Explain the differences between a physical and chemical change, and give examples of each.

Chemical change:  a reaction/event where the chemicals/elements present before the change are NOT the same molecules present after the change.
For example, combustion reactions such as the burning of wood or rubbing alcohol are examples of chemical change. The reactants before the combustion of rubbing alcohol are CH3O (rubbing alcohol) and O2 oxygen (oxygen). The molecules present after the combustion reaction are CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water vapor).

Physical Change: a change in structure or state of a substance but, after the change the material is the same material that we started with. One example would be breaking a glass bottle by dropping it. The glass is now in smaller pieces than when we started, but the glass molecules are still glass molecules.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
taurus [48]

Answer:  

a. Speed = 1.6 m/s  

b. Amplitude = 0.3 m  

c. Speed = 1.6 m/s  

Amplitude = 0.15 m  

Explanation:  

a.  

The frequency of the wave must be equal to the reciprocal of the time taken by the boat to move from the highest point to the highest point again. This time will be twice the value of the time taken to travel from the highest point to the lowest point:

frequency = \frac{1}{2(2\ s)} = 0.25 Hz  

The wavelength of the wave is the distance between consecutive crests of the wave. Therefore,  

Wavelength = 6.4 m  

Now, the speed of the wave is given as:  

Speed = (Frequency)(Wavelength)  

Speed = (0.25 Hz)(6.4 m)  

<u>Speed = 1.6 m/s</u>

b.  

Amplitude is the distance between the mean position of the wave and the extreme position. Hence, it will be half the distance between the highest and lowest point:  

Amplitude = (0.5)(0.6 m)  

<u>Amplitude = 0.3 m</u>  

c.  

frequency = \frac{1}{2(2\ s)} = 0.25 Hz  

Speed = (Frequency)(Wavelength)  

Speed = (0.25 Hz)(6.4 m)  

<u>Speed = 1.6 m/s</u>  

Amplitude = (0.5)(0.3 m)

<u>Amplitude = 0.15 m</u>

Resistance is seen as part of ______________--- how a person understands his or her being and relationship to the world at large
aleksley [76]

Answer:

The self and world construct

Explanation:

in physics

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit. Resistance is measured in ohms, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω). Ohms are named after Georg Simon Ohm (1784-1854), a German physicist who studied the relationship between voltage, current and resistance.

Self psychology views resistances as protecting a vulnerable self. Resistances are seen as efforts to maintain levels of organization that patients have achieved within the context of their traumatic life situation.

A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 28.0 m/s how much time is required to reach this height
Solnce55 [7]
A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 17.0 m/s. How fast is it moving when it reaches a height of 11.0 m? How long is required to reach this height?

Let’s review the 4 basic kinematic equations of motion for constant acceleration (this is a lesson – suggest you commit these to memory):

s = ut + ½ at^2 …. (1)

v^2 = u^2 + 2as …. (2)

v = u + at …. (3)

s = (u + v)t/2 …. (4)

where s is distance, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

In this case, we know u = 17.0m/s, a = -g = -9.81m/s^2, s = 11.0m and we want to know v and t, so from equation (2):

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

v^2 = 17.0^2 -2(9.81)(11.0)

v = √73.18 = 8.55m/s

now from equation (3):

v = u + at

8.55 = 17.0 – 9.81t

t = (8.55 – 17.0)/(-9.81) = 0.86s
