Answer:

A. Is independent of other energy influences

Explanation:

Nuclear decay occurs at a constant rate. The rate of decay is independent of temperature.

B, C, and D are wrong. The decay rate cannot be sped up or slowed down at ordinary temperatures.

Answer:

Weathering, Erosion

Explanation:

Plants and animals can be agents of mechanical weathering. The seed of a tree may sprout in soil that has collected in a cracked rock. As the roots grow, they widen the cracks, eventually breaking the rock into pieces. Over time, trees can break apart even large rocks.

Tree root systems have a handful of large roots that branch out into a network of smaller roots that often extend out far beyond their branches do. These root systems prevent erosion by holding the soil in place and improving drainage which helps water get absorbed into the soil instead of just running over the top.

Hope this helps

All the love, Ya boi Fraser :)

A piece of high-density Styrofoam measuring 24.0 cm by 36.0 cm by 5.0 cm floats when placed in a tub of water. When a 1.5 kg boo

zheka24 [161]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Width of Styrofoam = 24.0 cm

Length of Styrofoam = 36.0 cm

Height of Styrofoam = 5.0 cm

Therefore, volume of the Styrofoam will be calculated as follows.

Volume = length × width × height

= (36.0 × 24.0 × 5.0) $cm^{3}$

= 4320 $cm^{3}$

or, = $4.32 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}$

As Styrofoam partially sinks at 3.0 cm and total height of Styrofoam is 5.0 cm. Hence, height of Styrofoam above the water is (5.0 - 3 cm) = 2 cm.

So, volume of water displaced is as follows.

24.0 cm × 36.0 cm × 2.0 cm

= $1.73 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}$

Hence, mass of displaced water is as follows.

mass = density × volume

= $1.00 g/cm^{3} \times 1.73 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}$

= $1.73 \times 10^{3} g$

Since, book is placed on the Styrofoam. Therefore, mass of water displaced is also equal to the following.

Mass of water displaced = mass of book + mass of Styrofoam

$1.73 \times 10^{3} g$ = 1500 g + mass of Styrofoam

(1730 - 1500) g = mass of Styrofoam

mass of Styrofoam = 230 g

Therefore, calculate the density of Styrofoam as follows.

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

= $\frac{230}{4.32 \times 10^{3} cm^{3}}$

= $53.24 \times 10^{-3} g cm^{-3}$

Thus, we can conclude that the density of Styrofoam is $53.24 \times 10^{-3} g cm^{-3}$ .

guapka [62]

Answer:

a) ∆T=T1-T2

b) At the particle level the temperature changes are the result of the added energy causing the particles of water to move more vigorously. Either the particles of solid vibrate more vigorously about their fixed positions or the particles of liquid and gas move about their container more rapidly.

c) The state in which two substances in physical contact do not share any heat energy. The temperature of two substances in thermal equilibrium is said to be the same. Also see thermodynamics.

Explanation:

hope that helped good luck!
