Answer:

Differences are listed below:

Explanation:

Weight: Plastic can weigh appreciably much less than than metal.A plastic part weighs approximately one-sixth of the same part in steel.

Chemical resistance:Plastic are much less likely to suffer chemical attack and don not corrode.

Machinability: Plastic are much more easier to cut through than metal.

Product life: The life span for plastic is longer than of the metals in many applications.

Cost: The cost of plastic raw materials is appreciably less than of the metals.

Heat: Plastic are less heat resistive than metals.

Ultraviolet light can degrade the plastics soon.

Strength: Metal provides more strength than the plastic.

stepan [7]

Your answer is electricity, light and magnetism. They can be determined usinf elecromagnetic radioation.

Even the energy can't be detected by our eyes, there are a lot of measurement instruments that can measure infrared (IR), gamma rays, radio or X-rays or ultraviolet (UV)

A diffraction grating with 600 lines/mmlines/mm is illuminated with light of wavelength 510 nmnm. A very wide viewing screen is

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

A.2.95 m

B.7

Explanation:

We are given that

Diffraction grating=600 lines/mm

d= $\frac{1 mm}{600}=\frac{1\times 10^{-3} m}{600}=1.67\times 10^{-6} m$

Wavelength of light, $\lambda=510 nm=510\times 10^{-9} m$

l=4.6 m

A.We have to find the distance between the two m=1 bright fringes

$sin\theta=\frac{m\lambda}{d}$

For first bright fringe, =1

$sin\theta=\frac{1\times 510\times 10^{-9}}{1.67\times 10^{-6}}=0.305$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(0.305)=17.76^{\circ}$

The distance between two m=1 fringes

$x=2ltan\theta=2\times 4.6 tan(17.76^{\circ})=2.95 m$

Hence, the distance between two m=1 fringes=2.95 m

B.For maximum number of fringes,

$sin\theta=1$

$sin\theta=\frac{m\lambda}{d}$

Substitute the values

$1=\frac{m\times 510\times 10^{-9}}{1.67\times 10^{-6}}$

$m=\frac{1.67\times 10^{-6}}{510\times 10^{-9}}=3.3\approx 3$

Maximum number of bright fringes on the scree= $2m+1=2(3)+1=7$

Identify which one is chemical change, chemical property,physical change and physical property

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Heat conductivity: Physical property

Silver tarnishing: chemical change

Sublimation: physical change

Magnetizing steel: physical property

Length of a metal object: physical property

Shortening melting: physical property

exploding dynamite: chemical change

combustible: chemical property

water freezing: physical change

Acid resistance: chemical property

brittleness: physical property

milk souring: chemical change

baking bread: chemical change

Explanation:

First you need to understand the differences between physical and chemical change; physical and chemical property.

Physical properties vs chemical properties:

Physical properties are properties that you can observe without changing the substance's composition. This means you can measure these properties without changing them chemically.

Chemical properties, on the other hand, are properties are not as direct. These properties are generally determined by the way the react with other substances changing their composition.

Physical changes vs chemical changes:

A substance that undergoes physical change does not change in chemical composition. They may look physically different in terms of size and shape, but overall, their chemical composition remains constant. The best example would be water. Water can change phases, from solid to liquid when they melt. Essentially, they look like different substances, but the change is only physical and not chemical.

Chemical change, is different by the fact that they change in chemical composition. Bonds are broken and/or made through the reaction, which changes them not only physically but chemically as well. Some of the most indicative signs of a chemical change occurring are: change in color, odor, production of gas, production of light/heat.
