1) This is a definition.
2) Protons are given by the bottom number (since atomic number = number of protons).
3) Neutrons = (mass number)-(atomic number), which are the top and bottom numbers, respectively.
4) Nuclear fusion involves combining two things together, which is only reflected by the last option.
5) This is a fact.
6) This is a fact.
7) This is a fact.
8) This is a fact.
9) The correct option is the explanation.
This is a problem involving heat transfer through radiation. The solution to this problem would be to use the formula for heat flux.
ΔQ/Δt = (1000 W/m²)∈Acosθ
A is the total surface area:
A = (1 m²) + 4(1.8 cm)(1m/100 cm)(√(1 m²))
A = 1.072 m²
ΔQ is the heat of melting ice.
ΔQ = mΔHfus
Let's find its mass knowing that the density of ice is 916.7 kg/m³.
ΔQ = (916.7 kg/m³)(1 m²)(1.8 cm)(1m/100 cm)(<span>333,550 J/kg)
</span>ΔQ = 5,503,780 J
5,503,780 J/Δt = (1000 W/m²)(0.05)(1.072 m²)(cos 33°)
<em>Δt = 122,434.691 s or 34 hours</em>
