Carbon(6 protons) + 2 protons = 8 protons

<u>Oxygen</u> = element with 8 protons

Explanation:

Atomic mass is the total number of all the protons and neutrons present in an atom.

For example, a carbon atom has atomic number 6 and it has 6 neutrons.

Atomic number also means the total number of protons present in an atom.

Hence, atomic mass of this carbon atom will be (6 protons + 6 neutrons) = 12.

If two protons and two neutrons are added to the nucleus of a carbon atom then atomic mass of this carbon atom will be as follows.

Atomic mass = [(6 + 2) protons + (2 + 6) neutrons]

= 16

As it is known that oxygen is the element that has atomic mass 16 and atomic number 8.

Therefore, we can conclude that the nucleus of given carbon atoms has converted into the nucleus of oxygen atom.

____ is the thermal energy transfer that occurs from the motion of fluid in a liquid or gas.

Marysya12 [62]

The answer is C. Convection.

Radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves. Conduction, on the other hand, is energy transfer through solid material. Condensation occurs when warm gas makes contact with a cold surface or environment, which causes a change in state from gas to liquid. These definitions rule out choices A, B, and D.

Convection is movement of particles in fluid or gas. As liquid/gas heats up, it becomes less dense and rises, moving away from the heat source. When it rises, it eventually cools down and sinks again. It is warmed up again and the cycle continues. This is why there is a circular motion when convection occurs.

The cannon on a battleship can fire a shell a maximum distance of 36.0 km.

Paraphin [41]

(a)The initial velocity of the shell will be 594.27 m/sec

(b)The maximum height it reaches will be 9000 m.

c)101.249 m meters lower will its surface be 36.0 km from the ship along a horizontal line parallel to the surface of the ship.

d)The error could be significant compared to the size of a target. Option C is correct.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

The change of distance with respect to time is defined as speed. Speed is a scalar quantity. It is a time-based component. Its unit is m/sec.

The given data in the problem is

m is the mass of the block = Kg.

u is the initial velocity of fall = m/sec

h is the distance of fall = m

g is the acceleration of free fall = m/sec²

v is the hitting velocity of =?

The range of the projectile is;

$\rm R = \frac{u^2 sin 2 \theta }{g} \\\\ 36 \times 10^ 3 = \frac{U^2 sin 45^0}{9.81} \\\\ U= 594.27 \ m/sec$

The maximum height of the projectile is;

$\rm H = \frac{u^2 sin 2 \theta }{2g} \\\\ H = \frac{(594.27)^2\times (sin 45)^2}{2 \times 9.81 } \\\\ H = 9000 \ m$

The distance between its surface and the ship, measured in a horizontal arc parallel to the surface, will be 36.0 kilometers. The distance from the lower surface is found as;

$\rm( R_e + h)^2 = R_e^2+(36)^2 \\\\ (R_e)^2 = h^2+2R_e h= R_e^2 + 12196 \\\\ h^2 + 12800 h - 1296 = 0 \\\\ h = 101.249 \ m$

An error is a mistaken or erroneous action. In some contexts, an error is interchangeable with a mistake.

The difference between the calculated value and the original value is known as the error. The inaccuracy may be large in comparison to the target's size. Option C is correct.

Hence the initial velocity of the shell, maximum height, and the distance from the lower surface will be 594.27 m/sec,9000 m, and 101.249 m and option c for question d are correct respectively.

Explain how energy can escape from the water by convection,

Pachacha [2.7K]

As the molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb heat, they begin to move around more quickly. This gives them the energy to break the bonds that connect them to other water molecules. When the molecules are moving fast enough, they are able to "escape." They leave the surface of the liquid as gas molecules.

Why do concave lenses always form virtual images?

MaRussiya [10]

<span>A concave mirror and a converging lens will only produce a real image if the object is located beyond the focal point (i.e., more than one focal length away). The image of an object is found to be upright and reduced in size.</span>
