Variations in the reactive properties of different organic molecules are most closely associated with _____.
azamat

Answer:

the presence or absence of functional groups

Explanation:

The functional group is the group of atoms that characterize a chemical function and that have well-defined characteristic properties.

In organic chemistry, the functional group is a set of submolecular structures, characterized by a specific elementary connectivity and composition that confers specific chemical reactivity to the molecule that contains them. These structures replace the hydrogen atoms lost by saturated hydrocarbon chains. Aliphatic, or open chain, groups are usually represented generically by R (alkyl radicals), while aromatic ones, or derivatives of benzene, are represented by Ar (aryl radicals).

A man on the Moon observes two spaceships coming toward him from opposite directions at speeds of 0.600c and 0.600c. What is the
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

If we use the equation for the transformation of velocities for moving frames:

v' = (v - u) / (1 - u * v / c^2) where we measure the speed of v' approaching from the left where v is in a frame moving at -u towards v'

v' = (.6 c - (-.6 c)) / (1 - (-.6 c) * .6 c / c^2) = 1.2 c / (1 + .6 * .6)

or v' = 1.2 c / (1 + .36) = .88 c

v is approaching from the left at .6 c in the reference frame and the other frame approaches from the right at -.6 c with speed u  (-.6 c) and we measure the speed of v as seen in the frame moving to the left

Two ships of equal mass are 110 m apart. What is the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the othe
dusya [7]

Answer:

Acceleration of the ship, a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of both ships, m=39000\ metric\ tons=39\times 10^6\ kg

Distance between two ships, d = 110 m

The gravitational force between two ships is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m^2}{d^2}

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times \dfrac{(39\times 10^6\ kg)^2}{(110\ m)^2}

F = 8.38 N

Let a is the acceleration. Now, using second law of motion as :

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{8.38\ N}{39\times 10^6\ kg}

a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the other is 2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

wite a paragraph explaining the difference between things that have matter and things that don't have matter.
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: Matter is how much space or opacity an object takes up. In short anything that take up space. Things like balls, trees, and even people are all made of matter. Mass is how much matter a object has. Air also has mass also, even though we can't see it. Things like cars, buildings, even planets have mass.

Explanation: Paragraphs are sometimes 4-6 sentences.
