Pure water is a colorless, odorless liquid with no molecules
except H₂O in it.  You can buy it at the supermarket, or make
it at home if you have the equipment and know how to use it.
At the supermarket, it's sold in gallon jugs, marked "Distilled
Water".

It turns out that pure water tastes bleah, and you would not
want to drink it for very long.

The Earth's water cycle is constantly purifying our water.
When the sun warms the ocean's surface and evaporates
water, what evaporates and rises into the atmosphere is
pure water.  The pollutants don't evaporate.  The clouds,
the rain, and the rivers are self-purifying.  Another example
of a process of nature that makes life possible here.

The junk is collecting in the oceans.  We're lucky that the oceans
have such huge volume that we haven't been able to significantly
pollute that entire layer of the Earth and kill off all sea life yet. 
But we're working on it.

We run a distance of 1000 m at a speed of 4.3 m/s. Calculate the time elapsed to cover this distance
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

So if we need to cover 1000 meters. And we go at a speed of 4.3 m/s. That means that every 4.3 meters we cover is 1 second. So we divide both amd get

1000/4.3 = 232.56 is approx the answer. Also the meters cancel out because

m/(m/s) = m*s/m, cancels out giving s as a unit.

<h2><u>Therefore the answer is 232.56 seconds</u></h2>

A supersonic jet, with a mass of 21,000 kg, departs from its home airbase with a velocity of 400 m/s due east. What is the jet’s
disa [49]

Answer:

Momentum  P is 840000kgm/s or 8.4 × 10^6

Explanation:

Data :

        Mass = 21000 kg

        Velocity = 400 m/s

So momentum is given as

      P = mv

      P = 21000×400

    P = 8400000 kgm/s

       P = 8.4 × 10^6
