When fat comes in contact with sodium hydroxide, it produces soap and glycerin. Determine whether this is a physical change or a

chemical change. Explain your answer.

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.

Answer:

v' = 2.83 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity of wave in stretched string is given by the formula

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

here we know that

T = 4 N

also we know that linear mass density is given as

\mu = 1 kg/m

so we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{4}{1}} = 2 m/s

now the tension in the string is double

so the velocity is given as

v' = \sqrt{\frac{8}{1}} = 2\sqrt2 m/s

v' = 2.83 m/s

A 0.15-kg ball is thrown into the air and rises to a height of 20.0 m. How much kinetic energy did the ball initially have?
zzz [600]
IF the toss was straight upward, then the kinetic energy it got
from the toss is the gravitational potential energy it has at the top,
where it stops rising and starts falling.

Potential energy =  (mass)  x   (gravity) x (height)

                           = (0.15 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (20 m)

                           =      29.4 kg-m²/s²  =  29.4 joules .

Which of the following observations indicates that an object is falling at terminal velocity?
vitfil [10]

Answer:  D

Explanation:

When an object falls gravity is pulling down on it and is picking up speed, but as it gains speed air resistance becomes a faster. Air resistance increases with speed. And that force keeps it from accelerating eventually the object will pick up speed such that the force due to air resistance will keep it from getting any more speed at that point force due to air resistance is equal to its weight (mg) and the net force is equal to zero so it won’t accelerate any more at that point it is said to be moving in terminal velocity.

When an object has reached terminal velocity, it will have a constant velocity

Answer:

The radius of the gold nucleus is 7.1x10⁻¹⁵m

Explanation:

The nearest distance is:

r=\frac{kze^{2} }{mpV^{2} } (eq. 1)

Where

z = atomic number of gold = 79

e = electron charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

k = electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹Nm²C²

energy of the particle = 32 MeV = 5.12x10⁻¹²J

At the potential energy is zero, all the energy will be kinetic energy:

E_{k} =\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}

Where

m = 4 mp = mass of proton

5.12x10^{-12} =\frac{1}{2} *4*m_{p}* V^{2} \\m_{p}* V^{2} = 2.56x10^{-12}

Replacing in equation 1

r=\frac{9x10^{9}*79*(1.6x10^{-19})^{2}   }{2.56x10^{-12} } =7.1x10^{-15} m
