Why is a mass movement of mud called a flow?

Chemistry

wariber [46]3 years ago

In terms of a deeper scientific reason, I am not sure, but the basic reason is quite simple. "Mud" tends to look like a mix between a solid, dirt, and a liquid, water or some other liquid. Since it is, in fact, a cross between a solid and a liquid, it has properties of both. It has certain physical and visual properties that only a solid would have, such as texture and opaqueness, but it also has physical properties of a liquid. Since it leans more towards the liquid side than the solid side, we say mud "flows" rather than saying that it "rolls" or "bounces".

Why do you think the different heating process result in different softness or hardness of the steel? Think about what steel is
ale4655 [162]

Explanation:

Different heating process affect the microstructure of the steel in different ways. Thus, imparting different properties to the steel. For example, annealing is done is done to impart softness to steel, hardening is done to hardened the steel( eg: carburizing, nitriding, cyaniding) whereas tempering is done to improve the ductility of the steel.

Steel mainly contains iron and carbon. This percentage of carbon and iron decides the property of the steel. It is the % of carbon which is altered in different heating process that to obtained the desire microstructure in steel.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Option D: More than 30 seconds

Explanation:

The enzyme CATALASE is found in almost all living organisms. CATALASE helps in the decomposition of one substance into another substance. CATALASE will breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

When the potatoes were boiled it will surely produce no bubbles because the heat would have degrade the enzyme - catalase While the potatoes at room temperature potato produced the most bubbles because catalase works best at a room temperature.

If the potato solution was boiled for 10 minutes and cooled for 10 minutes before being tested, the average time for the disks to float to the surface of the hydrogen peroxide solution would be MORE THAN 30 SECONDS
