Explanation:
a) Density is the amount of mass in a specific amount of volume
b) Some substances are less dense than water so will float and vice versa
c) The wooden plank has less density than water due to having larger volume and vice versa with the wooden block since volume and density are inversely proportional
II) (a) They are all metals
(b) water -> Compound
oxygen -> Element
Gold-> Element
Salt-> Compound
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The least of the conditions that can result in fossilization would be <u>when an organism is a prey to several species.</u>
Fossils are remains or traces of organisms that have been geological preserved and a prey is an organism that is often hunted and serves as food to bigger organisms. <em>When an organism is eaten, the probability of it becoming a fossil becomes low. Unless such an organism is usually partially eaten by predators, there would not be any remains, let alone being fossilized.</em>
The correct option is D.
Explanation:
Neutral carbon-12 (or any carbon atom) has 6 electrons with a total negative charge of 6e- orbiting a nucleus with a total positive charge of 6e+, so that the total net charge is zero. The nucleus is made up of 6 protons, each with a positive charge of e+, and 6 neutrons, each with zero charge.
Answer:
a. negative
b. zero
Explanation:
work is the change in the energy of a system due to external forces
work is done when a force moves a load through a distance in the direction of the force
The work done by a force on a system is positive when the force and the force displacement point in the same direction and negative when they point in opposite directions
in the scenario we are considering in the question, the force (the hand) moves the block vertically upwards but the displacement of the block reduces (in the opposite direction) since it decelerates. as such the work done by gravity on the block is negative.
the work done on the block is zero if the system consists of the block and the earth because there is no gravitational force exerted on the system
