Answer:
A. polymerization
Explanation:
Synthetic plastics are made by linking many simple carbon molecules together to form much larger molecules. This process is called polymerization.
Synthetic or artifical giant molecules consists of synthetic polymers such as plastics, elastomers etc. They are made up of simple monomers which links to form the complex and giant structure.
Monomers are the simplest unit of polymers. Polymers have very great sizes. The size mkaes their structure quite complex. This makes the molecules more disposed in a regular pattern with respect to one another.
The complexity of structure and the attendant effects accounts for the properties and uses that makes synthetic molecules very unique. For example, plastics can be extruded as sheets, pipes and or moulded into other objects.
Answer:
Sample Response: In a vacuum, there are no atoms or particles that interfere with the path of light. However, in other media, the speed of light is lower than 3.0 × 108 m/s because the wave is continuously absorbed and re-emitted by each atom in its path. The differences in speed are due to the composition of the medium and the density of the particles in the medium.
Explanation:
Answer: 6,400 km
Explanation:
The weight of a person is given by:
where m is the mass of the person and g is the acceleration due to gravity. While the mass does not depend on the height above the surface, the value of g does, following the formula:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
r is the distance of the person from the Earth's center
The problem says that the person weighs 800 N at the Earth's surface, so when r=R (Earth's radius):
(1)
Now we want to find the height h above the surface at which the weight of the man is 200 N:
(2)
If we divide eq.(1) by eq.(2), we get
By solving the equation, we find:
which has two solutions:
--> negative solution, we can ignore it
--> this is our solution
Since the Earth's radius is , the person should be at above Earth's surface.
