c.Both the breaking of nuclear bonds and the forming of nuclear bonds.

Explanation:

Nuclear energy is released by the breaking and forming of nuclear bonds. The breaking of nuclear bonds by unstable atoms is known as nuclear fission. The forming of nuclear bonds by combination of light atoms is known as nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fission is a radioactive decay process in which a heavy nucleus spontaneously disintegrates into lighter ones with the release of energy.
In nuclear fusion, atomic nuclei combines into larger ones with the release of large amount of energy.

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Copper>Steel>Aluminium

Explanation:

Hello,

Since the heat capacity accounts for the required heat to increase by 1°C, 1 kg of the metal, copper is the one that has the lower heat capacity, it means that it requires the least amount of energy to warm up (increase its temperature), this could be substantiated via the mathematical definition of heat capacity:

$H=mC(T_2-T_1)$

Solving for $T_2$ :

$T_2=T_1+\frac{H}{mC}$

It means that the lower the heat capacity, the higher the final temperature.

Best regards.

Which of the following describes a condition in which an individual would not hear an echo?

egoroff_w [7]

The correct answer is D.

Echo refers to the sound that is heard when a sound wave is reflected back from a surface. An echo sound is made when a sound wave traveled through the air, hit a hard surface and get reflected back. Generally, hard surfaces reflect sound wave while soft surfaces absorb sound waves. Reflected sound waves are used in application of some devices that are used in range and direction finding.
