Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. It comes from radioactive decay of uranium.

It is usually found in igneous rock and soil, but in some cases, well water can also be a source of radon.

How does the automatic hammer convert gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Exolaiend in explanation section

Explanation:

First of all, the automatic hammer is used to drive nails into tight spaces where where we can't get a sufficient striking force if we are to use a normal regular hammer in driving the nail.

So the nail to be driven is lifted out of rest(it's position). The energy here is gravitational potential energy.

Now, when it is driven into the tight spaces, the gravitational energy would be converted to kinetic energy due to the motion and speed involved.

Below are the steps of the engineering process (not necessarily in order): 1) Know the background 2) Do the work 3) Make a plan
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

4 - 1 - 3 - 2 - 6 - 5

Explanation:

During an engineering process, first, we need to identify the problem, or the need because the process only will occur because of some need. Then, it's necessary to know as much as possible about the problem and the things that already exist or already were tested to solve it. Knowing the background will make the work easy.

After that, it's necessary to plan the things we'll do, knowing the costs, the time needed for activities, how many people will be necessary for each step, etc. It's really important to make a plan. Then, do the work, following the plan. Thus, the process must be tested. During the test of the results, some problems must be found, so it's time to evaluate and redesign the process, to solve these problems found.

Antacids work to relieve stomach acids because of which of the following types of reactions?
Anastaziya [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which larger compound breaks down into two or more smaller compounds.

AB\rightarrow A+B

Double displacement reactions is defined as the chemical reaction in which exchange of ions takes place.

AB+CD\rightarrow AD+CB

Synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which two or more smaller compounds combines to form a single large compound.

A+B\rightarrow AB

Single displacement reaction is a type of reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its chemical reaction.

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

In stomach, an acid is present known as hydrochloric acid and to neutralize its effect, antacid is taken which has CaCO_ as a component.

The reaction between HCl and CaCO_3 is a type of neutralization reaction and it is a type of double displacement reaction.

The equation between the two follows:

CaCO_3+HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+H_2O+CO_2

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

An igneous rock that _____ is made of really small mineral crystals. A. cools rapidly B. crystallizes slowly C. undergoes extrem
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: An igneous rock that cools rapidly is made of really small mineral crystals.

Explanation:

The layers inside the earth are hot enough to melt a rock. The liquid or molten rock is known as magma.

When a molten rock cools and solidifies, it results in the formation of an igneous rock.

The slow cooling of magma will result in the formation of an igneous rock with large crystals. Whereas, rapid cooling of lava will result in the formation of an igneous rock with small crystals.

Thus, it can be concluded that an igneous rock that cools rapidly is made of really small mineral crystals.
