Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

The way x-rays are produced is as follows; using a vacuum environment in a tube, the cathode is heated to a degree where it releases electrons, then these electrons collide with the anode releasing energy that create the x-rays.

All of the options are correct. Although the electron most likely won't stop, it will slow down and change direction after the collision. The law of conservation of energy is also applied in this situation, meaning that the kinetic energy of the electron released by the cathode will transfer to the anode to produce the x-rays. Most of the energy after the collision is converted into heat, which is why the metal used as the anode can heat up to 2000 degrees celcius.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer:B

Explanation:

B. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to the other. In the transfer of energy from one form to the other, energy transferred is not 100% efficient.

What do scientists use to divide the geologic time scale? Major divisions in the fossil records Major divisions in the sedimenta

IgorC [24]

The correct option is B: MAJOR DIVISIONS IN THE SEDIMENTARY ROCK LAYERS.
Geologic time scale refers to a system of chronological dating which relates geological strata to time. Geologic time scale is used by scientists to describe the timing of the events that had occurred in the past, thus the scale divides the earth history into units of varying magnitude. There are four basic block of time, these are eons, eras, periods and epochs.
In determine geological time, rock records provide evidence of past geological events and life forms.
