Answer:

A. Lake

Explanation:

We need to recall that the water which contains less than 1% salts is called as freshwater.

In lakes water comes from rain, melting of ice from mountains, seepage of ground water, and water streams. These all are fresh sources of water. Therefore, A is the right answer.

B is not the right answer because river water dissolves salts while passing through the stones and riverbeds. So, water is not always fresh in rivers.

C is not correct, because ocean water contains a huge amount of salts.

Although streams have fresh water but they also have small size. Therefor, D is also not right answer.

This is A.) lake. A river is a small amount of water that isn't always fresh water. A stream is too small. And an ocean is made of salt water.

I believe the answer would be mass. Low mass stars and medium mass stars often become white dwarfs when they die while high mass stars explode in violent explosions called supernovas and usually leave behind a black hole or a neutron star.

Exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) are an active area of modern research. Suppose astronomers find such a planet that

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

8.829 m/s²

Explanation:

M = Mass of Earth

m = Mass of Exoplanet

$g_e$ = Acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s²

g = Acceleration due to gravity on Exoplanet

$m=M-0.1M\\\Rightarrow m=0.9M$

$g_e=G\frac{M}{r^2}$

$g=G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}$

Dividing the equations we get

$\frac{g}{g_e}=\frac{G\frac{0.9M}{r^2}}{G\frac{M}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{g}{g_e}=0.9\\\Rightarrow g=0.9g_e\\\Rightarrow g=0.9\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow g=8.829\ m/s^2$

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Exoplanet is 8.829 m/s²

Burka [1]

Answer:

a) $v(2) = 3.9\,\frac{m}{s}$ , b) $v(4) = -15.7\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

a) The equation for vertical velocity is obtained by deriving the function with respect to time:

$v(t) = 23.5 -9.8\cdot t$

The velocities at given instants are, respectivelly:

$v(2) = 3.9\,\frac{m}{s}$

$v(4) = -15.7\,\frac{m}{s}$

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons in it. If the atom has 20 electrons in it, explain what type of charge it has and how you can t

gogolik [260]

Answer:

The iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation.

Explanation:

The atom has a nucleus, where the protons and neutrons, which are the subatomic particles with the highest mass, are located. Practically all the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus.Protons have a positive electrical charge, while neutrons have no charge.

Electrons move around the nucleus with other negatively charged particles.

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons and 20 electrons in it. That is, there are 6 more protons than electrons. As mentioned, protons are positively charged. So <u><em>the iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation</em></u>.
