Answer:

Option A

Carrots are cut into small pieces and mixed into a salad

Explanation:

When physical changes occur, the actual composition remain the same but the molecules are re-arranged. Therefore, when carrots are cut into smaller pieces and mixed into salad, there will be no chemical reaction hence the actual composition will remain the same despite being cut and molecules in it re-arranged. Considering the other options, new substances are formed hence they are deemed as chemical changes. Therefore, option A is correct.

ruslelena [56]

T1=40°C=313K
T_2=-10°C=263K

Applying Charles law

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow \dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow \dfrac{100}{313}=\dfrac{V_2}{263}$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow V_2=\dfrac{26300}{313}$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow V_2=84.02ml$

All fires require oxygen () There is no oxygen in that room (T) .

Marina CMI [18]

The sentences are invalid and unsound.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The fire is defined as the vigorous oxidation of a substance. Now oxidation can occur in presence of any oxidising agent. Like magnesium in presence of nitrogen in high temperature with a dazzling brownish flame to produce magnesium nitride. So fire can be produced in absence of oxygen.

Oxygen is present everywhere in world. So production of a whole room without oxygen is very tough to produce and costly process. So its very unsound.

A person is attracted towards the center of the earth by an 800 N gravitational force. The force with which the earth is attract

suter [353]

Answer:

800 N

Explanation:

By Newton's third law which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So, as the earth attracts the person towards its center, the person attracts the earth towards itself with the same magnitude of force but in the opposite direction.

Since the person is attracted towards the center of the earth by an 800 N gravitational force, the the earth is attracted toward the person with an 800 N reaction force.

A 0.5-kilogram apple falls from a height of 2 meters to 1.50 meters. Ignoring frictional effects, what is the kinetic energy of

spin [16.1K]

The final kinetic energy of the ball is 2.45 J

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

In absence of frictional effect, the mechanical energy of the apple must be conserved during the fall. So we can write:

$U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f$
