Which of the following describes the charge of an atom before any electrons are transferred?
gregori [183]

The answer is neutral charge. An atom element will always and has to be stable, in order for this state to happen. The charge of an electron has to be neutral. For atom with neutral charge, the proton will always equal the number of electron.

A net force of 24 N is acting on a 4.0-kg object. Find the acceleration in m/s2.
Inessa [10]

Hi there!

We can use Newton's Second Law:
\Sigma F = ma

ΣF = Net force (N)
m = mass (kg)
a = acceleration (m/s²)

We can rearrange the equation to solve for the acceleration.

a = \frac{\Sigma F}{m}\\\\a = \frac{24}{4} = \boxed{6 \frac{m}{s^2}}

In which wavelength region(s) would we need to carry out observations in order to study the accretion disk around a white dwarf
Inga [223]

In “Ultraviolet light” and “X-ray” light wavelength regions are needed to carry out observations to study the “accretion disk” around “a white dwarf” in a “binary system”.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Occurrence of an accretion disk is due to presence of diffuse material around a white dwarf in orbital motion. White dwarf is constituted from electron-degenerate matter therefore also called as degenerate dwarf in binary system. Frictional forces and gravitational forces are responsible to compress and high “temperature” of the material, results with emission of “electromagnetic radiation”. “Accretion disks” of white dwarf radiate in the UV-rays and X-rays wavelength region of spectrum.

In which of the following is radiation the only type of heat transfer?
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

C.Vacuum

Explanation:

There are three methods of transfer of heat:

1) Conduction: conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact between the molecules of two objects (or two substances). The particles of the hotter object vibrate faster than the particles of the colder object, so energy is transferred by collisions of the molecules from the hotter object to the colder object.

2) Convection: convection is the transfer of heat by mass movement of molecules. This occurs in fluids (liquids or gases), when an external source of heat is applied to the fluid. As a result, the part of the fluid closer to the source gets warmer, so it becomes less dense and rises, while the colder part sinks and replaces the hotter part, forming a convective current. The process continues until the heat source is removed.

3) Radiation: radiation is the transfer of heat carried by electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves can travel in any medium and in a vacuum, so they are the only type of heat transfer that can occur in a vacuum (while conduction and convection cannot occur in a vacuum).
