Pour the entire components into water.

First the iron filings can be separated using a magnet as iron is a magnetic element.

By pouring the mixture into water, it allows the salt to dissolve in the water, while the sand will not.

Next we can run this solution through a filtration device to separate the sand from the water.

Now all that's left is to let the water evaporate so that the salt will be exposed that dissolved into the water.

5. Graph A below plots a race car's speed for 5 seconds. The car's rate of acceleration is 6 m/s^2

Georgia [21]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

We are to check if the statement is true of false. If it is false, we correct the statement.

Solution:

Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity. It is the ratio of the change in velocity to the change in time. The acceleration can be gotten from a velocity time graph by finding the slope of the graph.

The x coordinate represent the time and the y coordinate velocity.

5) Graph A passes through the point (0, 0) and (4, 24). Therefore the acceleration (slope) is:

Acceleration = $\frac{24-0}{4-0}=6\ m/s^2$

This is correct.

6) Graph B is a straight line of 12 m/s. It passes through (0, 12) and (4, 12). Hence:

Acceleration = $\frac{12-12}{4-0}=0\ m/s^2$

This is false.

Therefore the acceleration of graph B is 0 m/s².

rusak2 [61]

Answer: C

Explanation:

Convective heat transfer, or convection, is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids, a process that is essentially the transfer of heat via mass transfer.

Because atoms of elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same number of neutrons, they have similar properties

AURORKA [14]

False. What actually determines the properties of elements are the electrons, or aka valence electrons. They are used to bond, which determines its properties.
