Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A homogeneous mixture that contains two or more substances is known as a solution.

A compound is a substance that contains two or more different atoms. For example, NaCl is a compound.

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture whose particles are evenly or equally distributed throughout the mixture. For example, salt dissolved in water is a homogeneous mixture.

A suspension is a mixture in which particles are not evenly distributed throughout the mixture. It is also called a heterogenous mixture and after a certain interval some particles in a suspension mixture settles down at the bottom.

A colloid is a mixture that contains particles which are microscopically dispersed evenly throughout the solvent.

Thus, dirt particles in water will settle at the bottom after a certain interval of time.

Hence, we can conclude that because the silt (dirt particles) in muddy water eventually settles out, the muddy water is a suspension.

Two identical mandolin strings under 200 N of tension are sounding tones with frequencies of 590 Hz. The peg of one string slips

Slav-nsk [51]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to frequency and vibration of strings. Mathematically the frequency can be expressed as

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

Then the relation between two different frequencies with same wavelength would be

$\frac{f'}{f} = \frac{v'/\wavelength}{v/\wavelength}$

$\frac{f'}{f} = \frac{v'}{v}$

The beat frequency heard when the two strings are sounded simultaneously is

$f_{beat} = f-f'$

$f_{beat} = f(1-\frac{f'}{f})$

$f_{beat} = f(1-\frac{v'}{v})$

We have the velocity of the transverse waves in stretched string as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{200N}{\mu}}$

And,

$v' = \sqrt{\frac{196N}{\mu}}$

Therefore the relation between the two is,

$\frac{v'}{v} = \sqrt{\frac{192}{200}}$

$\frac{v'}{v} = \sqrt{0.96}$

Finally substituting this value at the frequency beat equation we have

$f_{beat} = 590(1-\sqrt{0-96})$

$f_{beat} = 11.92Hz$

Therefore the beats per second are 11.92Hz

Positive ions have blank protons than electrons

grandymaker [24]

Postitive ions have more protons than electrons, because protons are positively charged. Electrons have a negative charge, so if there were less protons than electrons the job would be negative. If there were the same amount of both, then the positive and negative charges balance each other out, making a neutral charge.

Describe the energy change in the particles of a substance during melting. A) The kinetic energy of the particles remains unchan

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

As ice melts into water, kinetic energy is being added to the particles. This causes them to be 'excited' and they break the bonds that hold them together as a solid, resulting in a change of state: solid -> liquid.

Explanation:

As we may know, the change in state of an object is due to the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles.

This average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature of the particles.

This is because heat is a form of energy; by adding energy to ice - heat, you "excite" the water molecules, breaking the interactions in the lattice structure and forming weaker, looser hydrogen-bonding interactions.

This causes the ice to melt. This is demonstrated in the image below.

More generally, when you remove energy - the object cools down, the particles move a lot slower. So slow, that they individually attract other molecules more than before, and this results in a physical change that also changes the state.

Can something have energy without having momentum? explain. can something have momentum without having energy? defend your answe

marta [7]

Momentum is a product mass and velocity. If a certain object posses a kinetic energy, then it should have a momentum since it is moving which has a velocity. However, if the object is at rest and only has potential energy, then it would not have momentum. So, for the first question the answer would be yes, an object can have energy without having any momentum. For the second question, every object whether it is moving or at rest, possess some energy, potential for an object at rest and kinetic for an object that is moving. Thus, the answer would be no, an object having momentum would always have energy.

You have a 100 ohm resistor. How

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

R2 = 300 Ohms

Explanation:

Let the two resistors be R1 and R2 respectively.

RT is the total equivalent resistance.

Given the following data;

R1 = 100 Ohms

RT = 75 Ohms

To find R2;

Mathematically, the total equivalent resistance of resistors connected in parallel is given by the formula;

$RT = \frac {R1*R2}{R1 + R2}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$75 = \frac {100*R2}{100 + R2}$

Cross-multiplying, we have;

75 * (100 + R2) = 100R2

7500 + 75R2 = 100R2

7500 = 100R2 - 75R2

7500 = 25R2

R2 = 7500/25

R2 = 300 Ohms
