Deffense [45]3 years ago

Answer and Explanation:

a. An oxygen-filled balloon is not able to float in the air, because the oxygen inside the balloon is of the same density, that is, the same "weight" as the oxygen outside the balloon and present in the atmosphere. The balloon can only float if the gas inside it is less dense than atmospheric oxygen. Helium gas is less dense than atmospheric gas, so if a balloon is filled with helium gas, that balloon will be able to float because of the difference in density.

b. The ship is able to float in the water because its steel construction is hollow and full of air. This makes the average density of this ship less than the density of water, which makes the ship lighter than water and for this reason, this ship is able to float. In addition, the ship is partially immersed, allowing the weight of the ship on the water to counteract the buoyant force that the water promotes on the ship. Weight and buoyant are two opposing forces that keep the ship afloat.

The speed of x-rays is A.faster than light B.slower than the speed of gamma rays C.Same as the speed of radio waves D.same as th
Vinvika [58]

Electromagnetic waves are those waves that are composed of electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the propagation. All electromagnetic waves have the same speed.

That is, 3×10⁸ m/s.

X-ray is one of the electromagnetic waves. So are light, gamma rays, and radio waves.

Thus the speed of all these waves is equal.

Thus, the correct answer is option C, "Same as speed of radio waves"

Which type of energy is associated with electric currents?
zalisa [80]
B. Electrical energy

 Among the choices given, the type of energy associated with electric currents is electrical energy. By its definition, electric current is the flow of charged particles through a conductor or a conduction medium, for example, a wire. Basically, it involves electricity. It is similar to water current but instead of water molecules, charged particles move down a conductor. These charged particles are mostly electrons which move freely and at random. When all the free electrons move in the same direction, a current is created.
