A scientist compares two samples of white powder. One powder was present at the beginning of an experiment. The other powder was

present at the end. She wants to determine whether a chemical reaction has occurred. She finds that neither sample bubbles or dissolves in water. She measures the mass and volume of the solids. Sample one has a volume of 45 cm3 and a mass of 0.5 g. Sample two has a volume of 65 cm3 and a mass of 1.3 g. What should the scientist conclude?
A)The samples have the same color, so no chemical reaction has occurred.
B)The two samples do not react with water, so no chemical reaction has occurred.
C)The densities of the samples are different, so a chemical reaction has occurred.
D)The densities of the samples are the same, so no chemical reaction has occurred.
E)The densities of the samples are different, so no chemical reaction has occurred.

Density of powder 1 = 0.5 g / 45 cm^3 = 1/90 g/cm^3
Density of powder 2 = 1.3 g / 65 cm^3 = 1/50 g/cm^3

Therefore the densities of the two powders are different, hence chemical reaction has occurred.

(note: none of the other choices make sense.  In fact, a different density does not necessarily indicate a chemical change, see paragraph below).

Density of powders are not definitive unless they are each of the same size and texture.  For example, granular sugar, rock sugar, and icing sugar all have different densities.  I would conclude that this experiment does not lend to a reliable answer.

You estimate the radius of the big wheel to be 19 m
posledela
Explanation:

first, find the circumference of the wheel by using the formula 2(pi)(r):

2(pi)(19) = 119.380521

divide by 25 secs

119.380521/25 = 4.77522083

round to the nearest tenth is 4.8, so the speed is 4.8mm/sec

Two train whistles have identical frequencies of 1.85 102 Hz. When one train is at rest in the station and the other is moving n
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

frequency of whistle = 1.85 x 10² = 185 Hz

frequency of beat heard = 8 beat /s . No of beat produced is equal to difference of frequencies of two sound source . Here difference is created due to Doppler effect . One of the train is moving so it will have apparent frequency which is different one from its original frequency .

When the moving train is approaching the observer , its frequency will be higher . As beat is heard at the rate of 8 beats / s , apparent frequency of approaching train will be 185 + 8 = 193 Hz .

Applying Doppler's formula of apparent frequency ,

193 = 185 x V / ( V - v ) , where V is velocity of sound and v is velocity of train .

193 V - 193 v = 185 V

193 v = 8 V

v = 8 x V / 193

= 8 x 343 / 193

= 14.21 m /s

Second possibility is that apparent velocity is less ie 185 - 8 = 177 Hz

In that case moving train will be moving away from observer . If its velocity be v

177 = 185 x V / ( V + v )

177 V + 177 v = 185 V

v = 8 x 343 / 177

= 15.50 m /s .

Suppose that an electron and a positron collide head-on. Both have kinetic energy of 1.20 MeV and rest energy of 0.511 MeV. They
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

E = 1.711 MeV

Explanation:

From the law of the conservation of energy:

K.E_{e}+K.E_p + E_{e}+E_{p} = 2 E

where,

K.E_e=K.Ep= the kinetic energy of positron and electron = 1.2 MeV

E_e=E_p = Rest energy of the electron and the positron = 0.511 MeV

E = Energy of Photon = ?

Therefore,

1.2\ MeV + 1.2\ MeV + 0.511\ MeV + 0.511\ MeV = 2E\\\\E = \frac{3.422\ MeV}{2}\\\\

<u>E = 1.711 MeV</u>

AP PHYSICS SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS
Anon25 [30]

Walking at a speed of 2.1 m/s, in the first 2 s John would have walked

(2.1 m/s) (2 s) = 4.2 m

Take this point in time to be the starting point. Then John's distance from the starting line at time <em>t</em> after the first 2 s is

<em>J(t)</em> = 4.2 m + (2.1 m/s) <em>t</em>

while Ryan's position is

<em>R(t)</em> = 100 m - (1.8 m/s) <em>t</em>

where Ryan's velocity is negative because he is moving in the opposite direction.

(b) Solve for the time when they meet. This happens when <em>J(t)</em> = <em>R(t)</em> :

4.2 m + (2.1 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m - (1.8 m/s) <em>t</em>

(2.1 m/s) <em>t</em> + (1.8 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m - 4.2 m

(3.9 m/s) <em>t</em> = 95.8 m

<em>t</em> = (95.8 m) / (3.9 m/s) ≈ 24.6 s

(a) Evaluate either <em>J(t)</em> or <em>R(t)</em> at the time from part (b).

<em>J</em> (24.6 s) = 4.2 m + (2.1 m/s) (24.6 s) ≈ 55.8 m
