Hello There!

Elements are substances that are only made up of 1 type of atom.

Some examples of elements could be Carbon {C}, Hydrogen {H} and Iron {Fe}.

Compounds on the other hand are made up of two or more atoms. They are chemical substances. An example of a compound could be Water because this is made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

The answer is that "elements are a single atom and compounds are a mixture of two elements or more." Elements are atoms that have protons, neutrons, and electrons. Compounds are mixtures with two or more elements.

Hope this helps.

How do you calculate the volume and density of something that weighs 20 grams?

Nostrana [21]

Mass divided by volume is density, while mass times density is volume. you cannot calculate density without volume and you cannot calculate volume without density.
i believe that's the answer.
oh gosh i didn't realize my middle school education involved high school stuff.

A railroad car of 2000 kg coasting at 3.0 m/s overtakes and locks with an identical car coasting on the same track in the same d

serg [7]

The key is in "they lock together". This tells you this is a complete inelastic collision and therefore you can use the formula:
m1*v1+m2*v2=v(m1+m2)
Plug in numbers:
2000*3+2000*2=v(2000+2000)
so v=2 m/s, obviously in the same direction of motion in which they were both moving.

1.3 kg of water, at an initial temperature of 25oC, is heated at a rate of 100 W in a well-insulated container. How much time (i

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

68.25 minutes.

Explanation:

Power = Energy/time or

Power = Heat/time

P = Q/t....................... Equation 1

Q = Pt ........................ Equation 2

Where Q = quantity of heat, P = power, t = time.

Also,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁) ................. Equation 3

Where c = specific heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature of water, t₂ = final temperature of water.

substitute equation 2 into equation 3

Pt = cm(t₂-t₁) ............... Equation 4

make t the subject of the equation

t = cm(t₂-t₁)/P................ Equation 5

Given: P = 100 W, m = 1.3 kg, t₁ = 25 °C, t₂ = 100 °C.

Constant: 4200 J/kg.K

Substitute into equation 5

t = 1.3(4200)(100-25)/100

t = 409500/100

t = 4095 seconds

t = (4095/60) minutes = 68.25 minutes.

Hence the time it will take the water to reach boiling point = 68.25 minutes

The magnitude of the angular momentum of the two-satellite system is best represented by

zloy xaker [14]

The magnitude of the angular momentum of the two-satellite system is best represented as, L=m₁v₁r₁-m₂v₂r₂.

<h3>What is angular momentum.?</h3>

The rotational analog of linear momentum is angular momentum also known as moment of momentum or rotational momentum.

It is significant in physics because it is a conserved quantity. the total angular momentum of a closed system remains constant. Both the direction and magnitude of angular momentum are conserved.

The magnitude of the angular momentum of the two-satellite system is best represented as;

L=∑mvr

L=m₁v₁r₁-m₂v₂r₂

Hence, the magnitude of the angular momentum of the two-satellite system is best represented as, L=m₁v₁r₁-m₂v₂r₂.
