<span>A sound wave is a pressure wave that results from the vibration of the particles o the medium from the source. The motion of the particles in the medium is parallel to the direction of the energy transport. The type of wave formed by a sound wave is the longitudinal wave. </span>A longitudinal wave is characterized by rarefactions. A longitudinal wave is a wave motion wherein the particles in the wave medium are displaced parallel to transport. When motion is detected from the source, the particle next to it vibrates from its rest position and a progressive change in phase vibration is observed at each particle within that wave. The result is that the energy is transported from one region to the other. These combined motions result in the movement of alternating regions of rarefaction in the direction of propagation.

If a calorie is equivalent to 4.184 joules how many joules are contained in 250 kg calories slice of pizza
Andreyy89
In order to answer this, we will set up a simple ratio as such:

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories

1 kilocalorie = 4,184 joules

250 kilocalories = x joules

Cross multiplying the second and third equations, we get:

x joules = 4,184 * 250

250 kilocalories are equivalent to 1,046 kJ

Suppose you sketch a model of an atom using the ones here as a guide. How would you build a model that is ionized? How would you
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

An atom is constructed of three different particles known as electrons, protons and neutrons.

These particles have different mass and charges and are responsible for various characters than an atom posses.

An electron has a negative charge, a proton has positive charge and charge of neutron is neutral. Equal number of electrons and protons are present in an atom that make it electrically neutral but different conditions can occur if we remove these particles from an atom.

1 : Model of an ionized atom - an ionized atom is one which has some net charge on this. It can be either a positive charge or a negative charge.

If we need to sketch the model of an ionized atom then one should either keep the number of electrons less or proton.

2: Model of radioactive atom : A radioactive atom is one an unstable atom and has access of energy in its center. It can be caused by adding either neutrons or protons.
