Answer:

Absorption

Absorption, in wave motion, the transfer of the energy of a wave to matter as the wave passes through it. ... Substances are selectively absorbing—that is, they absorb radiation of specific wavelengths.

The density of atmosphere (measured in kilograms/meter3) on a certain planet is found to decrease as altitude increases (as meas
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

B.  inverse plot, 0.51 kilograms/meter3

Explanation:

First of all, we note that the relationship between the altitude and the atmospheric density is an inverse relationship. In fact, an inverse relationship is a relationship between the x-variable and the y-variable of the form

y \propto \frac{1}{x}

Therefore, as the x increases, the y decreases, and as the x decreases, they increases. This is exactly what occurs with the altitude and the atmospheric density in this plot: as the altitude increases, the density decreases, and vice-versa.

Moreover, we can infer the value of the atmospheric density at an altitude of 1,291 km. This point is located between point A (2550 km) and point B(1000 km), so the density must have a value between 0.30 kg/m^3 and 0.54 kg/m^3, so the correct choice is

A car is moving north on a freeway. If a bug is flying south on the freeway, is the momentum of the bug positive or negative?
faltersainse [42]

Negative

Because the car is moving up and the bug is moving down. but it also depends on the weather so choice between one of those two I think is Negative but I may be wrong.

Which of ONE of the following four elements has the most metallic properties?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

12 (Magnesium- Mg)

Explanation:

Looking at the four numbers, we have:

Magnesium, Silicon, Sulfur, and Chlorine.

We can eliminate two of the answers immediately just by looking at the periodic table.

Sulfur and Chlorine are on the nonmetal side of the periodic table. So that's <em>definitely</em> not it. That leaves Magnesium and Silicon.

Silicon is a Metalloid. Magnesium is an Alkaline earth Metal.

Metaloids are elements that have a mix of both<em> metal</em> and<em> nonmetal </em>properties (luster, how it feels, etc.). Since it's a MIX and Magnesium is just straight METAL-

We can say Magnesium has the most metallic properties.

hope this helps!!
