The answer is option D)
this is because the heat radiated by the flame is mostly absorbed by the air surrounding it, so the air becomes hot and its density decreases (because of expansion), therefore it goes up and it is replaced by cooler air. since all of the hot air flies up, non goes side ways to heat up the match stick, hence it remains cool and does not light up.

option A) also sounds correct, but it isn't. this is because the flame IS hot enough to burn the match stick, it's just that the match stick is positioned the wrong way

Mariana [72]

Answer:

The volume of the balloon increases in the upper atmosphere.

Explanation:

p1= 1 atm

p2= 0.15 atm

V1= 15.6 L

V2= ?

p1*V1= p2 * V2

V2= (p1/p2)*V1

V2= 104 L

Why is it important that a finger be wet<br> before it is touched to a hot clothes iron?

AleksandrR [38]

Why is it important that your finger be wet if you intend to touch it briefly to a hot clothes iron to test its temperature. If your finger is wet, some of the heat transmitted to your finger will be given to the water which has a high specific heat capacity and also a larger latent heat of vaporization.
