Hot air rises<span> because when you </span>heat air<span> (or any other gas for that matter), it expands. When the </span>air<span> expands, it becomes less dense than the </span>air<span>around it. The less dense </span>hot air<span> then floats in the more dense cold </span>air<span> much like wood floats on water because wood is less dense than water.</span>

2. Two identical conducting spheres are placed with their centers 0.30 m apart. One is given a charge of 12 x 10-9 C and the oth
Maru [420]

Answer:

A. -2.16 * 10^(-5) N

B. 9 * 10^(-7) N

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Distance between their centres, r = 0.3 m

Charge in first sphere, Q1 = 12 * 10^(-9) C

Charge in second sphere, Q2 = -18 * 10^(-9) C

A. Electrostatic force exerted on one sphere by the other is:

F = (k * Q1 * Q2) / r²

F = (9 * 10^9 * 12 * 10^(-9) * -18 * 10^(-9)) / 0.3²

F = -2.16 * 10^(-5) N

B. When they are brought in contact by a wire and are then in equilibrium, it means they have the same final charge. That means if we add the charges of both spheres and divided by two, we'll have the final charge of each sphere:

Q1 + Q2 = 12 * 10^(-9) + (-18 * 10^(-9))

= - 6 * 10^(-9) C

Dividing by two, we have that each sphere has a charge of -3 * 10^(-9) C

Hence the electrostatic force between them is:

F = [9 * 10^9 * (-3 * 10^(-9)) * (-3 * 10^(-9)] / 0.3²

F = 9 * 10^(-7) N

What must happen to an atom of magnesium in order to become a magnesium ion Mg+2?
igomit [66]

Answer:

Answer is: c. It must lose two electrons and become an ion.

Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).

Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

b. craters, river valleys feeding into surface lakes of very cold liquids

Explanation:

  • Jovian moons are the four largest satellites like the moon of the Jupiter ie the Lo, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto and were first seen by the galileo. They are amiugly the largest moons with radii larger than the dwarf planet.  
  • Lo has more than 400 active volcanoes and dotted more than 100 mountains and has an extremely thin atmosphere made up of sulfur dioxide. The Europa has deep oceans of liquid water, and the layer of ice, and are characteristic of the tidal heating.  
  • <u>While the surface of Callisto is heavily cratered and has salty liquid water.</u>
