The answer is 44 chickens and 28 rabbits.

We have a system of two equations.
x - the number of rabbits
y - the number of chickens

Both chicken and rabbit have only 1 head, so the first equation is: x + y = 72.
Since rabbits have 4 legs and chickens 2 legs, the second equation is: 4x + 2y = 200.

Now, let's solve the system:
x + y = 72
4x + 2y = 200
___________
y = 72 - x
⇒ 4x + 2 · (72 - x) = 200
4x + 2 · 72 - 2 · x = 200
4x + 144 - 2x = 200
2x + 144 = 200
2x = 200 - 144
2x = 56
⇒ x = 56 ÷ 2 = 28
So, there are 28 rabbits.

Since
y = 72 - x = 72 - 28 = 44,
there are 44 chickens.

In a fixed volume when temperature increases , pressure does what?
Leni [432]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>When the volume is constant the pressure increases with temperature.  </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Gay Lussac’s law precisely explains the relation between pressure and temperature of a system which has constant volume.</em> In a system which has constant volume an increase in temperature indicates increase in temperature as well.

The reason behind the observation of this trend is the change in <em>randomness of particles of the system.  </em>

With increase in temperature the particle movement becomes random and fast. <em>The particles hit the container walls at an increased rate and the pressure of the system increase.  </em>

A neutron is combined in a nuclear reaction with a proton to make a heavy hydrogen nucleus. This nucleus then acquires _____ ele
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

This nucleus then acquires <u><em>one </em></u>electron to become electrically neutral.

Explanation:

Fusion :It is nuclear reaction which two or more than smaller nuclei combines together to form heavy nuclear.

A neutron combines with proton in order to make heavy electron that is fusion reaction is taking place.

^{1}\textrm{n}+^{1}_{1}\textrm{H}\rightarrow ^{2}_1\textrm{H}+

The overall charge in the nucleus will be +1.And in order to neutralize this positive charge the nucleus will acquire single electron to become electrically neutral.
