Answer:

It reduces the melting point due to a defect in the arrangement of the crystal lattice.

Explanation:

The presence of impurities creates a disorderliness in the uniformity of the crystal structure. It lowers the melting point by a few degrees because it becomes easier to overcome the intermolecular force of attraction.

It makes the array of crystals disordered.

Lattice is a long chain three-dimensional arrangement of the molecules, atoms or ions in a crystal structure.

Which of the following illustrates two resistors in a parallel circuit

IRINA_888 [86]

In option A there are two resistors in which two terminals of resistors are connected with the terminals of battery so here they are connected in parallel.

In option B all resistors and battery is connected in a single loop so it is a series combination of all.

In option C all three resistors are connected by their terminals to a single battery so here all three resistor are in parallel with the battery.

In option D only one resistor is connected in series with a battery as one single loop is there.

So in the above all cases two resistors are in parallel with battery in option A

Despite the risks, Human populations can be found near volcanoes. This can be associated with the availability of which natural resource?

Geothermal energy

Geothermal energy is the form of energy obtained from the heat of the earth. Near volcanoes the land is more hot compared to the normal areas. So, the heat of the lava will help in producing Geothermal energy...~

Briefly answer the following questions. a) A clock is mounted on the wall. As you look at it, what is the direction of the angul

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The direction of angular velocity vector of second hand will be along the line going into the plane of dial perpendicular to it.

b ) If the angular acceleration of a rigid body is zero, the angular velocity will remain constant.

c ) If another planet the same size as Earth were put into orbit around the Sun along with Earth the moment of inertia of the system will increase because the mass of the system increases. Moment of inertia depends upon mass and its distribution around the axis.

d ) Increasing the number of blades on a propeller increases the moment of inertia , because both mass and mass distribution around axis of rotation increases.

e ) It is not possible that a body has the same moment of inertia for all possible axes because a body can not remain symmetrical about all axes possible. Sphere has same moment of inertia about all axes passing through its centre.

f ) To maximize the moment of inertia of a flywheel while minimizing its weight, the shape and distribution of mass should be such that maximum mass of the body may be situated at far end of the body from axis of rotation . So flywheel must have thick outer boundaries and this should be

attached with axis with the help of thin rods .

g ) When the body is rotating at the same place , its translational kinetic energy is zero but its rotational energy can be increased

at the same place.

While performing an experiment, the student creating the data table is not sure if a measurement from the experiment is a vector

marin [14]

Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand both scalar and vector .

A scalar quantity is a physical quantity which has only magnitude for it's complete specification.

A vector quantity is that physical quantity which not only requires magnitude but also possesses direction for it's complete specification.

So the most important factor that differentiate vector from scalar is the direction.

As per the question the student is doing an experiment where he is recording the data obtained during the process.

In order to arrange them in data table, he should ask about the direction of the quantity under consideration.

Hence the correct option is the third option(C)i.e does the measurement include direction?
