The prompt above requires an explanatory essay. The focus of an explanatory essay is to give clarity to a concept. See the sample below.

<h3>What is the explanatory essay as per the prompt above?</h3>

From history, it is clear that Science builds on itself. For avoidance of doubt, this means that improvements in science are incremental with each improvement feeding off the last.

From the lesson we have examples of this phenomena such as that of Galileo. Recall that the text indicates that He improved the telescope; and while carrying out the same research that his predecessor Copernicus had done in relation to the stars and planets, Galileo used math to justify his position.

It is also on record that Johannes Kepler who lived in the same period as Galileo took interest in Astronomy. In this case, science built on itself because, Kepler's work served as the foundation for Sir Isaac Newton's work. This is also another example of how science builds on itself.

From the above textual evidence, it is given beyond reasonable double that science indeed builds on itself with the discovery of each generation serving as the foundation for the advancement of the next.

Water drops fall from the edge of a roof at a steady rate. a fifth drop starts to fall just as the first drop hits the ground. a

Alchen [17]

The height of the roof is <u>3.57m</u>

Let the drops fall at a rate of 1 drop per t seconds. The first drop takes 5t seconds to reach the ground. The second drop takes 4t seconds to reach the bottom of the 1.00 m window, while the 3rd drop takes 3t s to reach the top of the window.

Calculate the distances traveled by the second and the third drops s₂ and s₃, which start from rest from the roof of the building.

$s_2=\frac{1}{2} g(4t)^2=8gt^2\\ s_3=\frac{1}{2} g(3t)^2=(4.5)gt^2$

The length of the window s is given by,

$s=s_2-s_3\\ (1.00 m)=8gt^2-4.5gt^2=3.5gt^2\\ t^2=\frac{1.00 m}{(3.5)(9.8m/s^2)} =0.02915s^2$

The first drop is at the bottom and it takes 5t seconds to reach down.

The height of the roof h is the distance traveled by the first drop and is given by,

$h=\frac{1}{2} g(5t)^2=\frac{25t^2}{2g} =\frac{25(0.02915s^2)}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =3.57 m$

the height of the roof is 3.57 m

Which of these best explains why people on Earth cannot see the entire shape of the Milky Way

BartSMP [9]

I believe the answer is A.

Since the Earth is in the Milky Way and not outside it, we cannot see the exact shape of it. Physicists have been able to track and graph the movements of the planets accurately for thousands of years, but that does not mean we know the shape of the entire solar system.<span />

Instantaneous speed is measured

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

C. At a particular instant

Explanation:

Speed is the defined as the ratio between the distance covered by an object and the time taken:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where d is the distance and t the time.

However, there are two possible measurements of speed:

- Average speed: this is the speed measured over a non-zero time interval (for example: a car moving 100 metres in 5 seconds; its average speed is

$v=\frac{100 m}{5 s}=20 m/s$

- Instantaneous speed: this is the speed of an object measured at a particular instant in time, so for a time interval that tends to zero. So, in the previous example, the average speed is 20 m/s but the instantaneous speed of the car at various instants of time can be different from that value.

A teacher told a learner to react benzene (CH) with chlorine (Cl₂) to

kolezko [41]

The minimum quantity of benzene, C₆H₆ needed for the reaction is 106.67 g

<h3>How to determine the theoretical yield of chlorobenzene, C₆H₅Cl</h3>

From the question given, the following data were obtained

Actual yield = 100 g
Percentage yield = 65%
Theoretical yield =?

Percentage yield = (Actual / Theoretical) × 100

65% = 100 / Theoretical

0.65 = Actual / Theoretical

Cross multiply

0.65 × Theoretical = 100

Divide both sides by 0.65

Theoretical = 100 / 0.65

Theoretical yield = 153.85 g

<h3>How to determine the mass of benzene, C₆H₆ needed</h3>

Balanced equation

C₆H₆ + Cl₂ → C₆H₅Cl + HCl

Molar mass of C₆H₆ = 78 g/mol

Mass of C₆H₆ from the balanced equation = 1 × 78 = 78 g

Molar mass of C₆H₅Cl = 112.5 g

Mass of C₆H₅Cl from the balanced equation = 1 × 112.5 = 112.5 g

SUMMARY

From the balanced equation above,

112.5 g of C₆H₅Cl were obtained from 78 g of C₆H₆

Therefore,

153.85 g of C₆H₅Cl will be produced from = (153.85 × 78) / 112.5 = 106.67 g of C₆H₆

Thus, the minimum amount of benzene, C₆H₆ needed for the reaction is 106.67 g
