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.

1)a persons ________ will change if they move from the earth to the moon

fgiga [73]

A person's weight will change if they move from the earth to the moon. This does not however, change the person's mass. Mass is the amount of matter that makes up an object, and volume is how much space it takes up. On the moon, there is a lighter gravitational pull on said person, so they will not weigh as much if they stepped on a scale.

A motorist is driving at 20m/s when she sees that a traffic light 200m ahead has just turned red. She knows that this light stay

yuradex [85]

Answer:

5.71428571422 m/s

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity = 20 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Time taken = 15-1 = 14 s

Distance traveled in 1 second = $20\times 1=20\ m$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 200-20=20\times 14+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 14^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{2(180-20\times14)}{14^2}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.02040816327\ m/s^2$

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=20-1.02040816327\times 14\\\Rightarrow v=5.71428571422\ m/s$

The speed as she reaches the light at the instant it turns green is 5.71428571422 m/s

6. An aircraft is is travelling along a runway at a Velocity of 25m/s in It accelerates at a rate of 4m/s² for a distance of 750

zysi [14]

Answer:

Take-off velocity = v = 81.39[m/s]

Explanation:

We can calculate the takeoff speed easily, using the following kinematic equation.

$v_{f}^{2}=v_{i}^{2} +2*a*x$

where:

a = acceleration = 4[m/s^2]

x = distance = 750[m]

vi = initial velocity = 25 [m/s]

vf = final velocity

$v_{f}=\sqrt{(25)^{2}+(2*4*750) } \\v_{f}=81.39[m/s]$

An electron is a negatively charged particle that has a charge of magnitude, e - 1.60 x 10-19 C. Which one of the following stat

irina [24]

Explanation:

The charge on the electron is, $q=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

The electric field at a distance r from the electron is :

$E=k\dfrac{q}{r^2}$

Where

k is the electrostatic constant, $k=\dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}$

We know that the electric field lines starts from positive charge and ends at the negative charge. Also, for a positive charge the field lines are outwards while for a negative charge the field lines are inwards.

So, the correct option is " the electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of $k\dfrac{q}{r^2}$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
