Answer:

Helium nucleus

Explanation:

Alpha particles have two protons and two neutrons, wich is the configuration of an Helium Nucleus.

The atomic number of an element it is the number of protons that the element has in its nucleus, this number is uniqe to every element. Helium is the second element in the periodic table so Its atomic number is 2, This means it has two protons and the same amount of neutrons, wich makes alpha particles identical to a helium nucleus, not to a Helium atom, because a Helium atom has electrons and alpha particles don't have electrons.

If the volume of an object is reported as 5.0 ft3 what is the volume in cubic meters
12345 [234]
The problem statement is simply asking us to convert units. We convert from units of ft^3 to units of m^3. To do this, we need a conversion factor. For this case, we use 1 m is equal to 3.28084 ft. We do as follows:

5.0 ft^3 ( 1 m / 3.28084 ft )^3 = 0.1416 m^3

You set a tuning fork into vibration at a frequency of 723 Hz and then drop it off the roof of the Physics building where the ac
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Original Frequency f=723\ Hz

apparent Frequency f'=697\ Hz

There is change in frequency whenever source move relative to the observer.

From Doppler effect we can write as

f'=f\cdot \frac{v-v_o}{v+v_s}

where  

f'=apparent frequency  

v=velocity of sound in the given media

v_s=velocity of source

v_0=velocity of observer  

here v_0=0

697=723\cdot (\frac{343-0}{343+v_s})

v_s=(\frac{f}{f'}-1)v

v_s=(\frac{723}{697}-1)\cdot 343

v_s=12.79\approx 12.8\ m/s

i.e.fork acquired a velocity of 12.8 m/s

distance traveled by fork is given by

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

v_s^2-0=2\times 9.8\times s

s=\frac{12.8^2}{2\times 9.8}

s=8.35\ m

Shareen performs a skit to model a method of charging. In the skit, a painter shakes her hand and gets paint on her.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

It models conduction because the painter represents a charged object and the paint represents electrons that are transferred through contact.

Explanation:

Conduction phenomenon of charging is the process of charging in which two bodies are made in contact with each other so that charges are transferred due to potential difference of two bodies.

here we know that when hands are shake then it will have paint on it. so here due to hand shake the hands are in contact with charge particles and due to contact the electrons are transferred to the hand.

Now here we need to assume that charge of paint must be opposite that of the charge on the hand because only due to opposite charge attraction the paint must be transferred to the hand

SO here correct answer will be

It models conduction because the painter represents a charged object and the paint represents electrons that are transferred through contact.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

C) rift valley

Explanation:

A rift valley is a lowland region formed by the interaction of Earth's tectonic plates. This small rift valley has a typical formation—long, narrow, and deep. It was formed by the Thingvellir rift, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are tearing, or rifting, apart over a hotspot on the island of Iceland.
