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.

Explanation:

Elements:

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

Compounds:

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

Explain about kinetic theory

Luden [163]

Answer:

The model, called the kinetic theory of gases, assumes that the molecules are very small relative to the distance between molecules. ... The molecules are in constant random motion, and there is an energy (mass x square of the velocity) associated with that motion. The higher the temperature, the greater the motion.

For the different values given for the radius of curvature RRR and speed vvv, rank the magnitude of the force of the roller-coas

nirvana33 [79]

Explanation:

The force of the roller-coaster track on the cart at the bottom is given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{R}$ , m is mass of roller coaster

Case 1.

R = 60 m v = 16 m/s

$F=\dfrac{(16)^2m}{60}=4.26m\ N$

Case 2.

R = 15 m v = 8 m/s

$F=\dfrac{(8)^2m}{15}=4.26m\ N$

Case 3.

R = 30 m v = 4 m/s

$F=\dfrac{(4)^2m}{30}=0.54m\ N$

Case 4.

R = 45 m v = 4 m/s

$F=\dfrac{(4)^2m}{45}=0.36m\ N$

Case 5.

R = 30 m v = 16 m/s

$F=\dfrac{(16)^2m}{30}=8.54m\ N$

Case 6.

R = 15 m v =12 m/s

$F=\dfrac{(12)^2m}{15}=9.6m\ N$

Ranking from largest to smallest is given by :

F>E>A=B>C>D

A small rubber ball is launched by a compressed-air cannon from ground level with an initial speed of 11.8 m/s directly upward.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

7.09683 m

1.20285 s

2.4057 s

11.8 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² (negative up, positive down)

From equation of motion we have

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-11.8^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=7.09683\ m$

The maximum height above the ground that the ball reaches is 7.09683 m

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-11.8}{-9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=1.20285\ s$

Time taken to go up is 1.20285 s it will take the same time to come down so total time taken to reach the ground after it is shot is 1.20285+1.20285 = 2.4057 s

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 1.20285\\\Rightarrow v=11.8\ m/s$
