No. Solids can't undergo convection,

Explanation:

Convection is heat removal by movement hot matter as exposed to cold matter bure to density differences in the expression of the gravity field. or heat transfer within moving currents.Convection works because hotter quicker moving molecules have a lower frequency and consequently rise to the surface. In a solid the molecules can't move corresponding to each other they can only vibrate

No. Solids can't undergo convection, the reason is that convection works because moving molecules which are hotter and faster have a lower density and therefore rise to the surface. With a solid now, the molecules don't move they can only vibrate.

Therefore solids conduct.

Answer:

Atoms of tellurium (Te) have the greatest average number of neutrons equal to 76.

Explanation:

In the periodic table, Elements are represented with their respected symbols. Above the symbol is the elements atomic number which is equal to the number of protons in each atom. Below the symbol is the mass number of that element which is roughly equal to the sum of neutrons and protons of that atom.

To calculate the number of neutrons we can take the difference of Atomic number and mass number:

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number

- Tin:

Atomic number = 50

Mass number = 119

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 119 - 50

Number of neutrons = 69

- Antimony(Sb):

Atomic number = 51

Mass number = 122

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 122 - 51

Number of neutrons = 71

- Tellurium(Te):

Atomic number = 52

Mass number = 128

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 128 - 52

Number of neutrons = 76

- Iodine(I):

Atomic number = 53

Mass number = 127

Number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number = 127 - 53

Number of neutrons = 74

Here, the greatest number of neutrons is for the atoms of Tellurium(Te).

A carbon fiber car bumper is hit by another car with the stress of 106,483 Pa. If carbon fiber has a Young's modulus of 228 x 10

hoa [83]

Answer:

Stress = 4.67 * 10^-7 N/m²

Explanation:

Young's modulus of the material = Stress/Strain

Given

Young's modulus = 228 x 10^9 Pa

Stress = 106,483 Pa

Required

Strain

From the formula;

Strain = Stress/Young modulus

Strain = 106,483 /228 x 10^9

Stress = 4.67 * 10^-7 N/m²

A bottle dropped from a balloon reaches the ground in 20 s. determine the height of the balloon if (a) it was at rest in the air

romanna [79]

a) 1960 m b) 960 m Assumptions. 1. Ignore air resistance. 2. Gravity is 9.80 m/s^2 For the situation where the balloon was stationary, the equation for the distance the bottle fell is d = 1/2 AT^2 d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2 d = 4.9 * 400 m d = 1960 m For situation b, the equation is quite similar except we need to account for the initial velocity of the bottle. We can either assume that the acceleration for gravity is negative, or that the initial velocity is negative. We just need to make certain that the two effects (falling due to acceleration from gravity) and (climbing due to initial acceleration) counteract each other. So the formula becomes d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50 m/s * T d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50m/s *20s d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2 - 1000 m d = 4.9 * 400 m - 1000 m d = 1960 m - 1000 m d = 960 m
