It would be B. If the water cycle will have more kinetic energy when warm due to the molecules moving. For example, when you are warm, you move relatively faster rather than if you are cold.

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When water changes from liquid state to gaseous state then it means energy has been absorbed by water molecules. As a result, kinetic energy of molecules increases and chemical bonds break.

Therefore, molecules move far apart from each other and liquid state changes into gaseous state.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement water absorbs energy which causes chemical bonds to break changing the water to steam accurately describes what happens when water turns into steam in terms of energy.

Why do objects repel and attract?

Anarel [89]

Objects repel and attract because of a thing called electrostatic attraction. When objects have the same charge (positive or negative), then they will repel, and if they have opposite charges then they will attract

Nonmetals in the periodic table have a negative oxidation number. Which statement best explains why?

Tema [17]

They have a negative oxidation number because nonmetals gain electrons, thus making them negatively charged ions (anions). Metals become cations and have a positive charge because they lose electrons.

A football is kicked from the ground with a velocity of 38m/s at an angle of 40 degrees and eventually lands at the same height.

Anastasy [175]

Initially, the velocity vector is $\langle 38cos(40^{\circ}),38sin(40^{\circ}) \rangle=\langle 29.110, 24.426 \rangle$ . At the same height, the x-value of the vector will be the same, and the y-value will be opposite (assuming no air resistance). Assuming perfect reflection off the ground, the velocity vector is the same. After 0.2 seconds at 9.8 seconds, the y-value has decreased by $4.9(0.2)^2$ , so the velocity is $\langle 29.110, 24.426-0.196 \rangle = \langle 29.110, 24.23 \rangle$ .

Converting back to direction and magnitude, we get $\langle r,\theta \rangle=\langle \sqrt{29.11^2+24.23^2},tan^{-1}(\frac{29.11}{24.23}) \rangle = \langle 37.87,50.2^{\circ}\rangle$
