Why was Democritus considered a philosopher and not a scientist?

Physics

Answer:

Democritus had no scientific instruments to extend the reach of his senses, so all of his experiments were just 'mind experiments', but because Democritus was a philosopher, he thought more into depth about why we humans are alive which led to the atomic theory.

What is the difference between the formation of an ionic bond and formation of a covalent bond?

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Answer to the question:

Explanation:

Differences between ionic bond and covalent bond:

The ionic bond occurs between two different atoms (metallic and non-metallic), while the covalent bond occurs between two equal atoms (non-metallic).

In the covalent bond there is an electron compartment, while in the ionic bond there is an electron transfer.

Ionic bonds have a high melting and boiling point, while covalent bonds usually have a low point.

Explain what characterises a sound as noise or music

natta225 [31]

Explanation:

Noise is sound with a continuous structure. Music is composed of sounds with a fundamental frequency and overtones. Noise is composed of sounds with frequencies that range continuously in value from as low as you can hear to as high as you can hear — not necessarily at equal intensity, however.

A girl coasts down a hill on a sled, reaching level ground at the bottom with a speed of 7.4 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic fri

Amanda [17]

Answer: 62.22 meters

Explanation:

Two solve this, we need to know first how the Sled interact with the snow. While the Sled runs over the snow, the snow opposes to it movement, this is call friction. Frictions creates is a force that goes against any movement and is caused by the interaction between surfaces.

Friction can be calculated using the following equation:

Friction's Force (Ff) = m*N

Where m is the Frictions coficient and N is call Normal, which is a force created by the contact between any weight and a surface. Because the sled is and the surface are totally horizontal, the Normal is equal to the Sled's Weight.

So for this case, we can calculate the Friction's Force:

Ff = 0.045 * 735 N

Ff = 33,07 N

This force will cause a negative acceleration the Sled causing it to slow down and finally stop. To know this accelaration we can use the following equation:

Force (F) = Mass (m) * Accelaration (a)

Looking for the accelaration:

Acceleration (a) = F / M

As a side note:

Mass (M) = F / a (1)

Where we know that F is equal to our Friction Force (Ff) and the Mass for the girl and the Sled can be obtained using the previous equation (1) like this

Girl and sled Mass (M) = 735 N / (9.81 m/s)

M = 74,92 Kg

This is posible, because the Girl and The Sled are aplying a Force on the ground equal to 735 N. The accelartion for their mass is the gravity

Now, with the mass we can found the Accelaration caused by friction:

Acceleration (a) = Ff / M

Accelaration (a) = 33,07 N / 74,92 Kg

a = 0,44 $m/s^{2}$

To know how far the Sled travel we can use the following equation:

$V_{f} ^{2} = V_{0} ^{2} + 2ax$

Where Vf is the Final Velocity, which is when the sled finally stops (Vf = 0), Vo is the Initial Speed of the Sled equal to 7.4 m/s and a is equal to the negative accelaration that causes the friction.

$(0)^{2} = (7.4 m/s)^{2} + 2(-0,44)x$

Searching for x:

$x = \frac{0 - (7.4 m/s)^{2} }{-0.88}$

$x = 62.22 meters$

The girls will run over the snow 62.22 meter until finally stopping
