It is the concept of surface tension that helps the coin to float on the top of the water in the glass. The surface tension acts just opposite to the gravitational force and that is why when any metal placed in the water it will float and come on the surface. Hope this helps!

Answer:

Surface tension is the result of water molecules pulling inward with a strong attractive force. This attractive force brings the molecules on the surface of the water close together and causes the surface of the water to be drawn toward the water molecules beneath the surface. Since there are no water molecules above the surface, there are uneven forces. This causes surface tension, allowing the coin to float on the water’s surface.

attashe74 [19]

Answer : Option D) the electrons in some metals pair up to create a magnetic field.


Explanation : Most of the metals are magnetic in nature including some exceptions. When the unpaired electrons get aligned with the magnetic field they posses magnetism. Also there are some paired electrons in metals which align themselves according to the magnetic field and create magnetism in them.

Which statement correctly pairs the climate factor with its effect on temperature? *
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

A region on top of a mountain is cooler than at the base.

Explanation:

Pressure and temperature have direct relationship with each other. With the decrease in pressure, the temperature decreases and vice versa. When the air rises in the atmosphere, the pressure starts to fall. The low pressure at the peak of the mountains tends to cause the fall in temperature. It is because of this reason that it is cooler at the top of the mountain while the temperature is less cool in the foothills.
