Hello.

The answer is: D. weak nuclear force.

The weak force causes beta decay, a form of radioactivity. It could not be explained by the strong nuclear force, the force that’s responsible for holding the atomic nucleus together, because this force doesn’t affect electrons.

It couldn’t be the electromagnetic force, because this does not affect neutrons, and the force of gravity is far too weak to be responsible.

Have a nice day

if you have several different substances mixed together, like Italian salad dressing, where do the most dense materials go where
Alecsey [184]
If you've ever mixed water and oil together,you've probably noticed that the oil rises to the top and the water stays at the bottom-- no matter how much you try to shake them. This is because oil is less dense than water, making it float to the top. The molecules in oil are larger than those in water, so they don't pack as tightly together as they do in water. In a mixture of oil and vinegar, the<span> </span>oil <span>floats on the </span>vinegar/<span>water mixture, while the solids sink to the bottom. So, if one material floats over another, the material on top is less dense. 

Let me know if this helps! :)</span>

What is the final speed of a 60 kg boulder dropped from a 111 meter cliff
saveliy_v [14]

After rolling off the edge of the cliff and falling ' M ' meters down,
the speed of the boulder is

       Square root of ( 19.6 M ) .

If M=111 meters, then the speed is <em>46.64 meters per second</em>.

We have known for roughly 500 years that if there's no air resistance,
the mass of the falling object makes no difference, and all objects fall
with the same acceleration, speed, time to splat, etc.

If the voltage across a circuit of constant resistance is doubled, the power dissipated by that circuit will
densk [106]

Answer:

The voltage will quadruple

Explanation:

The power dissipated in a circuit is given by

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

In this problem, the voltage across the circuit is doubled:

V' = 2V

So the new power dissipated is

P'=\frac{V'^2}{R}=\frac{(2V)^2}{R}=4\frac{V^2}{R}=4 P

so, the power dissipated will quadruple.

A bungee jumper with mass 65.0 kg jumps from a high bridge. After reaching his lowest point, he oscillates up and down, hitting
ololo11 [35]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a bungee jumper is 65 kg

The time period of the oscillation is 38 s, hitting a low point eight more times.It means its time period is

T=\dfrac{38}{8}\\\\T=4.75\ s

After many oscillations, he finally comes to rest 25.0 m below the level of the bridge.

For an oscillating object, the time period is given by :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

k = spring stiffness constant

So,

k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2m}{T^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2\times 65}{(4.75)^2}\\\\k=113.43\ N/m

When the cord is in air,

mg=kx

x = the extension in the cord

x=\dfrac{mg}{k}\\\\x=\dfrac{65\times 9.8}{113.6}\\\\x=5.6\ m

So, the unstretched length of the bungee cord is equal to 25 m - 5.6 m = 19.4 m
