Describe meteor showers​

Chemistry

Meteor showers occur when dust or particles from asteroids or comets enter Earth's atmosphere at very high speed. When they hit the atmosphere, meteors rub against air particles and create friction, heating the meteors. The heat vaporizes most meteors, creating what we call shooting stars.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.
iragen [17]

Answer:

Solid:- Particles vibrate in a rigid structure and do not move relative to their neighbors.

Liquid:- It takes the shape of its container but keeps a constant volume.

Gas:- Particles move rapidly and independently of each other.

Plasma:- It is the most common state of matter in the universe.

Explanation:

Solids are one of the three states of matter and, unlike liquids or gases, they have a definite shape that is not easy to change. Different solids have particular properties such as stretch, STRENGTH, or hardness that make them useful for different jobs.

A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure

Gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume. Gases have lower density than other states of matter, such as solids and liquids. When more gas particles enter a container, there is less space for the particles to spread out, and they become compressed. The particles exert more force on the interior volume of the container.

A plasma is a gas that has been energized to the point that some of the electrons break free from, but travel with, their nucleus.

How many cubic miles are 8.48E+08 gallons of water? The density of water at ambient conditions is 1.000 g/mL.
Inessa05 [86]

The volume of the water in cubic meter is determined as 3.2 x 10⁶ m³ .

<h3>Weight of one gallon of water</h3>

The weight of 1 gal of water is given as 3785 g

Mass of 8.48 x 10⁸ gal = 3785 x 8.48 x 10⁸ = 3.2 x 10¹² g

<h3>Volume of the water in cubic meters</h3>

Volume = mass/density

Volume = 3.2 x 10¹² g/1 gmL

Volume = 3.2 x 10¹² mL x 10⁻⁶ m³/mL = 3.2 x 10⁶ m³

Thus, the volume of the water in cubic meter is determined as 3.2 x 10⁶ m³ .

23492u undergoes alpha decay. what is the atomic number of the resulting element.
mash [69]
Alpha decay involves the loss of an alpha particle, aka a helium nucleus. This results in the mass number of the original element decreasing by 4 and the atomic number decreasing by 2. Assuming 23942u is uranium (92), the resulting element's atomic number is 90, making it thorium.
