Hello,

Here is your answer:

The proper answer to this question is A "solid". Solid will be least likely transfer heat on something metal!

Your answer is solid!

If you need any ore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is defined as the process in which a fluid (liquid or gas) when heated then more dense (cooler) substance sinks ate the bottom whereas less dense (hotter) substance will rises at the top.

For example, boiling of cold water.

On the other hand, solid substances are able to transfer heat through the process of conduction and not convection.

Conduction is defined as a process in which two objects of different temperature are placed adjacent to each other then there will occur transfer of heat from hotter object to colder object till their temperature becomes equal.

Thus, we can conclude that solid state of matter is least likely to transfer heat by convection.

Three balls are in water. Ball 1 floats, with half of it exposed above the water level. Ball 2, with a density less than the den
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The magnitude of buoyancy force is equal to that of ball's weight.

Explanation:

Ball 1 is floating on water. Weight of ball 1 is Fg=m1g  is acting vertically downward

Force of buoyancy FB = ρVdisg is acting vertically upward.

Net force acting on the ball is zero, FB=Fg

Answer

The magnitude of buoyancy force is equal to that of ball's weight.

A spaceship travels toward the Earth at a speed of 0.97c. The occupants of the ship are standing with their torsos parallel to t
Ket [755]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply length contraction einstein's relativistic formula to calculate the length observed by observer on the earth . For the observer , increased length will be observed for an observer on the earth

L=\frac{.5}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{.97c}{c})^2 } }

L=\frac{.5}{.24}

L= 2.05

The length will appear to be 2.05 m . and width will appear to be .5 m  to the observer on the spaceship. . It is so because it is length which is moving parallel to the direction of travel. Width will remain unchanged.

When a beta minus decay occurs in an unstable nucleus, what happens to the atomic number of the nucleus?The atomic number increa
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The atomic number increases by 1.

Explanation:

The beta minus decay is a process in which a neutron decays into a proton, emitting an electron and an anti-neutrino:

n \rightarrow p + e + \bar{\nu}

If this process occurs inside an unstable nucleus, we notice that:

- a neutron is converted into a proton, therefore

- the number of neutrons decreases by 1 and the number of protons increases by 1

Keep in mind that the atomic number of a nucleus corresponds to the number of protons it contains: therefore, since this number increases by 1, then the atomic number increases by 1.
