What dose it mean to say that mass is conserved during a physical change

Physics

xxMikexx [17]3 years ago

Answer:

When a physical change occurs, the mass of the substance is conserved. This means that the total mass of the substance remains the same from beginning to end. The physical properties of the substance, such as size and shape, may change, but the amount of matter in the substance does not change.

Explanation:

When there is no change in chemical composition of a substance then it is known as physical change.

When we say that mass is conserved during a physical change then it means that total mass of the substance or object will remain the same from beginning till the end.

For example, a metal box of mass 20 grams is beaten with hammer. Its shape will change which is a physical change and after beaten with the hammer its mass still remains 20 grams.

A truck loaded with sand accelerates along a highway. The driving force on the truck remains constant. What happens to the accel
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Acceleration will increase.

Explanation:

The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

F = ma

We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.

There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.

Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.

So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.

Changing the speed of a synchronous generator changes A) the frequency and amplitude of the output voltage. B) only the frequenc
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

A) the frequency and amplitude of the output voltag

Explanation:

Changing the speed of a synchronous generator changes both the output voltage (amplitude of the wave) and frequency as they tend to increase.

Changing the speed regulator will change the engine throttle setting to maintain the speed.

While the power, torque, current, fuel flow rate and torque angle will have decreased.

Which is an example of reflection
Elena-2011 [213]

Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves. The law of reflection says that for specular reflection the angle at which the wave is incident on the surface equals the angle at which it is reflected. Mirrors exhibit specular reflection.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

The answer is <u>D) Alpha and Gamma</u>

Gamma radiation does not cause transmutations.

A <u>transmutation</u> is the <u>conversion of an atom of one element to an atom of another. This generally occurs through nuclear reacting.</u>

There are three main types of radiation: alpha, beta, and gamma. Both beta and alpha decay cause changes to the mass and atomic numbers. This results in a transmutation. Gamma radiation, however, does not.

Gamma radiation is the result of a gamma ray. In essence, the nucleus emits a high-energy proton. This is very penetrating and can only be stopped by aluminum, lead, soil, water, and concrete. This type of radiation does not change the element and, therefore, does not cause a transmutation.

When measuring espresso for a drink, which instrument would give the<br> greatest precision?
Gemiola [76]

How many mL is an espresso?

One shot of espresso is generally about 30–50 ml (1–1.75 oz), and contains about 63 mg of caffeine (3). Important point: The “golden ratio” for espresso is this: a single shot is 30 to 44 mL (1 to 1.5 ounces) of water and 7 grams of coffee
