Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

The light and heat that we receive from the Sun is the result of nuclear fusion reactions, described by hydrogen nuclei that collide with each other, and fuse giving rise to a heavier nucleus of helium releasing a large amount of energy.

The energy released by these reactions travels to Earth in the form of electromagnetic radiation.

Have a nice day!

Consider the third period of the periodic table. Which element has the smallest atomic radius?
Anettt [7]
According to periodic trends in the periodic table, the atomic radius decreases from left to right. 

In period three, the element with the smallest atomic radius would be the element in the rightmost area. Protons increase as it goes to the right, which would mean they pull in electrons closer which decreases the size. 

So in period 3, the element with the smallest atomic radius is Argon (Ar).

A 0.245 kg ball is thrown straight up from 2.07 m above the ground. Its initial vertical speed is 8.00 m/s. A short time later,
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The work done by gravity is 4.975 \: Joules

Explanation:

The data given in the question is :

Mass is 0.245 kg

Height from ground is 2.07 m

As we know , the work done is state function , it depends on initial and final position not on the path followed.

So, work done by gravity = change in potential energy

Work done = Initial potential energy - final potential energy

Insert values from question

Work done = mass \times gravity \times (change \: in \: height)

Work done = 0.245 kg \times 9.81 m/s^{2} \times 2.07 m

So, work done = 4.975 Joules

Hence the work done by gravity is 4.975 \: Joules

True or false as heat and pressure decreases one type of metamorphic rock will transform into another type
dezoksy [38]

Answer: True

Explanation:  Metamorphism is the changing of rocks by heat and pressure. During this process, rocks change either physically and/or chemically. They change so much that they become an entirely new rock. Figure 4.22: The platy layers in this large outcrop of metamorphic rock show the effects of pressure on rocks during metamorphism.
