It is called absorption spectrum because a gas of hydrogen will make a line spectrum and if viewed for another angle it would be between a continuum light and a emission line spectrum

____ 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.

Answer:

The radius of the gold nucleus is 7.1x10⁻¹⁵m

Explanation:

The nearest distance is:

r=\frac{kze^{2} }{mpV^{2} } (eq. 1)

Where

z = atomic number of gold = 79

e = electron charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

k = electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹Nm²C²

energy of the particle = 32 MeV = 5.12x10⁻¹²J

At the potential energy is zero, all the energy will be kinetic energy:

E_{k} =\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}

Where

m = 4 mp = mass of proton

5.12x10^{-12} =\frac{1}{2} *4*m_{p}* V^{2} \\m_{p}* V^{2} = 2.56x10^{-12}

Replacing in equation 1

r=\frac{9x10^{9}*79*(1.6x10^{-19})^{2}   }{2.56x10^{-12} } =7.1x10^{-15} m

Suppose a rectangular piece of aluminum has a length D, and its square cross section has the dimensions W XW, where D (W x W) to
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

R₂ / R₁ = D / L

Explanation:

The resistance of a metal is

        R = ρ L / A

Where ρ is the resistivity of aluminum, L is the length of the resistance and A its cross section

We apply this formal to both configurations

Small face measurements (W W)

The length is

         L = W

Area  

         A = W W = W²

        R₁ = ρ W / W² = ρ / W

Large face measurements (D L)

       Length L = D= 2W

       Area     A = W L

     R₂ = ρ D / WL = ρ 2W / W L = 2 ρ/L

The relationship is

    R₂ / R₁ = 2W²/L
