Answer: B) Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.

Explanation:

Conduction: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct contact between the two object.  Example: heating a pan on stove.

Convection: This type of heat transfer happens when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas) due to the movement of hot layers to the top and cold layers to the bottom which leads to convection currents. Example: Heating of swimming pool.

Radiation: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct transfer of energy through empty space.The electromagnetic radiation from the surface of an object which is due to the object's temperature is radiation. Example: Heating of earth's surface.

The reaction of glucose, c6h12o6, with oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water. what is the sum of the coefficients in the bala
Misha Larkins [42]

The balanced equation for the given reaction:

C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) + 6O₂→ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

So in the balanced equation the coefficients before glucose, oxygen, water and carbon dioxide are 1, 6, 6 and 6 respectively.

Therefore, the sum of the coefficients in the balanced equation

= 1 + 6 + 6 + 6

= 19

The correct answer is 19.

A lab is done using different metals and the density of the metals are recorded in a data table. What is the independent variabl
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:   The independent variable is the type of metal being used.

{Note:  The "dependent variable" is the "measured density" that corresponds to each of the metals."}.

___________________________________________

Explanation:

___________________________________________

The "independent variable", which is plotted on the "x-axis" (horizontal axis), is the variable that can be "controlled/manipulated".  In this case, this would be the type of metal chosen.

The "dependent variable" , which is plotted on the "y-axis" (vertical axis) is the "obtained value/measurement/result" (that "cannot be controlled/manipulated").

In this case, the "density", which is the "measured value" that corresponds to the selected "meal", is the "dependent variable".

Hope this helpful to you!

   Wishing you well!
