This image shows a stream of positively charged particles being directed at gold foil. The positively charged particles are call

ed "alpha particles” and each one is like a nucleus without any electrons.
A laser source is shining red light onto a surface. Some bounces back at anges Some go straight through and some go through at an angle in both directions from the original path.
What is the best explanation for why a particle is striking point X?

a.) Alpha particles are mostly empty space, so they move in random directions, and one of these alpha particles can strike point X.
b.) The gold atoms contain negative electrons, so when alpha particles strike the gold they keep moving but in various directions.
c.) If an alpha particle hits the gold foil, a gold nucleus splits and a particle from it flies out at point X.
d.) When the dense, positive alpha particle passes close to a positive nucleus of gold, the alpha particle repels and hits the screen at point X.

What heats up the fastest (in order) wet sand, rock, water, dry sand
dedylja [7]
The specific heat capacity represents the amount of energy, in joules, that it takes to raise the temperature of one gram of a given substance by one degree Celsius. Put more simply, the amount of energy it takes to raise a quantity of water by one degree Celsius would raise an equivalent quantity of sand by a little over 14 degrees. Likewise, sand does not need to lose nearly as much energy as water to produce equivalent cooling. Since it "holds" a lot less energy, it cools down much faster than sand.
Indeed, liquid water has an unusually high specific heat capacity. Because it is much less prone to temperature swings than other common substances, large bodies of water often work to moderate temperatures in a region. This helps to explain, for example, why average temperatures fluctuate very little over the year in San Francisco, a city whose climate is heavily influenced by the water that nearly surrounds it.

Lady_Fox [76]
Answer: The lagging strand glows more because its RNA primer is nearer the replication fork.
During DNA replication process, both the strands of DNA are replicated simultaneously in opposite direction. One strand is replicated continuously and known as leading strand while the other strand is replicated discontinuously and known as lagging strand.  The leading strand has only one primer attached to it while the lagging strand

How is the crust diffrent from the other layers of the earth
Leto [7]
The crust is the top layer of earth, mostly covered with dirt and rocks. Other layers are rock or molten rock. The top layer is way cooler than the other layers, the closer you get to the Earth's core, the higher in temperature the layer is.
