Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

A graduated cylinder should be read at the top of the meniscus or the down of the meniscus purely depends upon the kind of liquid used. Water gives a concave meniscus whereas mercury gives a convex meniscus. The measurement should account for the meniscus. Measurement should be taken such that line we are reading must be even with center of the meniscus. From the above explanation we can

If it's Mercury in the graduated cylinder, then the statement is true.

If it's water in the graduated cylinder, then the statement is false.

Two rockets are flying in the same direction and are side by side at the instant their retrorockets fire. Rocket A has an initia
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

-22.2 m/s²

Explanation:

The equation for position x for a constant acceleration a, time t and initial velocity v₀, initial position x₀:

(1) x=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+x_0

For rocket A the initial and final position: x = x₀= 0. Using these values in equation 1 gives:

(2) 0=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t

Solving for time t:

-\frac{1}{2}at^2=v_0t

(3) t=-\frac{2v_0}{a}

The times for both rockets must be equal, since they start and end at the same location. Using equation 3 for rocket A and B gives:

(4) \frac{v_{0A}}{a_A}=\frac{v_{0B}}{a_B}

Solving equation 4 for acceleration of rocket B:

(5) a_B=a_A\frac{v_{0B}}{v_{0A}}

What visual evidence shows that combustion reactions release energy?
pychu [463]

Answer:

A combustion reaction is a major class of chemical reactions, commonly referred to as "burning." In the most general sense, combustion involves a reaction between any combustible material and an oxidizer to form an oxidized product. It usually occurs when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Good signs that you're dealing with a combustion reaction include the presence of oxygen as a reactant and carbon dioxide, water, and heat as products. Inorganic combustion reactions might not form all of those products but remain recognizable by the reaction of oxygen.

As you move from ice to water to steam, which statement is true? A) Temperature, density, and compressibility all increase. Elim
aleksley [76]

Answer:

B) Temperature, kinetic energy, and compressibility all increase.

Explanation:

The temperature increases, since the boiling point of water is greater than its melting point. The average kinetic energy of the molecules is proportional to their temperature, therefore, it also increases. Finally, solids are very difficult to compress, since their molecules are very close, while gases have very separate molecules, therefore, they are highly compressible.

A boy and a girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. The boy has a mass of 60 kg and the girl's mass is 50 kg. If the boy sits 1.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer: 1.8m

Explanation:

Using the principle of moment to solve the question which states that the sum of clockwise moment is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments.

The boy moves in the clockwise direction towards the pivot while the girl moves in the anticlockwise direction towards the pivot.

Since moment = force × perpendicular distance

CW moments = 60×1.5 = 90Nm

ACW moments = 50×x = 50x

Equating both moments to get 'x'

90 = 50x

x =9/5

x = 1.8m

This shows that the girl must sit 1.8m from the other side for equilibrium.:
