Answer:

a. Smaller nuclei combine to make a larger nucleus.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the process by which several atomic nuclei of similar charge bind and form a heavier nucleus.

In order for fusion to occur, an important energy barrier produced by electrostatic force must be overcome. Over long distances, two nuclei repel each other due to the electrostatic repulsion force between their protons, positively charged. However, if two nuclei can be approached sufficiently, due to the strong nuclear interaction, which is greater over short distances, electrostatic repulsion can be overcome, and fusion takes place.

A piece of unknown metal with mass 30 g is heated to 110.0 °C and dropped into 100.0 g of water at 20.0 °C. The final temperatur

Ymorist [56]

Answer: The specific heat of metal is 0.821 J/g°C

Explanation:

When metal is dipped in water, the amount of heat released by metal will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by water.

$Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}$

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]$ ......(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

$m_1$ = mass of metal = 30 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 100 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = 25°C

$T_1$ = initial temperature of metal = 110°C

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = 20.0°C

$c_1$ = specific heat of metal = ?

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$30\times c_1\times (25-110)=-[100\times 4.186\times (25-20)]$

$c_1=0.821J/g^oC$

Hence, the specific heat of metal is 0.821 J/g°C

Quincy wants to see a real example of rock weathering. Where would be the best place for him to go? A. up on the roof of his hou

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Weathering is usually defined as the disintegration of rocks at the surface of the earth. This break down of rocks is mainly caused by the geological processes that occur on the earth's surface. This process results in the formation of sediments that are transported and deposited in a new environment.

This weathering process primarily takes place in three different ways such as-

Physical weathering- Here, the rocks are broken down by the physical agents such as wind, water, ice.

Chemical weathering- Here the rocks are broken down when interacts with the chemical containing water.

Biological weathering- here, the rocks are broken down due to the activities done by organisms such as plants and animals.

In the given condition, Quincy can see a real example of rock weathering in the high mountainous region, as in the mountainous region the rocks are frequently weathered and eroded by the agents such as wind, water, and ice.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
