A physical change in something doesn't change what the it is. For example, if you break glass, it will still be glass. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new thing is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed. For example, when you burn a log. The carbon in the log is reacting to the oxygen to create ashe and smoke

The friction force between a bag and the floor is 4 N. what is the net force acting on the bag? What is the acceleration of the

tester [92]

Well, if the bag is moving across the floor at a constant velocity. Then I would assume that the Fnet force is equal to 0, and thus the value of acceleration would also be equal to 0.

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air

frosja888 [35]

The frequency of the wave has not changed.

In fact, the frequency of a wave is given by:

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where v is the wave's speed and $\lambda$ is the wavelength.

Applying the formula:

- In air, the frequency of the wave is:

$f=\frac{400 m/s}{2 m}=200 Hz$

- underwater, the frequency of the wave is:

$f=\frac{1600 m/s}{8 m}=200 Hz$

So, the frequency has not changed.

Density of iron in CGS unit is 7.8 g/cm3. Its density is SI is

kumpel [21]

Answer:

7800kg/m³

Explanation:

Density of iron in CGS unit is 7.8 g/cm3. Its density is SI is

Given the density of iron = 7.8 g/cm3.

The SI units must be in kg/m³

7.8g = 7.8/1000 kg

7.8g = 0.0078kg

1cm³ = 0.000001m³

7.8g/cm³

= 0.0078/0.000001 kg/m³

= 7800kg/m³

Hence the density in SI unit is 7800kg/m³

Why is it a good idea to start with room temperature water in the calorimeter?

densk [106]

Explanation:

It is a good idea to start with room temperature water in the calorimeter because the room temperature water helps to determine the heating up/cooling down because of the environment as the experiment takes place. Because the calorimeter heat is the same as the heat of the water.

PART ONE

Lina20 [59]

Explanation:

Make a table, listing the x and y coordinates of each square's center of gravity and its mass. Multiply the coordinates by the mass, add the results for each x and y, then divide by the total mass.

$\left\begin{array}{ccccc}x&y&m&xm&ym\\\frac{a}{2} &\frac{a}{2} &10&5a&5a\\\frac{3a}{2}&\frac{a}{2}&70&105a&35a\\\frac{a}{2}&\frac{3a}{2}&80&40a&120a\\\frac{3a}{2}&\frac{3a}{2}&50&75a&75a\\&\sum&210&225a&235a\\&&Avg&\frac{15a}{14}&\frac{47a}{42}\end{array}\right$

The x-coordinate of the center of gravity is 15/14 a.

The y-coordinate of the center of gravity is 47/42 a.
