Answer:

Chemical changes are recognized when a substance changes its properties permanently and it cannot be the same substance as before.

Instead the physical changes implies that if you can return to the same substance through a reverse process.

Explanation:

A chemical change is, by example, a combustion, if a sheet of paper burns, its result is ashes, the ashes cannot go back to being a sheet of paper because its properties changed, heat energy was generated that changed matter permanently.

A physical change, by example, is that of freezing water, the water becomes ice, but this can easily become water again if the temperature is increased, its properties do not change and the chemistry of the substance does not change.

The x and y components of vector S are -30.0 m and +40.0 m, respectively. Find the magnitude of S and the angle between the dire

34kurt

Answer:

The given vector can be represented in unit vector as

$\overrightarrow{w}=-30\widehat{i}+40\widehat{j}$

The magnitude of any vector $\overrightarrow{r}=u\widehat{i}+v\widehat{j}$ is given by

$|w|=\sqrt{u^{2}+v^{2}}$

Applying values we get

$|w|=\sqrt{-30^{2}+40^{2}}\\\\|r|=50$

We know that positive x axis in vertorial form is represented as

$\overrightarrow{r}=\widehat{i}$

taking dot product of both the vector's we get

$\overrightarrow{r}.\overrightarrow{w}=|r||w|cos(\theta )\\\\\therefore cos(\theta )=\frac{(-30\widehat{i}+40\widehat{j}).\widehat{i}}{50}\\\\\therefore \theta =cos^{-1}(\frac{-30}{50})=126.86^{o}$

PLZ HELP 30 PNTS AND BRAINLIST IF CORRECT! (accidentally put 10 pnts, i get u the points if u get the answer right)

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

the net force is acting upon the object. The net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object. That is to say, the net force is the sum of all the forces, taking into account the fact that a force is a vector and two forces of equal magnitude. Hope this helps you.

Charge q is accelerated starting from rest up to speed v through the potential difference V. What speed will charge q have after

adoni [48]

Answer: v = $1.19 * 10^{6} m/s$

Explanation: q = magnitude of electronic charge = $1.609 * 10^{-19} c$

mass of an electronic charge = $9.10 * 10^{-31} kg$

V= potential difference = 4V

v = velocity of electron

by using the work- energy theorem which states that the kinetic energy of the the electron must equal the work done use in accelerating the electron.

kinetic energy = $\frac{mv^{2} }{2}$ , potential energy = qV

hence, $\frac{mv^{2} }{2} = qV$

$\frac{9.10 *10^{-31} * v^{2} }{2} = 1.609 * 10^{-16} * 4\\\\\\\\9.10*10^{-31} * v^{2} = 2 * 1.609 *10^{-16} * 4\\\\\\9.10 *10^{-31} * v^{2} = 1.287 *10^{-15} \\\\v^{2} = \frac{1.287 *10^{-15} }{9.10 *10^{31} } \\\\v^{2} = 1.414*10^{15} \\\\v = \sqrt{1.414*10^{15} } \\\\v = 1.19 * 10^{6} m/s$

Why electrons flow in a wire when connected to a battery?

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The metal atoms in the wire can't move, but their outer electrons can. The force pushes those electrons and they move to further parts of the wire, trying to reach the other end. As the electrons move away, new electrons flow into the wire through the battery to take their place.
