Answer: C. the rod gains mass and the fur loses mass.

Explanation:Atomic particles have mass. The electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton and with exchange exchange of charge this is also factored in. The movement of effect described above is known as the triboelectic charging process—charging by friction—which results in a transfer of electrons between the two objects when they are rubbed together. Plastic having a much greater affinity for electrons than animal fur pulls electrons from the atoms of fur, leaving both objects with an imbalance of charge. The plastic rod would have an excess of electrons and the fur has a shortage of electrons. Having an excess of electrons, the plastic is charged negatively and has more mass. In the same vein, the shortage of electrons on the fur leaves it with a positive charge and consequently with lesser mass.

Stars of spectral type A and F are considered ________.
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

<u>B. the stars of spectral type A and F are considered reasonably to have habitable planets but much less likely to have planets with complex plant - or animal - like life.</u>

Explanation:

The appropriate spectral range for habitable stars is considered to be "late F" or "G", to "mid-K" or even late "A". <em>This corresponds to temperatures of a little more than 7,000 K down to a little less than 4,000 K</em> (6,700 °C to 3,700 °C); the Sun, a G2 star at 5,777 K, is well within these bounds. "Middle-class" stars (late A, late F, G , mid K )of this sort have a number of characteristics considered important to planetary habitability:

• They live at least a few billion years, allowing life a chance to evolve. <em>More luminous main-sequence stars of the "O", "B", and "A" classes usually live less than a billion years and in exceptional cases less than 10 million.</em>

• They emit enough high-frequency ultraviolet radiation to trigger important atmospheric dynamics such as ozone formation, but not so much that ionisation destroys incipient life.

• They emit sufficient radiation at wavelengths conducive to photosynthesis.

• Liquid water may exist on the surface of planets orbiting them at a distance that does not induce tidal locking.

<u><em>Thus , the stars of spectral type A and F are considered reasonably to have habitable planets but much less likely to have planets with complex plant - or animak - like life.</em></u>

kow [346]

Answer:

The correct answer is: b. Channel

Explanation:

The Communication Process Model (CPM) is a model that describes the steps through which effective exchange of information takes place from the  sender of a message to the receiver(s) of the message. (Refer to attached image)

The CPM includes the following steps:

1. Noise- reducing physical/ physiological distractions that can impede clear communication.  

2. Communicator- the person who initiates the communication

3. Message- the information exchanged between the sender and receiver of the message

4. Feedback- How the information from the sender is received by the recipient of the communication

5. Channel- The medium by which the information is delivered from the sender to the receiver.

In this instance, when Aaden decided to have a discussion with his significant other in his home using face-to-face communication, he is deciding on the channel or medium through which the communication will this place. By choosing face-to-face communication at his home, Aaden has determined what he believes is the most appropriate context for the conversation with his significant other, given the sensitive nature of the topic. In this way, Aaden has selected a channel of communication.

<span>2002 seconds, or 33 minutes, 22 seconds. First, let's calculate how many joules it will take to lift 78 kg against gravity for 1100 meters. So: 78 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 1100 m = 840840 kg*m^2/s^2 Now a watt is defined as kg*m^2/s^3, so a division of the required joules should give us a convenient value of seconds. So: 840840 kg*m^2/s^2 / 420 kg*m^2/s^3 = 2002 seconds. And 2002 seconds is the same as 33 minutes, 22 seconds.</span>
