The answer is (2). Heat always flows down the temperature gradient, from high temperature to low temperature. Therefore, since the person is the warmest, heat flows from the person to both the ice and the air. Additionally, since the air is warmer than the ice, heat flows from the air to the ice.
<h3>1. <u>Answer;</u></h3>
a. the strong nuclear force is much greater than the electric force.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>For an atom to be stable it means it has enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus together permanently. </u></em>
- Therefore, <em><u>an unstable atom lacks enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus permanently and thus undergoes decay to achieve stability. Unstable atoms are therefore referred to being radioactive.</u></em>
-
Small atoms are stable; <u>this is because they have equal number of protons and neutrons and thus the protons and neutrons fill up energy levels while maximizing the strong force binding the nucleus together. </u>
<h3>9.<u> Answer;</u></h3>
b. change into a different element altogether.
Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay. Therefore, uranium-238 will <em><u>change into a different element altogether</u></em>.
<h3><u>
Explanation;</u></h3>
- Unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay in order to achieve stability of their nucleus.
- <em><u>Uranium-238 is an example of such atom, which may undergo decay to achieve stability.</u></em>
- <em><u>Alpha decay is one of the types of decays,</u></em> others being beta decay and gamma decay. <em><u>In alpha decay the radioactive isotope undergoes decay such that its mass number is decreased by four and its atomic number is decreased by two.</u></em>
-
Therefore, <em><u>Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form a different element whose mass number is 234 and atomic number is 90, known as thorium-234. </u></em>
Answer:
Gases and particles in Earth's atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
One reason could be that the water in this experiment, didn’t boil, but instead became a “chemical reaction” from atmospheric pressure which is normal.
While heating two different samples, of
sea level water it decides on a temperature of 102°C and the other boils at 99.2°C. Basically calculating of the percent error.
