The order of magnitude can be defined as "...the smallest power of ten needed to represent a quantity" (Weisstein, Eric W. "Order of Magnitude". From MathWorld--A Wolfram Web Resource).

Having gathered all this information, we can proceed as follows:

<h3>First case</h3>

The La Plata river dolphin weighs between 30 and 50kg and the sperm whale weighs between 35,000 and 40,000kg.

Then, considering (1) and (3) to express the dolphin and whale's weight (since in this way the order of magnitude is the same as the exponent part in the scientific notation):

$\\ 30kg \leq Dolphin_{weight} \leq 50kg$

$\\ 3*10^{1}kg \leq Dolphin_{weight} \leq 5*10^{1}kg$

$\\ 35000kg \leq Whale_{weight} \leq 40000kg$

$\\ 3.5*10^{4}kg \leq Whale_{weight} \leq 4.0*10^{4}kg$

Since the range for the weights are in the same order of magnitude for both dolphin and whale (considering the definition above):

$\\ Dolphin_{weight} = 10^{1}\;(order\;of\;magnitude=1)$

$\\ Whale_{weight} = 10^{4}\;(order\;of\;magnitude=4)$

Then

$\\ \frac{Whale_{weight} = 10^{4}}{Dolphin_{weight} = 10^{1}}$

$\\ \frac{Whale_{weight}}{Dolphin_{weight}} = \frac{10^{4}}{10^{1}}$

$\\ \frac{Whale_{weight}}{Dolphin_{weight}} = 10^{4-1}$

$\\ \frac{Whale_{weight}}{Dolphin_{weight}} = 10^{3}$

Thus

A sperm whale is 3 orders of magnitude heavier than a La Plata river dolphin.

<h3>Second case</h3>

Following the same reasoning, we can conclude that the radius of the larger ball is one (1) order of magnitude bigger than the radius of the smaller ball:

$\\ \frac{Larger\;ball_{radius}}{Smaller\;ball_{radius}} = \frac{10^{1}}{10^{0}}$

$\\ \frac{Larger\;ball_{radius}}{Smaller\;ball_{radius}} = 10^{1-0} = 10^{1}$

<h3>Third case</h3>

For this case, we need to calculate the volume of a sphere for both radii (1cm and 10cm).

The volume of a sphere is

$\\ V_{sphere} = \frac{4}{3}*\pi*R^{3}$

Then, the volume of the ball of radius 1cm is:

$\\ V_{radius=1} = \frac{4}{3}*\pi*(1cm)^{3}$

$\\ V_{radius=1} \approx 4.19*10^{0}cm^{3}$

And, the volume of the ball of radius 10cm is:

$\\ V_{radius=10} = \frac{4}{3}*\pi*(10cm)^{3}$

$\\ V_{radius=10} \approx 4.19*10^{3}cm^{3}$

Thus

$\\ \frac{10^{3}}{10^{0}} = 10^{3}$

As a result, the volume of the larger ball is 3 orders of magnitude bigger than the volume of the smaller ball.

The sum of three numbers is 3068.Two of the numbers are 1266 and 1755,find the third number

ratelena [41]

Answer:

The third number is 47.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of three numbers is 3068 - this can be expressed mathematically as:

$\displaystyle{x + y + z = 3068}$

Given that two of the numbers are 1266 and 1755 (in order) then substitute x = 1266 and y = 1755:

$\displaystyle{1266 + 1755 + z = 3068}$

Find the third number - solve for z-variable:

$\displaystyle{3021 + z = 3068}\\\\\displaystyle{z = 3068-3021}\\\\\displaystyle{z = 47}$

Therefore, the third number is 47.

Consider the line x+5y=6

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

$x + 5y = 6$ is perpendicular to $y = 5x + \frac{6}{5}$ and parallel to $y = -\frac{1}{5}x + 2\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the equation to standard form so that y is isolated.

x + 5y = 6 --> x - 6 = -5y (divide both sides by -5) --> $y = -\frac{1}{5}x + \frac{6}{5}$

A perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the original slope (meaning you flip the numerator and denominator then make it negative).

$-\frac{1}{5}$ is perpendicular to $-(\frac{-5}{1} )$ which simplifies to 5.

A parallel line will have the same slope, but the y-intercept will be different. It can be pretty much any number as long as the original slope is used in the new equation.

$y = -\frac{1}{5}x + \frac{6}{5}\\$ is parallel to $y = -\frac{1}{5}x + 2\\$ just like $y = -\frac{1}{5}x - \frac{100}{23}$ .
