7 0

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

  • Ionosphere is the outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere,extending from 60 km to 1,000 km altitude.
  • It mainly consists of ionized gases by the solar radiation.
  • It is very important layer to Earth because it influences the radio propagation to distant places on Earth.
  • Being ionized it reflects high frequency(shortwave) radio waves to the sky as well as to the Earth by a technique called "skip" or "skywave" propagation for the communication over long distances.

Which nuclei is not radioactive? <br> A. Am-241<br> B. Mg-24<br> C. Pu-241<br> D. U-238
Helen [10]

Hello!

Which nuclei is NOT radioactive?

A) Am-241 B) Mg-24 C) Pu-241 D) U-238

Solving:

It is noteworthy that chemical elements located on the periodic table in the lanthanide and actinide groups are radioactive.  

Am-241 (americium) belongs to the group of actinides and is a heavy and radioactive metal.  

Mg-24 (magnesium) is an essential element for the body, mainly for the nervous system, in addition to synthesizing proteins and serves for hormonal control, belongs to the group of alkaline earth metals and is a non-radioactive nucleus.

Pu-241 (plutonium) is an element that is isotope of fission by plutonium, belongs to the group of actinides and is a heavy and radioactive metal.  

U-238 (uranium) is an element that is isotope of non-fission uranium, belongs to the group of actinides and is a heavy and radioactive metal.

Answer:

B) Mg-24

Scilla [17]
   <span> The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °C. At higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be.....
a) higher, because the altitude is greater.
b) lower, because temperatures are lower.
c) the same, because water always boils at 100 °C.
d) higher, because there are fewer water molecules in the air.
==> e) lower, because the atmospheric pressure is lower.
--------------------------
Water boils at a lower temperature on top of a mountain because there is less air pressure on the molecules.

Pete is driving down 7th Street. He drives 300 meters in 18 seconds. Assuming he does not speed up or slow down, what is his spe
Korolek [52]

Answer:

16.67m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance Pete drove  = 300m

Time taken  = 18s

Unknown:

Speed  = ?

Solution:

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time.

It is mathematically expressed as;

   Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}

Insert the parameters and solve;

  Speed  = \frac{300}{18}  = 16.67m/s
