Chose a substance your familiar with. What are it’s physical and chemical properties

1 answer:

6 0

So, physical properties are what we can detect with our basic 5 senses or measuring tools, and the things that, when changed, dont actually change the chemical properties (like atoms and molecules). Lets take wood for an example: its brown, its solid, it can be big or small, it has a taste and smell, its boiling, freezing or melting point...

Chemical properties, on the other hand, are the things we can change with, for example, experiments and tools. Does it burn? Can it rust/oxidize? How does it react with other chemicals? Is it radioactive, or toxic? All of these are chemical properties you can probably answer.

An alpha particle (a helium nucleus, consisting of two protons and two neutrons) has a radius of approximately 1.6 × 10-15 m. A

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Momentum p is the product of mass and velocity, i.e

P = mv

Alpha particles, like helium nuclei, have a net spin of zero. Due to the mechanism of their production in standard alpha radioactive decay, alpha particles generally have a kinetic energy of about 5 MeV, and a velocity in the vicinity of 5% the speed of light.

From this we calculate the speed as

v = 5% 0f 3x10^8 m/s (speed of light)

v = 1.5x10^7 m/s

The mass of an alpha particle is approximately 6.64×10−27 kg

Therefore,

P = 1.5x10^7 x 6.64×10^−27

P = 9.96x10^-20 kg-m/s

A comet is cruising through the solar system at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per hour foe 4 hours time. What is the total distan

Triss [41]

Answer:

<em>The distance covered by comet is </em> $200,000 km$

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance with time. It is given by the equation speed= $\bold{\frac{distance}{time}}$

Thus distance= $speed*time$

In this problem it is given that speed of comet= $\frac{50,000km}{hr}$

time travelled by the comet= 4 hours

Thus distance= $speed*time$

= $500000*4$

= $\bold{200,000km}$

How do you find the oscillation period in seconds for different pendulum lengths?

GalinKa [24]

To find:

The equation to find the period of oscillation.

Explanation:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity.

Thus the period of a pendulum is given by the equation,

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

On substituting the values of the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity at the point where the period of the pendulum is being measured, the above equation yields the value of the period of the pendulum.

Final answer:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum can be calculated using the equation,

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

A moving van travels 10km North, then 4 km east, drops off some furniture and then drives 8 km south. (a) Sketch the path of the

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

4.47 km

Explanation:

If we draw the path of the van then we get a shape with two exposed points A and D. If we draw a line from point D perpendicular to BA we get point E. This gives us a right angled triangle ADE.

From Pythagoras theorem

AD² = AE² + ED²

$AD=\sqrt{AE^2+ED^2}\\\Rightarrow AD=\sqrt{2^2+4^2}\\\Rightarrow AD=\sqrt{20}\\\Rightarrow AD=4.47\ km$
