boiling water. after a while, mary observes the dent disappearing until it is no longer present. why did the dent disappear?
a. the water caused an increase in temperature of the air inside the ball and a decrease in pressure.
b. the water caused an increase in temperature of the air inside the ball and an increase in pressure.
c. the water caused a decrease in temperature of the air inside the ball and a decrease in pressure.

The right option is; b. the water caused an increase in temperature of the air inside the ball and an increase in pressure.

The dent (hollow area formed by pressing or hitting) from the ping-pong ball disappeared because energy was transferred from the hot boiling water in which the ball was placed to the air inside the ball. This transferred energy will increase the temperature of the air inside the ball and the air molecules will begin to move faster with a greater force. Hence, causing an increase in pressure.

Summarize the bonding properties of carbon
notka56 [123]
Well, Carbon has 4 Valence Electrons. I'm sure you know this, but valance electrons allow electrons to covalently bond with one another. The elements, when sharing the electrons, want to have 8 valance electrons. So carbon has 4 valance electrons so it can bond with itself, or another say 4 hydrogen [becuase hydrogen can live with 2 valance electrons]. Hope this helps. Remember: Electrons <3 8 valance electron bonds Carbon's 4 + Carbon's 4= 8 true love at first bond! OR Carbon's 4+ Hydrogen's 1 [x4] = 8 hope this help

andrezito [222]

Answer:

The mass of a star determines its life cycle, that is, more the mass, shorter will be its life cycle. The mass of the star is determined by the concentration of matter, which is found within its nebula. In the nebula, with time, the hydrogen gas comes in close proximity with each other due to gravity and starts to spin.  

With the brisk spinning, the gas heats up and turns into a protostar. The temperature now reaches 15,000,000 degrees and within the core of the cloud, the phenomenon of nuclear fusion takes place. The cloud now contracts a little, starts to glow brightly, and turns stable. The cloud now becomes a prime sequence star, and will stay in this phase for millions of years, the Sun of our galaxy is in this stage at the moment.

What is the function Alveoli?
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The main function of the alveoli is storage of air for a shorter period which permits absorption of oxygen into the blood. The gaseous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide typically takes place in the alveoli. The main function of the bronchiole is to allow the passage of air freely into the lungs
