Answer:

Matter is everything around you. Atoms and compounds are all made of very small parts of matter. Those atoms go on to build the things you see and touch every day. Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space (it has volume). ... Mass is the amount of matter in an object.Matter can exist in several states, also called phases. The three most common states are known as solid, liquid and gas. A single element or compound of matter might exist in more than one of the three states, depending on the temperature and pressure. Less familiar states of matter include plasma, foam and Bose-Einstein condensate. These states occur under special conditions.

Different kinds of matter can combine to form substances that may not resemble any of the original ingredients. For example, hydrogen (a gaseous element) and oxygen (another gaseous element) combine to form water (a liquid compound at room temperature). The process of such combination is called a chemical reaction. A chemical reaction involves interactions between the electrons of the atoms, but does not affect the nuclei of the atoms.

Goryan [66]

Answer:c=0.213 J/g/K

Explanation:

Given

sample mass $(m_s)=120 gm$

initial temperature of mineral $(T_{im})=92.6$

mass of water $(m_w)=82.9$

Water initial temperature $(T_{iw})=20$

Heat capacity of calorimeter =15.3 J/k

Final Temperature is 24.8

let c be the specific heat of mineral

Heat released by mineral sample=heat absorbed by calorimeter and water

$120\times c\times (92.6-24.8)=82.9\times 4.184\times (24.8-20)+15.3\times (24.8-20)$

$c\times 67.8=14.486$

$c=0.213 J/g/K$

A physics demo launches a ball horizontally while dropping a second ball vertically at exactly the same time. 1) which ball hits

Simora [160]

Answer:

Both balls will hit the ground at the same time

Explanation:

The factor which leads to ball falling is the gravity acting on the ball;

The motions along the path of both balls are independent and both balls will obey the following illustration

Using the third equation of motion

s = ut + ½at²

Where s = distance covered by both balls.

u = initial velocity of both balls. Since both balls start from rest, u = 0m/s

a = acceleration; and it's equal to acceleration due to gravity.

a = g

By substituton

s = 0 * t + ½gt²

s = 0 + ½gt²

s = ½gt²

Make t the subject of formula

gt² = 2s

t² = 2s/g

t = ±√(2s/g)

But time can't be less than 0 (in other words, negative)

So,

t = √(2s/g)

It'll take both balls √(2s/g) time to hit the floor

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

0.918 seconds

Explanation:

M = 2kg

V = 9.0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s

F = Mg cosΘ

Θ = 0°

But F = Ma

a = v / t

F = m*v / t

Mv / t = mg cos0

V / t = g

t = v / g

t = 9.0 / 9.8

t = 0.918s

An ideal spring has spring constant ks (to distinguish it from the electrostatic constant k) and equilibrium length l. Then, you

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

q = square root (4KsL³/k)

The force of extension of the spring is equal to the force of repulsion between the two like charges. Two like charges(positive or negative) would always repel each other and two unlike charges would always attract each other. This electric force between the charges is what is responsible for the stretching of the spring. The electric force causes the spring to increase in length from L to 2L. Equating these forces, that is the electric force between the charges and the elastic force of the spring and rearranging the variables gives the expression to obtain q.

Explanation:

See the attachment below for full solution.
