Answer:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space.

Which of the following radiations consists of a helium nucleus emitted by some radioactive substances? Alpha radiation Beta radi

erica [24]

Answer: Alpha radiation

Explanation: Alpha decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha radiation, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\textrm{He}$

Beta decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing beta radiation, the atomic number is increased by 1 unit.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}Y+_{-1}^0e$

Gamma decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing gamma radiation, the mass number remains same.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma$

Velocity is the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph.<br>O<br>A. True<br>False

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The slope of a velocity-time graph gives acceleration. Acceleration can be defined as the change in velocity with time.

A slope denotes the gradient of line. It takes into consideration the changes on both y and x axis. The ratio of the changes gives the slope.

On a velocity-time graph, the y-axis is the velocity and the x-axis is time. The change in velocity with time gives acceleration.

The slope of an acceleration

-time graph is not velocity.
