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.

Do birds with longer or shorter wings fly faster? Write a hypothesis
konstantin123 [22]
<span>I believe that birds with longer wings will fly faster as longer wings will allow the birds to push away more air and create more force allowing them to move at a greater velocity. I believe that wing length is one of the greatest determinants in overall speed for a flying species of animal.</span>

A drop of water with a mass of 0.48 g is vaporized at 100 ∘C and condenses on the surface of a 55- g block of aluminum that is i
bagirrra123 [75]

The final temperature in Celsius of the metal block is 49°C.

<h3>How to find the number of moles ?</h3>

Moles water = \frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}

                     = \frac{0.48\ g}{18\ \text{g/mol}}

                     = 0.0266 moles  

                   

Heat lost by water = 0.0266 mol x 44.0 kJ/mol

                                = 1.17 kJ

                                = 1170 J           [1 kJ = 1000 J]

Heat lost = Heat gained

Heat gained by aluminum = 1170 J  

1170 = 55 x 0.903 (T - 25) = 49.7 T - 1242  

1170 + 1242 = 49.7 T  

T = 48.5°C (49°C at two significant figures)

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The final temperature in Celsius of the metal block is 49°C.

What is the penetrating power of beta
zlopas [31]
The penetrating power of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays varies greatly. Alpha particles can be blocked by a few pieces of paper. Beta particles pass through paper but are stopped by aluminum foil. Gamma rays are the most difficult to stop and require concrete, lead, or other heavy shielding to block them.

Fe(NO3)2 not sure how to get the oxidation numbers of all elements
Shtirlitz [24]
You must remember that oxidation number of hydrogen in acids is always +1, oxidation number of oxygen in oxides & acids is always -2... metals has always oxidation number on plus!

group NO3 comes from HNO3...and oxidation number of whole acid group is always on minus and equal to the amount of hydrogen atoms in this acid... so oxidation number of NO3 = -1

we have 2 NO3 groups so 2*(-1) = -2 and that is the reason why oxidation number of Fe in this formula must be +2... because sum of all elements always gives 0!

Now we could count of oxidation number for nitrogen... we write HNO3 and start counting from right to left:
3*(-2) from oxygens + 1 from hydrogen = -5
so nitrogen must have +5 oxidation number... because sum all in formula must be 0.
