Physics

Answer:

I would say both

Explanation:

Each silicon atom has four valence electrons which are shared, forming covalent bonds with the four surrounding Si atoms.

Carbon contains four electrons in its outer shell. Therefore, it can form four covalent bonds with other atoms or molecules. The simplest organic carbon molecule is methane (CH4), in which four hydrogen atoms bind to a carbon atom (Figure 1).

Before radiant energy can be converted to thermal energy,it must be changed to what

vivado [14]

Answer:

The radiant energy is converted into electronic energy before it is transformed into thermal energy.

Explanation:

Radiant energy occurs in the form of "Electromagnetic radiation" and it can pass through all types of matter travelling through the universe. There are numerous advantages of radiant energy. When the radiant energy is incident upon a substance the energy from the sun light excites the electrons in the atom. This sets the atoms in vibrational motion.

Thermal energy is the kinetic energy of moving particles. The thermal energy increases with increase in movement and number of moving particles. When the atoms make a transition from electronically excited state to vibrational state, the energy transfer increases the temperature of the substance. This is felt as thermal energy. Hence, the radiant energy is changed into "electronic energy" before it is converted into "thermal energy".

A horizontal uniform meter stick supported at the 50-cm mark has a mass of 0.50 kg hanging from it at the 20-cm mark and a 0.30

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

70 cm

Explanation:

0.5 kg at 20 cm

0.3 kg at 60 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

$0.5(50-20)=0.3(60-50)+0.6x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{0.5(50-20)-0.3(60-50)}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow x=20\ cm$

The position of the third mass of 0.6 kg is at 20+50 = 70 cm

Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum is divided into seven ranges of wavelengths and is the part visible to the human eye

oksano4ka [1.4K]

In one of the most amazing coincidences in all of science,
the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that's visible to the
human eye is called "visible light".

Visible light is not 'divided' into anything. We mention the names
to seven of the colors in visible light. But all of the thousands of
OTHER colors that we can see are in there too, even though we
don't bother to list their names when we buzz through the rainbow
in the third grade.
