The findings of Henri Becquerel and the Curies helped to discredit what notion held for a very long time? That matter can never

be created or destroyed. Matter is made up of any smaller parts. Matter is radioactive and decays over time. That matter is indivisible and indestructible.

That matter s indivisible and indestructible.  This is because they discovered that certain elements, thought to be indivisible, can breakdown by radioactive decay and emit smaller, high energy particles and/or photons.

Answer:

That matter is indivisible and indestructible.

Explanation:

Matter is composed of many smaller parts known as atoms. It was earlier thought that atom is the smallest indivisible particle. Henri Becquerel and Curies  discovered radioactivity. Radioactivity is the phenomenon where an unstable atom disintegrates into a stable nuclei and releases energy along with, gamma, beta or alpha particle. With discovery of radioactivity, the notion that matter is indivisible and indestructible, was destroyed.

A pneumatic system consists of several identical 1.5 inch diameter cylinders to lift 450-pound pallets in a warehouse. the gauge
DerKrebs [107]
The applicable equation:

P = F/A

P = pressure
F = Force or weight
A = surface area

Pressure on each cylinder = (W/n)/A
Where n = number of cylinders. Additionally, pressure in the reservoir is equivalent to the pressure in each cylinder.
Net pressure =  75 - 14.7 = 60.3 psi

Therefore,
60.3 = (W/n)/A = (450/n)/(πD^2/4) = (450/n)/(π*1.5^2/4) = (450/n)/(1.7671)
60.3*1.7671 = 450/n
106.03 = 450/n
n = 450/106.3 = 4.244 ≈ 5

The number of cylinders is 5.

A block of wood measuring 2.75 cm x 4.80 cm x 7.50 cm has a mass of 84.0 g. will the block of wood sink or float in water?
KIM [24]
The volume of the block of wood is given by length × width ×height
 = 2.75 × 4.80 × 7.5
 = 99 cm³
Density is given by mass/volume
Thus = 84.0 g/ 99 cm³
         = 0.848 g/cm³
Hence;  since the block is less dense than water (1 g/cm³) it will float

Why is the rock cycle really a cycle?
Naddik [55]
The rock cycle is a group of changes that describes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes. All rocks are made up of minerals. Volcanic processes form extrusive igneous rocks. Extrusive rocks cool quickly on or very near the surface of the earth.
