A.) conduction.

conduction is the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.

Which of the following are thought to be rapidly rotating neutron stars with intense magnetic fields? Choose one answer.a. pulsa
frutty [35]
<h2>Answer: Pulsars</h2>

A <u>pulsar</u> is a neutron star that emits very intense electromagnetic radiation at short and periodic intervals ( rotating really fast) due to its intense magnetic field that induces this emission.  

Nevertheless, it is important to note that all pulsars are neutron stars, but not all neutron stars are pulsars.

Let's clarify:

A neutron star, is the name given to the remains of a supernova. In itself it is the result of the gravitational collapse of a massive supergiant star after exhausting the fuel in its core.  

Neutron stars have a small size for their very high density and they rotate at a huge speed.  

However, the way to know that a pulsar is a neutron star is because of its high rotating speed.

Which light packs the highest energy per photon? 1. infrared 2. red 3. blue 4. ultraviolet 5. green?
WINSTONCH [101]
A single photon carries an energy equal to
E=hf
where h is the Planck's constant and f is the frequency of the photon.
This means that the higher the frequency of the light, the higher the energy. Among the 5 different options mentioned by the problem, the light with highest frequency is ultraviolet, which has frequencies in the range [3-30] PHz, while visible light (red, blue, green) and infrared have lower frequency, so ultraviolet light has the highest energy per photon.

a given mass of an ideal gas law occupies a volume V of a temperature T under a pleasure p, if the pressure is increased to 2 p
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

75%

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the final volume of the gas. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial volume (V₁) = V

Initial temperature (T₁) = T

Initial pressure (P₁) = P

Final pressure (P₂) = 2P

Final temperature (T₂) = ½T

Final volume (V₂) =?

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

PV/T = 2P × V₂ / ½T

Cross multiply

T × 2P × V₂ = PV × ½T

T × 2P × V₂ = PV × ½T

Divide both side by T × 2P

V₂ = (PV × ½T) / T × 2P

V₂ = ¼V

Next, we shall determine the absolute change in the volume of the gas. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial volume (V₁) = V

Final volume (V₂) = ¼V

Absolute change in volume |ΔV| =?

|ΔV| = |V₂ – V₁|

|ΔV| = |¼V – V|

|ΔV| = |0.25V – V|

|ΔV| = 0.75V

Finally, we shall determine percentage change in the volume of the gas. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial volume (V₁) = V

Absolute change in volume |ΔV| = 0.75V

Percentage change =?

Percentage change = |ΔV| / V × 100

Percentage change = 0.75V / V × 100

Percentage change = 0.75 × 100

Percentage change = 75%

Thus, the percentage change in the volume of the gas is 75%

How did we see through Venus thick atmosphere?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

The Venusian atmosphere supports opaque clouds of sulfuric acid, making optical Earth-based and orbital observation of the surface impossible. Information about the topography has been obtained exclusively by radar imaging. Aside from carbon dioxide, the other main component is nitrogen

Jeff is a landscaping contractor and lifts a rock weighing 600 pounds by wedging a board under the rock. Jeff weighs 150 pounds
jonny [76]

Answer: 4

The mechanical advantage is the ratio of the force exerted  by the object to the force applied to do work on it.

Here, Jeff tried to lift a rock weighing 600 pounds by wedging board under the rock. Jeff who weighs 150 pounds uses all his weight to exert force on lever and lift rock.

Mechanical advantage, M.A.=\frac{weight\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1 mm}rock}{weight\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1 mm}Jeff}=\frac{600 pounds}{150 pounds}=4.

Therefore, the mechanical advantage that lever provided to Jeff in lifting rock is 4.
