A scientist places a strip of hot metal on top of a block of another metal with a lower melting point. The second metal quickly

melts. What is the main type of heat transfer responsible?
Select one:
a. Convection, because the metals touch and cold from the block moves to the warmer strip of metal, cooling it down
b. Conduction, because both metals are in the sun and melt as the sun's rays heat them
c. Convection, because heat from the strip of metal heats the air around it, and then that warm air heats the metal block
d. Conduction, because the heat energy is absorbed by the metal atoms in the block. Once they have absorbed enough energy, they become liquid

Answer:

D:

Explanation:

Conduction because the heat energy is transferring directly from the separate metals convection involves "currents" like in a liquid or a gas. When you turn on the stove with a pot of water on the burner the water at the bottom of the pot gets heated first almost immediately this water rises and cooler water falls. Basically the water is "stirring" or shifting, exchanging the heat energy this is why water heats so evenly.

4) Explain which electric charges attract and which electric charges repel (push away)
DaniilM [7]

Explanation:

According to the fundamental law of electrostatics, like charges which are ( only positive or only negative charges) repel while unlike charges which are ( positive and negative charges ) attract each other.

that is: ( +++++ ++++++) they repel

while ( +++++++ ———) they attract

A scientist is studying the light emitted by several celestial objects. He records the shifts in each object’s spectral lines (i
forsale [732]

-- 400 nm shifted to 430 nm . . . longer than it should be; "red shifted"; moving away from Earth  

-- 610 nm shifted to 580 nm . . . shorter than at source; "blue shifted"; moving toward Earth

-- 512 nm shifted to 480 nm . . . shorter than at source; moving toward Earth

-- 670 nm shifted to 690 nm . . .longer than at source; moving away from Earth

Now I'd just like to ask one more itty bitty question, that you can think about while you're on this subject:  Astronomers really do this.  They measure how much the wavelength CHANGED, from the time it left the original source until the time they detect it. But HOW do they know what the wavelength WAS when it left the source ? ? ?

THIS is the part that blows my mind !

Which one of the following is correct option: hydrogen,
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

hydrogen

Explanation:

pH is a measure of the ion concentration of hydrogen in a solution.

In chemistry, it literally means power of hydrogen ions and it is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in a particular solution, thus specifying the acidity, neutrality or basicity of chemical solutions.

Mathematically, the pH of a solution is given by pH = -log 10[H^{+}]

Hence, a solution with a pH of 7 is neutral.

Also, a solution with a pH below 7 is acidic but basic if it's pH is above 7.
