Answer:

E. discrete lines of different colors

Explanation:

When light passes through a heated atomic gas and then dispersed through the prism, A line spectrum is obtained always. This happens because when, heated atoms of  the gas will be in excited state, these excited state atoms t will emit lights of specific frequency particular to the gas. Thus, a spectra containing lines of discrete colors is obtained on the screen.

Hence, option E is correct.

a) An inflated balloon was pressed against a wall after it has been rubbed with a piece of synthetic cloth. It was found that the balloon sticks to the wall. <u>This is because a positive and negative electric charge is produced, therefore the balloon sticks to the wall.</u>

b) When an object is thrown up, it comes back to ground <u>because of gravitational attraction force of earth</u>.

c) Mountaineers suffer nose bleeding at higher altitudes <u>because the oxygen level decreases with increase in altitude, which the body cannot adjust.</u>

d) Foundations of high rise buildings are kept wide <u>because more is the area of contact, less is the pressure efforts. So, foundations are wide so as to decrease the possibility of the building from falling down.</u>

e) Deep sea divers or high altitude fliers wear special suits <u>so as prevent their body from being crushed by the water pressure. Since water pressure is maximum at deep seas and oceans, therefore, more is the risk of being injured.</u>

f) Walls of a dam are thickened near the base <u>so that the dam can handle the kinetic energy pressure and prevent itself from breaking down, which if not, can lead to flooding</u>.

The physical phenomenon that MRI is based on does not depend on ionizing radiation, but on other properties of atoms instead. Wh
hammer [34]

This phenomenon is called Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.

When I met my future wife, she was working in the medical research building next door to the communications building where I worked. (We shared a parking lot.) MRI was not a thing yet, and she was doing research in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. I learned a lot about it when I walked next door to visit her in her lab. Strange as it may seem, several years earlier, her older brother was involved in the invention of the CAT scan. When we got married, I figured that our kids had at least a 50% chance of inheriting some brains. So we had some, and they've done OK.

Describe how an increase in humidity can affect the water cycle
anastassius [24]

An increase in humidity can strengthen the water cycle, because humidity is essentially boosted evaporation. When you have evaporation, that comes automatically with condensation and precipitation, so rain and cloud cover increases.

Speed is the ratio of the distance an object moves to
guajiro [1.7K]
A - the amount of time needed to travel the distance

The formula for speed is distance/time and the unit is m/s. Therefore you divide the distance travelled by the time it took to travel it.
