A.Kinetic and potential energy change, but total energy stays the same.
B.Potential energy is increased, but kinetic energy stays the same.
C.Kinetic energy is created during a roller coaster ride.
D.Potential energy is destroyed during a roller coaster ride.

Answer:

A.Kinetic and potential energy change, but total energy stays the same.

Explanation:

According to the Principle of Energy Conservation, the energy is not created nor destroyed, but transformed. Given the absence of non-conservative or external forces, it is conducted that total energy is the sum of potential and kinetic energy, whose proportion changes in the process. Neither potential energy nor kinetic energy are destroyed or created. Therefore, the answer is A.

I am not sure what the graph looks like, so I don’t know which parts of the roller coaster is marked. However, I believe the answer is C: Kinetic energy is created during a roller coaster ride, since a roller coaster typically has a lot of built up potential energy that converts to kinetic energy when the roller falls from a large hill on the tracks.

Answer:

When the ambulance is coming towardss you the waves are smushed together and sound higher pitched but then it passes you and when tracveling away the waves are scretched out so the whee whoo sounds lower and that is because of the doppler effect

A mysterious white powder could be powdered sugar (C12H22O11), cocaine (C17H21NO4), codeine (C18H21NO3), norfenefrine (C8H11NO2)
rodikova [14]

Norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂).

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

We will solve a case related to one of the colligative properties, namely freezing point depression.

The freezing point of the solution is the temperature at which the solution begins to freeze. The difference between the freezing point of the solvent and the freezing point of the solution is called freezing point depression.

\boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = T_f(solvent) - T_f(solution) \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ \Delta T_f = K_f \times molality \ }

<u>Given:</u>

A mysterious white powder could be,

  • powdered sugar (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁) with a molar mass of 342.30 g/moles,
  • cocaine (C₁₇H₂₁NO₄) with a molar mass of 303.35 g/moles,
  • codeine (C₁₈H₂₁NO₃) with a molar mass of 299.36 g/moles,
  • norfenefrine (C₈H₁₁NO₂) with a molar mass of 153.18 g/moles, or
  • fructose (C₆H₁₂O₆) with a molar mass of 180.16 g/moles.

When 82 mg of the powder is dissolved in 1.50 mL of ethanol (density = 0.789 g/cm³, normal freezing point −114.6°C, Kf = 1.99°C/m), the freezing point is lowered to −115.5°C.

<u>Question: </u>What is the identity of the white powder?

<u>The Process:</u>

Let us identify the solute, the solvent, initial, and final temperatures.

  • The solute = the powder
  • The solvent = ethanol
  • The freezing point of the solvent = −114.6°C
  • The freezing point of the solution = −115.5°C

Prepare masses of solutes and solvents.

  • Mass of solute = 82 mg = 0.082 g
  • Mass of solvent = density x volume, i.e., \boxed{ \ 0.789 \ \frac{g}{cm^3} \times 1.50 \ cm^3 = 1.1835 \ g = 0.00118 \ kg  \ }

We must prepare the solvent mass unit in kg because the unit of molality is the mole of the solute divided by the mass of the solvent in kg.

The molality formula is as follows:

\boxed{ \ m = \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{kg \ of \ solvent} \ } \rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = \frac{mass \ of \ solute \ (g)}{molar \ mass \ of \ solute \times kg \ of \ solvent} \ }

Now we combine it with the formula of freezing point depression.

\boxed{ \ \Delta T_f =  K_f \times \frac{mass \ of \ solute \ (g)}{molar \ mass \ of \ solute \times kg \ of \ solvent} \ }

It is clear that we will determine the molar mass of the solute (denoted by Mr).

We enter all data into the formula.

\boxed{ \ -114.6^0C - (-115.5^0C) = 1.99 \frac{^0C}{m} \times \frac{0.082 \ g}{Mr \times 0.00118 \ kg} \ }

\boxed{ \ 0.9 = \frac{1.99 \times 0.082}{Mr \times 0.00118} \ }

\boxed{ \ Mr = \frac{0.16318}{0.9 \times 0.00118} \ }

We get \boxed{ \ Mr = 153.65 \ }

These results are very close to the molar mass of norfenefrine which is 153.18 g/mol. Thus the white powder is norfenefrine.
