Answer:

A. 10

Explanation:

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number (Z).

(N) Neutrons = 10

(M) Atomic Mass = 20

(Z) Atomic Number = 10

Z + __ = M

10 + __ = 20

10 + 10 = 20

What is latent heat? Group of answer choices Energy released when water evaporates. Energy hidden in water vapor in the air. Ene
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Energy absorbed or hidden when water evaporates

Explanation:

The heat that is required to make a phase change is known as latent heat.

A phase change occurs when matter changes state. For example from solid to liquid, from liquid to gas, among others.

When changing from liquid to gas (for example when water evaporates), the heat necessary for this to happen is called latent heat of vaporization. The word latent means hidden, because a change in temperature is not perceived during the phase change, even when heat is being added, thus it is said that the heat is hidden or latent.

So the answer is:

  • Energy absorbed or hidden when water evaporates.

*Another type of latent heat is the latent heat of fusion, which is when a solid becomes liquid.

Larger size, longer life, and specialization are three advantages to<br> being a
Ivanshal [37]

Answer: Multicellular organism

Explanation:

Multicellular organisms refer to living things that have more than a single cell as opposed to unicellular organisms such as bacteria. Humans as well as all animals and land plants fall under this classification.

Multicellular organisms can live longer because new cells can be produced when others die. They are also larger due to the presence of many different cells which then specialize in different roles to ensure the survival of the organism.

Calculate the rate of energy transfer by a 5 ohms resistor when there is a current of 0.2 A in it.​
vredina [299]

Answer: The rate of energy transfer by a 5 ohms resistor when there is a current of 0.2 A in it.= 1.25 watt.

Explanation:

  • The rate of energy transfer from one point to another is known as power.
  • Its SI. unit is <em>Watt.</em>

Formula to compute power:

Power = I^2 R, I = cureent, R = resistance.

Given R = 5 ohm , Current = 0.5 A.

Then, power = (0.5)^2\times 5=0.25\times5=1.25\ watt

Hence, the rate of energy transfer by a 5 ohms resistor when there is a current of 0.2 A in it.= 1.25 watt.
