The basic difference between a compound and an element is its constituents, in which the element is a pure individual chemical substance which has similar atom and compound is a mixture of two or more elements bounded chemically.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Elements:

  • <em>Elements are pure homogenous substance. </em>
  • <em>Elements have similar atoms grouped together. </em>
  • <em>Element is being represented with the chemical scientific symbol. </em>

Compounds:  

  • <em>Compound are heterogeneous mixture of elements. </em>
  • <em>Compound has different atoms which is combined in  fixed ratio. </em>
  • <em>Compound is given by chemical formula. </em>

In still​ water, a boat averages 18 18 miles per hour. it takes the same amount of time to travel 16 miles 16 miles ​downstream,
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>The current is 6 miles per hour.
   Let's create a few equations:
 Traveling with the current:
 (18 + c)*t = 16

   Traveling against the current:
 (18 - c)*t = 8

   Let's multiply the 2nd equation by 2
 (18 - c)*t*2 = 16

   Now subtract the 1st equation from the equation we just doubled.
 (18 - c)*t*2 = 16
 (18 + c)*t = 16

   (18 - c)*t*2 - (18 + c)*t = 0
 Divide both sides by t
 (18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0

   Now solve for c
 (18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0
 36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
 36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
 18 - 3c = 0
 18 = 3c
  6 = c

   So the current is 6 mph.
   Let's verify that.
 (18 + 6)*t = 16
 24*t = 16
 t = 16/24 = 2/3

   (18 - 6)*t = 8
 12*t = 8
 t = 8/12 = 2/3

   And it's verified.</span>

A solid cube of side 5cm has a mass of 250g. What is its density in kgm ??​
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

5kgm

Explanation:

convert cm to m and g to kg

250/1000=0.25kg

5/1000=0.05m

then find the density

density=mass/volume

=0.25kg/0.05m

=5kgm

A car is sitting still. It accelerates to a constant speed then it decelerates again to zero speed. While the car is acceleratin
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

in the acceleration process the quantity α and w must increase

the deceleration process the alpha quantity must constant  a direction opposite to the angular velocity

Explanation:

Acceleration and angular velocity are related to linear

           v = w xr

            a = αx r

The bold letters indicate vectors and the cross is a vector product, therefore if

we can see that the relationship between linear and angular variables is direct

therefore in the acceleration process the quantity α and w must increase as well as their linear counterparts

in the deceleration process the alpha quantity must constant as the linear acceleration and must have a direction opposite to the angular velocity
