1 proton = 1 positive charge
1 electron = 1 negative charge

+21-19= <u>+3</u>

Students in a lab used a hot plate to boil water. Which of the following illustrations best represents the change in the movemen

Digiron [165]

The second illustration is the best representation of the change in the movement of particles as the temperature of the water changes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The second option perfectly represents the boiling of water. As when the temperature is increased, the water molecules gain energy to move faster, thus their kinetic energy of the atoms will be more. This will lead to more freely movement of all the atoms of the water.

And as boiling leads to transformation from liquid state to gaseous state, so the increase in the distance between atoms and molecules occurs in the gaseous state. Thus, the second illustration is best suitable for representing the boiling of water.

As on increasing temperature of the water, the distance between the molecules is increasing in the second illustration while the other illustration shows the decrease in the distance between the molecules. So, the second illustration is the best representation of the change in the movement of particles as the temperature of the water changes.

Why did the results pf the cathode ray tube require a new model of the atom

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

J.J. Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes showed that all atoms contain tiny negatively charged subatomic particles or electrons. ... Rutherford's gold foil experiment showed that the atom is mostly empty space with a tiny, dense, positively-charged nucleus.

A car is traveling 83.3 kilometers per hour. What is its speed in miles per minute? One kilometer = 0.62 miles.

Leya [2.2K]

Hi. 2fouls! :)

First convert the number from kilometer to miles:
$83.3*0.62$
$=51.646 miles$

Now to find the miles per minutes,divide the miles per hours by 60 (the amount of minutes in an hour.)

$51.646/60$
$=0.860766667$

The car is travelling at a speed of 0.860766667 miles/minute.

Hope this helps.

Three blocks of metal at the same temperature are placed on a hot stove. Their specific heat capacities are listed below.Rank th

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Copper>Steel>Aluminium

Explanation:

Hello,

Since the heat capacity accounts for the required heat to increase by 1°C, 1 kg of the metal, copper is the one that has the lower heat capacity, it means that it requires the least amount of energy to warm up (increase its temperature), this could be substantiated via the mathematical definition of heat capacity:

$H=mC(T_2-T_1)$

Solving for $T_2$ :

$T_2=T_1+\frac{H}{mC}$

It means that the lower the heat capacity, the higher the final temperature.

Best regards.
