The correct answer is: D) excited

A molecule is in an excited state when its energy level is higher than the ground state. That molecule stays in excited state for short time and then returns to a state with lower energy. This return to a lower energy level is described as decay and is the inverse process of excitation.

The transition from ground to excited state of an atom is possible if electrons gain energy that is higher than the difference in energies between the two energy orbits.

An ice fisherman has fallen through the ice. In response to the cold water, sensors in the man's skin send a "cold" signal to th
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Hypothalamus

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a part of the brain which possesses temperature receptor cells that detect changes in the man’s temperature, thereby sending signals in the form of electrical nerve impulses to the man’s muscles and nervous system, which in turn respond in counteracting the drop in the normal temperature of the body.  

Once the muscle cells of this man receive these signals, they produce heat through thermogenesis by shivering when the muscle cells begin to contract. This is one of the mechanisms by which thermoregulation is achieved as controlled by the hypothalamus in the brain of the man.

Denzel's mom has asked him to organize the family's trash for disposal. Which of these items should he put with the hazardous wa
hjlf
The answer would be used batteries. You would be able to recycle the vegetable waste within fertilizing and/or throw it away safely by disposing it in a trashcan since it is not a hazard towards the environment. As for aluminum cans, they are recyclable and are easy to use again once it is filtered through the system. However, batteries are NOT recyclable nor easy to dispose because they can release Alkaline which can harm the environment.

For larger distances such as the distance between objects in the far reaches of our galaxy astronomers ensure in units of?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Lightyears

Explanation:

When dealing with very large interstellar distances, astronomers do not use the regular miles, kilometers, or meters we are used to. This is because they are just too small to be used as a metric when measuring such large distances. As a matter of fact, the earthly number system will quickly be exhausted when trying to measure some of these interstellar distances.

Instead, astronomers make use of Lightyears. Lightyears are defined by the distance traveled by an object moving at the speed of light if it was moving constantly at that speed for one year.

This can properly be used to estimate interstellar distances. since its value is very large. 1 lightyear = 9,461,000,000,000 Km

If we say that our closest star is 9 lightyears away, we are saying that it will take an object moving at the speed of light 9 years to travel from that star to our planet.
