<h3>Answer;</h3>

a group of protons and neutrons that are surrounded by electrons

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction. Atoms of the same element are similar, while different elements have different atoms.
Atom of an element is made up of sub atomic particles, namely; protons, neutrons, and electrons. The nucleus of the atoms contains the protons and the neutrons, while the energy shells surrounding the nucleus contains the electrons.
The protons are positively charged , while the neutrons have no charge, which makes the nucleus positively charged. The electrons are negatively charged.

The correct answer is going to be C, because in the nucleus of an atom there are protons and electrons; which can't move, and are surrounded by electrons on the electrical cloud

In the design of wall and column forms, the two most important factors are which of the following? a. rate of placement of the c

Simora [160]

Answer:

c. length of the wall or column and the rate of placement of the concrete

Explanation:

when designing for wall and column form-works, it is of utmost important to know the length of the wall and the type of concrete placement to be used.

Concrete placement has methods and precaution to be taken when doing the form work

if the concrete placement is manually (hand or funnel) the form work height should not be more than 1 m to enable easy compaction and vibration of concrete in the form.

Also, if the form work length is too long and it is not well reinforced, it tends to burg if the force apply during concrete placement or during vibration is much.

Delivery trucks that operate by making use of energy stored in a rotating flywheel have been used in Europe. The trucks are char

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

KE = 2.535 x 10⁷ Joules

Explanation:

given,

angular speed of the fly wheel = 940 rad/s

mass of the cylinder = 630 Kg

radius = 1.35 m

KE of flywheel = ?

moment of inertia of the cylinder

$I = \dfrac{1}{2}mr^2$

= $\dfrac{1}{2}\times 630\times 1.35^2$

= 574 kg m²

kinetic energy of the fly wheel

$KE = \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

$KE =\dfrac{1}{2}\times 574\times 940^2$

KE = 2.535 x 10⁷ Joules

the kinetic energy of the flywheel is equal to KE = 2.535 x 10⁷ Joules

What is the speed of a truck that travels 10 i’m in 10 minutes ?

fiasKO [112]

10km/10min is a legitimate speed. So is meters/sec, km/hour (kph), etc.

Kph is very common for vehicles:

10 km/10 min (60 min/hr) = 60 kph

A gas is collected from a radioactive material; upon inspection, the gas is identified as helium. the presence of the helium ind

Flura [38]

The presence of helium gas indicates the radioactive sample is most likely decaying by α-decay, or alpha decay. α-decay is the type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits α particles. α particles are Helium nuclei. So the correct answer would be α-decay.

Identify each picture as either an inelastic collision or elastic collision

Ivan

Answer:

Inelastic collision:

A collision in which there is a loss of Kinetic Energy due to internal friction of the bodies colliding.

Characteristics of an inelastic collision:

the momentum of the system is conserved
the momentum of the system is conservedloss of kinetic energy

In a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies that collide with each other stick together.

Elastic collision:

A collision in which the kinetic energy of the two bodies, before and after the collision, remains the same.

Characteristics of elastic collision:

the momentum of the system is conserved
no loss of kinetic energy

In everyday life, no collision is perfectly elastic.

__________________

ANSWER:

Given examples:

Two cars colliding with each other form an example of inelastic collision.

Reason:

(They lose kinetic energy and come to a stop after the collision.)

A ball bouncing after colliding with a surface is an example of elastic collision

Reason:

(a very less amount of kinetic energy is lost)
