Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A compound is defined as a substance in which two or more different elements in a fixed ratio by mass combine chemically with each other.

For example, chemical formula of water is H_{2}O and it is a compound because here two atoms of hydrogen chemically combine with one atom of oxygen.

And, the ratio of these atoms is 2 : 1. A compound can be broken down into simpler substance by chemical means only.

Whereas an element is a substance that contains only same type of atoms that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.

Thus, we can conclude that water is a compound because it always has two hydrogen atoms for each oxygen atom.

A body of mass 5 kg has a velocity<br><br><br>20 MS <br><br>-1 its Momentum is​
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Momentum is 100 kg.m/s

Explanation:

given

mass, m = 5 kg

velocity, v = 20 m/s

To find : momentum (P)

We know that momentum is given by equation:

p = mv

  = 5 kg x 20 m/s

  = 100 kg.m/s

A 12kg cheetah accelerates 24 m/s". What is the force the cheetah needed to run?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

288N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Cheetah = 12kg

Acceleration  = 24m/s²

Unknown:

Force needed by the cheetah to run  = ?

Solution:

The force needed by the Cheetah to run is the net force.

According to Newton's law;

    Force  = mass x acceleration

Insert the given parameters and solve;

   Force  = 12 x 24  = 288N

Paola can flex her legs from a bent position through a distance of 20.1 cm. Paola leaves the ground when her legs are straight,
makkiz [27]

The third equation of free fall can be applied to determine the acceleration. So that Paola's acceleration during the flight is 39.80 m/s^{2}.

Acceleration is a quantity that has a direct relationship with velocity and also inversely proportional to the time taken. It is a vector quantity.

To determine Paola's acceleration, the third equation of free fall is appropriate.

i.e V^{2} = U^{2} ± 2as

where: V is the final velocity, U is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and s is the distance covered.

From the given question, s = 20.1 cm (0.201 m), U = 4.0 m/s, V = 0.

So that since Poala flies against gravity, then we have:

V^{2} = U^{2} - 2as

0 = (4)^{2} - 2(a x 0.201)

  = 16 - 0.402a

0.402a = 16

a = \frac{16}{0.402}

  = 39.801

a = 39.80 m/s^{2}

Therefore Paola's acceleration is 39.80 m/s^{2}.

What would happen if you tried to use a prism to disperse a beam that contained only green light?​
Margaret [11]

It is determined by the nature of the green light. Because lasers create light at almost a single frequency, green laser light would appear as a thin line of pure green. Other sources of "green" light emit light at a variety of frequencies, including yellow and blue, resulting in a strong green band in the center that fades into blue-green and yellow-green at the borders.

For example, here’s a graph of the spectrum of a green LED, showing the color range: Attachment #1

and here’s a graph of the transmission spectra of several standard photographic filters, including green: Attachment #2
