As Jesse's hybrid accelerates to pass a car on the highway, he notices that his gas mileage drops from 40 miles per gallon to 15

. One likely explanation for this is:
A. the engine is powered by a biofuel that is not needed while cruising.
B. his car operates on battery power when he begins to accelerate.
C. his car has turned on more pistons to provide the extra energy needed to accelerate.
D. his car operates only on battery power on the highway.

The most likely explanation for this observation is C. his car has turned on more pistons to provide the extra energy needed to accelerate.

When cruising, hybrid cars are able to employ electrical energy to drive the car. Moreover, even if a vehicle is not a hybrid, a greater amount of fuel is consumed when one accelerates because the vehicle has to generate a force larger than the force of air resistance in order for it to accelerate. This increased demand of force reduces the vehicle's fuel economy.

What types of radiation cause the parent isotope to change into a different element?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Beta decay is most common in elements with a high neutron to proton ratio. Gamma decay follows the form: In gamma emission, neither the atomic number or the mass number is changed. A high energy gamma ray is given off when the parent isotope falls into a lower energy state.

What does the atomic number tell you about the element
jonny [76]
It tells you how many protons it has and because the number of protons =electrons it tells you also the number of electrons.

How would exercising, sleeping well, eating healthy foods, and receiving recommended vaccines affect a person's immunity?
notsponge [240]
With the lack of these 3 factors you throw off your health triangle and your health is unbalanced. When you eat well you can get vitamins such as "E" and "C". These vitamins help build up immune cells that help build the immune system. When a person does not get enough sleep that person is more open to viruses and bacteria. Getting the recommended vaccines help you to fight off possible diseases or illnesses. They make you immune system stronger so you can be healthier.
