Answer:

Explanation:

Personal opinion/interpretation are usually firsthand explanation to a phenomenon or problem set. They are usually drawn from logical reasoning and deduction about some event. Most times, they are non-scientific in nature in that they are non-methodical and do not rely on the critical thinking precepts scientific studies are hinged on.

Verified observations are usually drawn from carefully planned experiments. From the results of the experiment, critical decisions can be made.

Air pressure decreases more rapidly with altitude within a column of ________ air than in a column of __________ air.

Anarel [89]

Air Pressure drops more rapidly with altitude in a column of cold air than in warm air.The answers to this question are cold air and warm air, respectively.
<span>Cold air is known to be dense while warm air is known otherwise to be less thens which makes it move upwards. Cold air experiences more pressure as it moves upwards.</span>

. A current through a horizontal powerline flows in west to east direction. What is the direction of magnetic field at a point,

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

c) parallel to the wire

Explanation:

The concept is based on right-hand thumb rule that states that the thumb points in the direction of the current and the fingers will represent the direction of the lines of magnetic force.

As the current is moving in the east-west direction. Using the right-hand thumb rule, the direction of the magnetic field at a point below the wire is from north to south. So, when viewed from the west end, the magnetic field at a point will be anti- clockwise.

Hence, the correct answer is "b) anti- clockwise".

Which shows the rational expression written using the least common denominator?

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The first one.

$\frac{x + 1}{4x^{2} } and \frac{4(x + 1)}{4x^{2} }$

Explanation:

When comparing two fractions with variables like this, it's important to get to the same denominator in order to compare apples with apples and then be able to do not only comparisons but also perform additions/subtractions.

Question is which denominator to use and how to reach it.

In this case, the question and the answer choices do the work for you. The question asks which one is the LEAST common denominator, and the answers show denominators x² and 4x². The smallest of these is x², however, we can't simplify the first fraction to get to the x² denominator, so we'll go for the 4x².

So, the first fraction has already the correct denominator (4x²), we just have to transform the second one.

We multiply it by 1, expressed in a different way. Since we're multiplying by one, we're not affecting the value, just the way it looks.

Let's do it!, to get the denominator to go from x² to 4x², we need to multiply it by 4... so we'll multiply by 4/4 (which is 1, neutral for the multiplication).

$\frac{x + 1}{x^{2} } * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{4(x + 1)}{4x^{2} }$

And now you have both fractions on the same denominator, without having changed their value, just their looks

A stable atom that has a large nucleus most likely contains

maria [59]

Answer:

3. Equal numbers of protons and neutrons

Explanation:

The nucleus becomes unstable if the ratio of protons to neutrons is less than 1:1 or more than 1:1.5.

The most stable nucleus has a neutron proton ratio of 1:1 which means that they can not release a neutron or a proton to decay.

Nucleus 3 is therefore the most stable.
