As jesse's hybrid accelerates to pass a car on the highway, he notices that his gas mileage drops from 40 miles per gallon to 15. one likely explanation for this is:

a. the engine is powered by a biofuel that is not needed while cruising.
b. his car operates on battery power when he begins to accelerate.
c. his car has turned on more pistons to provide the extra energy needed to accelerate.
d. his car operates only on battery power on the highway.

What happens to energy in an open system?

Which is a difference between molecular compounds and ionic compounds? select the correct answer below: question 5 options: molecular compounds typically form between a metal and a nonmetal, while ionic compounds typically form between nonmetals. molecular compounds result from the transfer of electrons between atoms to form ions, while ionic compounds result from the sharing of electrons between neutral atoms. molecular compounds are formed of discrete, neutral molecules, while ionic compounds are formed of large repeating arrays of opposite charges. molecular compounds have high melting points and high boiling points, while ionic

Why is the bond angle in a water molecule less than the bond angle of methane? a. the central oxygen atom in water has two lone pairs of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has no lone pairs. b. the central hydrogen atom in water has one lone pair of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has two lone pairs. c. the central oxygen atom in water has four lone pairs of electrons, whereas the central carbon atom in methane has only one lone pair. d. the central oxygen atom exerts more repulsive force on surrounding atoms than the central carbon atom in methane does. reset next
