A, Because it is lighter than Iron

Answer: stronger than iron

Explanation: Steel is an alloy of iron mixed with small quantities of carbon.  Iron being a pure metal is soft as the atoms can slip over one another due to the presence of free electrons.

Addition of carbon to iron, makes the iron hard as the carbon hinders the movement of atoms past one another. The tensile strength or resistance to break under applied force for steel gets more as compared to iron.

Cosmic ray particles can do permanent damage to DNA, especially if both strands are damaged. Explain why damage to just one base
Amanda [17]
One strand has the ability to for form its corresponding strand by means of the deoxy nucleosides existing in the cell. But conversely, if both the arrangements of DNA are impaired, then it would be impossible for the DNA to generate two strands that happened of same match from the current nucleosides. Henceforth, one strand damage can be remembered but double stranded can be lasting or permanent.

What is the gravitational energy of a 2.63kg
Elis [28]

Answer:

G.P.E = 368.3

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2.63kg

Height, h = 14.29m

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

To find the gravitational potential energy;

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

G.P.E = mgh

Where;

G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

G.P.E = 2.63*9.8*14.29

G.P.E = 368.3

Note: the unit of gravitational potential energy is Joules.

A heavy object falls with the acceleration as a light object during free fall. Why?
Lyrx [107]

A heavy object falls with the acceleration as a light object during free fall because of acceleration due to gravity.

Explanation:

A motion can be termed as free fall when the object is completely under the influence of gravity. So in this case, no other force will be acting on the object other than the gravitational force. As the gravity influences the object in free fall, the acceleration attained by any object in free fall is same. And this acceleration is termed as acceleration due to gravity. Since, the gravity gives the acceleration to every object experiencing free fall, then the acceleration should be constant. Thus, a heavy object and a light object will have same acceleration during free fall.
