<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Mid-ocean ridges

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Sea-floor spreading is the process by which molten material adds new oceanic crust to the ocean floor.
Mid-ocean ridge is an undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced at a divergent plate boundary.
Mid ocean ridge occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

The carbon atom with 12 protons and 12 electrons has a charge of:

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Isotopes are the elements having the same atomic number i.e same number of protons which in turn is equal to same number of electrons. Number of protons and electrons are equal as the atom is electrically neutral. So, the only option is A.

A friend claims that throwing a baseball up towards the school roof illustrates gravitational potential energy transforming into

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The Statement is wrong because the reverse is the case as it is the kinetic energy that is being transformed to gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

As your friend throws the baseball into the air the ball gains an initial velocity (u) and this makes the Kinetic energy to be equal to

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mu^2$

Here m is the mass of the baseball

Now as this ball moves further upward the that velocity it gained reduce due to the gravitational force and this in turn reduces the kinetic energy of the ball and this kinetic energy lost is being converted to gravitational potential energy which is mathematically represented as (m×g×h)

as energy can not be destroyed but converted to a different form according to the first law of thermodynamics

Looking a the formula for gravitational potential energy we see that the higher the ball goes the grater the gravitational potential energy.
