IceJOKER [234]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

— Washing with soap and water is an effective way to destroy and dislodge many microbes

Explanation:

  1. Soap actually kill germs on our hands, it breaks them up and removes them
  2. .But soap molecules have two different ends to them.
  3. One end is attracted to water molecules – this is called hydrophilic
  4. – and the other end loves oil and fat molecules – this is called hydrophobic.
  5. Soap is able to bind to the oils on our hands, and then mix with the water to wash all the germs away.

Two sound waves are emitted from identical sources at the same time. They each travel a distance of 10 m, but one wave reaches t
kompoz [17]

Answer:

<em>Varying frequency</em> between both waves accounts for difference in speed.

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is dependent on four major factors:

  1. wavelength
  2. frequency
  3. medium, and
  4. temperature 

Assuming equal temperature and medium of travel of these sound waves, and given that the wavelength (that is distance of travel) is equal, the only varying factor would be their frequency.

Wave speed is calculated by multiplying the wavelength times the frequency

⇒ Speed = λ * <em>f</em>

Which of the following statements best describes the properties of aluminum-28?
Contact [7]

d. When aluminum-28 undergoes beta decay, silicon-28 is produced.

Explanation:

When the nuclei of aluminium-28 decays, it produces silicon- 28:

    Aluminium    ²⁸₁₃Al

    Silicon 28      ²⁸₁₄Si

    beta particle     ⁰₋₁\beta

       

           ²⁸₁₃Al        →          ²⁸₁₄Si      +        ⁰₋₁\beta

This way, the mass and atomic number are conserved.

Conservation of mass number:

                28 = 28 + 0,  28 = 28

                 13 = 14 -1 ,       13 = 13
