The substance is DNA and it would be found in the nucleus.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
C) Covalent bonds are generally weaker than ionic bonds because they overlap electrons to fill their outer shell.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>Covalent bond is a type of bond that results from the sharing of electrons between two non-metal atoms. </u></em>
- <em><u>Ionic bond on the other is a type of bond that results from the transfer of electrons between metal atoms and non metal atoms, where a metal atom looses electrons and a non-metal atom gains electrons.</u></em>
- <em><u>The amount of energy required to break an given bond determines how strong a particular bond is.</u></em> Ionic bonds require more energy to break as compared to covalent bond and therefore they are stronger than the covalent bonds.
Answer and Explanation: No, the explanation is not plausible. The puck sliding on the ice is an example of the <u>Principle</u> <u>of</u> <u>Conservation</u> <u>of</u> <u>Energy</u>, which can be enunciated as "total energy of a system is constant. It can be changed or transferred but the total is always the same".
When a player hit the pluck, it starts to move, gaining kinetic energy (K). As it goes up a ramp, kinetic energy decreases and potential energy (P) increases until it reaches its maximum. When potential energy is maximum, kinetic energy is zero and vice-versa.
So, at the beginning of the movement the puck only has kinetic energy. At the end, it gains potential energy until its maximum.
The representation is as followed:



As we noticed, mass of the object can be cancelled from the equation, making height be:

So, the height the puck reaches depends on velocity and acceleration due to gravity, not mass of the puck.
