Answer

D- Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon, as an element, is the basis of what is referred to as diamond, graphite, and coal. Coal is a solid form with high content of hydrocarbon making coal amenable to burning). In a much purer form Carbon occurs in graphite and diamond. While in graphite carbon atoms bond to two neighboring atoms, in diamond they do so to four neighboring carbon atoms in a "tetrahedron-like" configuration (making diamond very hard).

How does emission spectra occur?

Lerok [7]

The frequencies of light that an atom can emit are dependent on states the electrons can be in. When excited, an electron moves to a higher energy level or orbital. When the electron falls back to its ground level the light is emitted.

The age of the universe is around 100,000,000,000,000,000s. A top quark has a lifetime of roughly 0.000000000000000000000001s. W

Answer:

10⁴¹ s quark top lives have been in the history of the universe.

Explanation:

You need to determine how many quark top lives there have been in the history of the universe, that is, what is the age of the universe divided by the lifetime of a top quark. Expressed in a formula, this is:

$t\frac{Age of the universe}{Lifetime of a top quark}$

Yo know that the "Age of the universe" is 100,000,000,000,000,000 which can also be expressed as 10¹⁷ s .

You also know that the "Lifetime of a top quark" is 0.000000000000000000000001 which can also be expressed as 10⁻²⁴ s.

Then $t=\frac{10^{17} }{10^{-24} }$

Recalling that the result of dividing two powers of the same base is another power with the same base where the exponent is the subtraction of the initial exponents, it is possible to calculate this division as follows:

$t=10^{17-(-24)}$

$t=10^{17+24}$

t=10⁴¹ s

So 10⁴¹ s quark top lives have been in the history of the universe.

An object has a kinetic energy of 14 J and a mass of 17 kg , how fast is the object moving?

lisabon 2012 [21]

$v ^{2}$ = Joules ÷ (0.5×Kilograms)

14J ÷ 8.5 = 1.64705882

Remember, 1.64705882 = v², so we need to find the square root.

The square root of 1.64705882 is 1.283377894464448

Hope this helps!
