Agroup of students is studying convection currents. they fill two identical balloons with the same amount of helium. one balloon is placed in a freezer and the other in an area with warm air. after 10 minutes, the balloons are released from a height of 1 meter. which of the following do the students most likely observe? a. the balloons both rise. the cold balloon is larger than the warm balloon. b. the balloons rise at the same rate. both balloons are the same size. c. the warm balloon expands and rises. the cold balloon shrinks and sinks. d. the cold balloon expands and rises. the warm balloon shrinks and sinks.

Americium-241 undergoes fission to produce three neutrons per fission event. if a neutron-absorbing material is mixed in with this sample so that the rate of neutron production drops down to 1.8 neutrons per fission event, which will be effective at achieving a critical mass? check all that apply. remove a deflective shield surrounding the sample. remove absorbent material mixed in with the sample. compress the sample of americium-241.

Measurements that have similar values are: a. usually accurate b. sometimes accurate c. always accurate d. never accurate
