How many miles between a point 60 ° north latitude and 30 ° west longitude and a point 60 ° north latitude and 60 ° east longitude?

-- We're pretty sure that this question is based on an assumption of EARTH, so we know that we're dealing with a sphere of roughly 3.950 miles radius.

-- The distance on the sphere between 30° west and 60° east is 90° of longitude.  That's 1/4 of the total circumference of the circle.  

-- BUT Way up here at 60° N latitude, the circle is not as big as the equator.  It's radius/diameter/circumference is only cos(60°) = 0.5 of the Earth's total.

-- So the length of our quarter-circle arc is about

(1/4) x (2 · π · 3,950 miles) x (0.5) =

(1/4) x (3,950 π miles) =

988 π miles = 3,104 miles

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
