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.

<em>Types of mixtures: </em>

1. Homogeneous mixtures

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

2. Heterogeneous mixtures

<em>Heterogeneous</em> is a Latin word that means <em>different</em>. These mixtures that have <em>non-uniform composition</em> 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!

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

(a)0.0675  J

(b)0.0675 J

(c)0.0675 J

(d)0.0675 J

(e)-0.0675 J

(f)0.459 m

Explanation:

15g = 0.015 kg

(a) Kinetic energy as it leaves the hand

E_k = \frac{mv^2}{2} = \frac{0.015*3^2}{2} = 0.0675  J

(b) By the law of energy conservation, the work done by gravitational energy as it rises to its peak is the same as the kinetic energy as the ball leave the hand, which is 0.0675 J

(c) The change in potential energy would also be the same as 0.0675J in accordance with conservation law of energy.

(d) The gravitational energy at peak point would also be the same as 0.0675J

(e) In this case as the reference point is reversed, we would have to negate the original potential energy. So the potential energy as the ball leaves hand is -0.0675J

(f) Since at the maximum height the ball has potential energy of 0.0675J. This means:

mgh = 0.0675

0.015*9.81h = 0.0675

h = 0.459 m

The ball would reach a maximum height of 0.459 m

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

160 m

Explanation:

The intensity, I, of the sound is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, r, from the source.

I\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}

Hence,

I_1r_1^2 = I_2r_2^2

r_2 = r_1\sqrt{\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}}

From the question, I_2 is half of I_1

r_2 = r_1\sqrt{\dfrac{I_1}{0.5I_1}}

r_2 = r_1\sqrt{2}

r_2 = 113\text{ m}\sqrt{2} = 160 \text{ m}
