First the element has to be stable. One chooses the easiest way to make the element stable. for example : Al has 13 electrons and you want to make it stable, you consider the outermost electrons where in AL the are three so it is easier for Al to lose three than to gain five

Which of these are ways in which a seed might be dispersed? Check all that apply. organisms clouds wind water rocks
alisha [4.7K]

Answer: organisms

wind

water

Explanation:

There are several ways through which plants can move the seed of plants from one place to another. It isn't possible for plants to move their seeds themselves, therefore, there are other methods for their seeds to be moved.

These include fire, wind, animals, organisms, water, fire, water etc. It should be noted that rocks and clouds are not dispersion methods.

Classify the following as a type of potential energy or kinetic energy (use the letters K or P)
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
<span>1. Use these definitions:
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
i) Kinetic energy (KE) is energy in action in virtue of the motion. KE = (1/2)mv². You can tell there is KE wthen the object is moving.
</span><span />

<span>ii) Potential energy (PE) is a stored energy. You notice the PE once it is transformed into another form of energy, for example into kinetic energy or heat, or light. The maing forms of potential energy are gravitational potential energy (mgh), elastic potential energy (1/2)kx², and chemical potential energy.

1. A bicyclist pedaling up a hill: K

In virtue of the motion (speed) the byciclist has kinetic energy. Neverthelles, the pedalyst also has potential energy, which you could notice if she stops pedaling, because then she would start to go down the hill without pedaling.


</span><span>2. An archer with his bow drawn : P
</span>
<span></span><span /><span>
The bow will have elastic potential energy in virtue of which the arrow will be throwm as soon as the archer release it.


3. A volleyball player spiking a ball K


</span><span>The ball will have kinetic energy in virtue of its speed </span>
<span /><span>
4. A baseball thrown to second base: K
</span><span />

<span>The baseball will have kinetic energy in virtue of its speed.
</span><span />

<span>5. The chemical bonds in sugar: P
</span><span />

<span>The bonds have stored potential energy. This energy is named chemical energy. When the bonds break they release energy in the form of heat, light or sound.


6. The wind blowing over a tree: K
</span><span />

<span>The wind is moving, so it has kinetic energy. You notice the energy of the wind because it is capable to move the leaves or even the same tree, The same happens when the wind moves the blades of a windmill.


7. Walking down the street: K
</span><span />

<span>When you walk you are moving, so you have speed and that is kinetic energy.


8. Sitting at the top of a tree: P
</span><span />

<span>Sitting on a high place gives you potential energy (mgh). You potentially can suffer an injure if you fall down. The potencial energy transforms into kinetic energy when you fall down.
</span><span />

<span>9. A bowling ball rolling down the alley: K
</span><span />

<span>The ball is rotating and translating. It has angular speed and traslational speed.Both are kinetic energies.


10. A bowling ball sitting on the rack: P
</span><span />

<span>While the ball is on the rack, it has the possibility to fall down. The ball can fall off the rack and hit the floor or your foot. The stored (potential) energy can be transformed into kinetic energy.
