Differentiate between speed and velocity

Chemistry
1 answer:
Leokris [45]4 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Speed and velocity are both used to describe the motion of a body. But there are differences between the two terms.

  • Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time. It is mathematically expressed below:

                      Velocity = \frac{displacement}{time taken}

 The unit of velocity is m/s or km/hr.

Velocity is a vector quantity that shows magnitude and direction.

  • Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. It is concerned with the total length of path a body moves.

                  Speed = \frac{Distance }{time taken}

  It has the same unit as velocity

It is a scalar quantity that has only magnitude.

Katarina [22]

The two blocks have the same amount of thermal energy.

<h3>Effect of temperature on different mass objects</h3>

Due to platinum metal, the thermal energy is equally distributed in the whole metal so that's equal distribution the thermal energy of both blocks will be the same so we can conclude that the two blocks have the same amount of thermal energy.

Calcium Oxide at mass 14.0g react with water. Determine the mass at which the calcium hydroxide formed. [ Ca=40, O=16, H=1]​
ELEN [110]
Calcium oxide CaO = 40+16 = 56
Calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)_2 = 40+16+16+1+1 = 74

The ratio 56:74 is equal to 14:x with x being the unknown mass.
56/14 = 4
74/4 = 18.5
So the answer is 18.5g assuming the water is in excess

Be sure to answer all parts. What can be added to the equilibrium AgCl(s) + 2NH3(aq) ⇌ Ag(NH3)2+(aq) + Cl−(aq) (a) that will shi
lora16 [44]

Answer:

a) Ag(NH₃)₂⁺,  Cl⁻.

b) NH₃.

c) AgCl.

Explanation:

Based on LeChatelier's law, a system in chemistry can change responding to a disturbance of concentration, temperature, etc. in order to restore a new state.

In the reaction:

AgCl(s) + 2NH₃(aq) ⇌ Ag(NH₃)₂⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)

When reactants are added, the system will produce more products restoring the equilibrium and vice versa. A reactant in solid state doesn't take part in the equilibrium, thus:

a) Ag(NH₃)₂⁺,  Cl⁻. The addition of products will shift the equilibrium to the left

b) NH₃. The addition of reactant will shift the equilibrium to the right.

c) As AgCl is in solid phase, will not shift the equilibrium in either direction.

How is an average mass different from a weighted mass
romanna [79]

In an average mass, each entry has equal weight. In a weighted average, we multiply each entry by a number representing its relative importance.

Assume that your class consists of 15 girls and 5 boys. Each girl has a mass of 54 kg, and each boy has a mass of 62 kg.

<em>Average mass</em> = (girl + boy)/2 = (54 kg + 62 kg)/2 = <em>58 kg</em>

<em>Weighted average (Method 1) </em>

Use the <em>numbers of each</em> gender (15 girls + 5 boys) ,

Weighted average = (15×54 kg + 5×62 kg)/20 = (810 kg + 310 kg)/20

= 1120 kg/20 = <em>56 kg</em>.

If you put all the students on one giant balance, their total mass would be

1120 kg and the average mass of a student would be <em>56 kg. </em>

<em>Weighted average (Method 2) </em>

Use the <em>relative percentages</em> of each gender (75 % girls and 25 % boys).

Weighted average = 0.75×54 kg + 0.25×62 kg = 40.5 kg + 15.5 kg = <em>56 kg</em>

Each girl contributes 40.5 kg and each boy contributes 15.5 kg to the <em>weighted average</em> mass of a student.

Why is carbon is considered tetravalent?
Pepsi [2]
Carbon has four valence electrons. Meaning, it has 4 electrons in it's last shell. These 4 electrons will form a covalent bond with other elements to get the full set of 8 electrons needed for it to be stable. That is why it's considered as tetravalent.
