A quick, easy way to decide whether there was a chemical change

is to look and see whether there are NEW substances after the

event, that weren't there when it started.


This particular scenario started out with fat and sodium hydroxide (lye).

And then, suddenly, POOF ! Soap and glycerin showed up. Where did

THOSE come from ? They came from the molecules in fat and lye,

getting broken up and recombined to make different substances.

THAT's exactly a chemical change.

Answer:

This is a chemical change because new substances are formed with different properties and identities.

Downward force of magnitude 5 N isexerted on the book by the force ofthetablegravityinertia .
mylen [45]

Downward force of magnitude 5 N is exerted on the book by the force of <em>gravity</em>.  We call that the "weight" of the book.

At the same time, upward force of 5 N is exerted on the book by the table.  This one is called the "normal force".

Since the vertical forces on the book are 'balanced' (add up to zero), the book just lays there on the table, and does not accelerate.

Find the statement about Fusion that is false.
stiks02 [169]

Fusion occurs when low mass nuclei, such as hydrogen collide and combine to form nuclei with greater masses.

Fusion could be the world's answer to clean unlimited amounts of energy.

Fusion is extremely difficult to contain and maintain here on earth.

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is the combination of light atomic nuclei to form nuclei with greater mass.

The sun is powered by chain reaction involving fusion of light hydrogen nuclei to produce a more massive atom of helium.

  • As with all nuclear reaction, mass is equivalent to energy. These reactions takes place place in the nucleus of an atom where nuclear forces are broken .
  • it is known that nuclear fusion produces far more energy than fission reaction.
  • It produces less radioactive wastes and could be the world's clean source of unlimited amount of energy.
  • The major problem with fusion is that it is difficult to start and requires a a lot of energy to initiate.
