Brass can be classified as $\boxed{{\text{a}}{\text{. homogenous mixture and a solid solution}}}$ .

Further explanation:

Alloy:

An alloy is defined as combination of metals or a combination of one or more metals with non-metals. Alloys have a large range of applications, ranging from surgical tools, aerospace industry to automobile construction. Steel, solder, brass, pewter, bronze, and amalgams are some examples of alloys. Alloys can be either solid solution or a mixture of metallic phases.

Mixture:

The material that is made up of two or more substances is called a mixture. It has no fixed formula, and its composition is also varied. All the individual constituents retain their properties after the formation of the mixture.

Types of mixtures:

1. Homogeneous mixtures

Homogeneous is a Latin word that means the same. These mixtures have a uniform composition throughout. Air, orange juice, and blood are the examples of a homogenous mixture.

2. Heterogeneous mixtures

Heterogeneous is a Latin word that means different. These mixtures that have non-uniform composition throughout. Concrete, soda, and chocolate chip cookies are the examples of a heterogeneous mixture.

Characteristics of mixtures:

1. It has a variable composition and has no formula.

2. Mixtures are not formed by any chemical reactions.

3. Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous.

4. The constituents of the mixtures can be separated by physical methods such as filtration, heating, drying, distillation, crystallization.

5. The properties of the individual particles of the mixture are retained even after the formation of mixtures.

Copper and zinc are the two metals that are first melted, mixed and then solidified to form brass. Their composition is the same throughout the whole part of brass. So brass is an example of homogeneous mixture. It is also known as solid solution where zinc acts as solute and copper is a solvent.

Hello!

Brass is a Homogeneous mixture.

Homogeneous mixtures are those in which the components are in the same proportions in all the sample. In brass, as the two metals are fused together to form an alloy, the composition is the same in the entire piece. Brass is also called a Solid Solution. Brass is not a pure substance because it has two different elements in its composition.

Have a nice day!

Alicia está a punto de perder su bus. En un desesperado intento, corre a una velocidad constante de 5 m/s. Cuando está a 15 m de

pochemuha

Answer:

Si logra alcanzar el bus.

Explanation:

Para poder solucionar este problema debemos de tener en cuenta que Alicia corre a velocidad constante para poder alcanzar el bus. La formula de la cinematica que tiene en cuenta la velocidad constante es la siguiente:

$x_{f} = x_{o}+(v*t)$

donde:

Xf = Ubicacion del punto donde se encuentra el bus [m]

Xo = Ubicacion desde donde esta Alicia [m]

v = velocidad constante = 5 [m/s]

t = tiempo [s]

Xf - Xo = 15 [m]

15 = 5*t

t = 3 [s]

Ahora con el tiempo podemos encontrar la velocidad del bus por medio de la siguiente ecuacion de cinematica para la aceleracion constante:

$v_{f} = v_{i}+(a*t)$

donde:

Vf = velocidad del bus despues de los 3 [s]

Vi = velocidad inicial = 0

a = aceleracion = 0.5 [m/s^2]

Vf = 0 + (0.5*3)

Vf = 1.5 [m/s]

La velocidad del bus es menor que la velocidad de Alicia, por ende Alicia alcanzara el bus.

How could you increase the force advantage of a lever?Select one:a. Make the effort length longer.b. Make the effort length shor

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The ideal mechanical advantage of a lever (IMA) is given by:

$IMA=\frac{Le}{Lr}$

Where:

Le = Effort of the arm

Lr = Resistance arm.

Therefore, we can increase the force adventage by increasing the effort arm or reducing the load arm

Answer:

a. Make the effort length longer.

Why do slippery fluids such as oil reduce sliding friction

Gwar [14]

fluid friction occurs when an object moves through a liquid or gas. the force needed to overcome fluid friction is usually less then that needed to overcome sliding friction. the fluid keeps the surface from making direct contact and thus reducing friction.

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Constructive interference

Explanation:

Here, the medium is same, same wavelength, same frequency, same amplitude and same direction of propagation.

Let the intensity of waves be I which is same for both

The formula for the net intensity is

$I^{2}=I_{1}^{2}+I_{2}^{2}+2I_{1}I_{2}Cos\phi$

where, Ф be the phase difference

So, $I_{R}^{2}=I^{2}+I^{2}+2IICos6\pi$

Here, IR is maximum so the interference is constructive in nature.

The deepest point in the ocean is 11 km below sea level, deeper than Mt. Everest is tall.

34kurt

The pressure at the depth 11 km below sea level can be calculated using

P=ρgh

P is pressure, ρ is the density of the fluid; g is the gravitational constant, h is the height from the surface, or depth that the object is submerged.

P = ( 1000 kg/ m3) ( 9.81 m.s2)( 11 000m) + 1 atm

P = 107,910,000 pa ( 1 atm/ 101 325 Pa) + 1 atm = 1066 atm
