Why do you think the Founders divided the process into two steps (impeachment and conviction)?

The need for the ultimate check, and in particular the removal of the President, in a system of checks and balances was brought up early at the 1787 convention in Philadelphia. Constitutional heavyweights such as James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, James Wilson and Gouverneur Morris debated the Impeachment Clause at the convention, and Alexander Hamilton argued for it in The Federalist after the convention.

Today, impeachment remains as a rarely used process to potentially remove the “President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States” if Congress finds them guilty of “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

The impeachment process is described in Article I of the United States Constitution. Impeachment is the process by which senior political officials of the government can be removed from office, for reasons of treason, bribery or serious misconduct in the exercise of their functions.

The first step in this process is carried out by the House of Representatives, which is in charge of determining the origin of the impeachment, assessing the grounds and evidence that allow or not to prosecute the politician in question through a simple majority vote. Then, the Senate is in charge of the trial itself, determining the guilt or not of the official.

When a beta minus decay occurs in an unstable nucleus, what happens to the atomic number of the nucleus?The atomic number increa

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The atomic number increases by 1.

Explanation:

The beta minus decay is a process in which a neutron decays into a proton, emitting an electron and an anti-neutrino:

$n \rightarrow p + e + \bar{\nu}$

If this process occurs inside an unstable nucleus, we notice that:

- a neutron is converted into a proton, therefore

- the number of neutrons decreases by 1 and the number of protons increases by 1

Keep in mind that the atomic number of a nucleus corresponds to the number of protons it contains: therefore, since this number increases by 1, then the atomic number increases by 1.

Color depends on what characteristic of light?

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

a) its frequency

Explanation:

The color of visible light depends only on its frequency, not on the amplitude. In fact, the visible light spectrum can be classified into different colors according to the different frequencies:

Violet: 680-790 THz

Blue: 620-680 THz

Cyan: 600-620 THz

Green: 530-600 THz

Yellow: 510-530 THz

Orange: 480-510 THz

Red: 405-480 THz

And the color of the light has nothing to do with the amplitude of the wave. Therefore, the correct answer is

a) its frequency

Microphone Electricity needs

Finger [1]

Sound—energy we can hear—travels only so far before it soaks away into the world around us. Until electrical microphoneswere invented in the late 19th century, there was no satisfactory way to send sounds to other places. You could shout, but that carried your words only a little further. You couldn't shout in New York City and make yourself heard in London. And you couldn't speak in 1715 and have someone listen to what you said a hundred years later! Remarkably, such things are possible today: by converting sound energy into electricity and information we can store, microphones make it possible to send the sounds of our voices, our music, and the noises in our world to other places and other times. How do microphones work? Let's take a closer look!
