Answer:Sleet only happens under very specific weather conditions. There must be a layer of air near the ground whose temperature is below freezing, where water turns to ice. Above this layer of freezing air must be a layer of warmer air. As snow falls through the warm air, it melts or partially melts into raindrops.

<h3>Answer:</h3>
18.75 grams
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
- Half-life refers to the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of the original mass.
- In this case, the half-life of element X is 10 years, which means it takes 10 years for a given mass of the element to decay by half of its original mass.
- To calculate the amount that remained after decay we use;
Remaining mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half-lives
Number of half-lives = Time for the decay ÷ Half-life
= 40 years ÷ 10 years
= 4
Therefore;
Remaining mass = 300 g × (1/2)⁴
= 300 g × 1/16
= 18.75 g
Hence, a mass of 300 g of an element X decays to 18.75 g after 40 years.
Answer:
C. Dissecting microscope
Explanation:
It is trying to see the surface
Explanation:
Adhesion means the ability to stick on the surface of another substance.
Water exhibits adhesive forces due to which it is able to stick to the glass. Due to adhesive forces water spreads over the surface of glass and sticks to it.
These adhesive forces between the glass and water enough that it deforms the spherical shape of water molecules and help them stick to the surface of glass. As a result, adhesive forces overcome the repulsion between like molecules.
Hence, water is able to “stick” to the side of glass due to strong adhesive forces.
