Preston goes on a camel safari in Africa. He travels 5km north, then 3km south and then 1km north again. What distance did he co

ver? What was his displacement?

Answer:

<u>Distance:</u> 9 km

<u>Displacement:</u> 3 km

Explanation:

Distance takes into account the entire path that, in this case, Preston walked, while displacement, considers only the difference between the initial and final point.

In the picture, the different paths represent as a whole the distance he covered (5+3+1), whereas, the start and final point represent displacement (3-0)

An iron object alloyed with cobalt rusts more quickly than a pure iron object. However, an iron object alloyed with manganese ru
HACTEHA [7]

Rusting is an electrochemical reaction. Iron rusts faster when alloyed with cobalt than when alloyed with manganese because, in the iron-manganese alloy, manganese is rendered the anode and iron is rendered the cathode

An alloy is a combination of two metals. There are various reasons for producing alloys such as greater tensile strength, corrosion resistance and improved aesthetic appearance.

When iron is alloyed with cobalt, the iron rusts faster than pure iron because iron is rendered the anode and cobalt is rendered the cathode. When the iron is alloyed with manganese, it rusts more slowly than pure iron because in the iron-manganese alloy, manganese is rendered the anode and iron is rendered the cathode.

Missing parts;

An iron object alloyed with cobalt rusts more quickly than a pure iron object. However, an iron object alloyed with manganese rusts less quickly than a pure iron object under the same conditions. This is true because

(1) cobalt is a stronger reducing agent than iron

(2) iron is a stronger reducing agent than manganese

(3) cobalt exhibits more metallic character than either iron or manganese

(4) in the iron-manganese alloy, manganese is rendered the anode and iron is rendered the cathode

(5) in the iron-cobalt alloy, cobalt is rendered the anode and iron is rendered the cathode

What are the 5 types of matter?
sdas [7]

The five types of states of matter are solid, liquid, gas, plasma and Bose-Einstein condensate.

Solid objects do not move a lot relative to themselves. Their molecules stay stacked neatly with no intermolecular spaces. They do not have much energy, or heat hence the molecules in solid state don't show movement.

Liquid state have more heat and more energy and a little more intermolecular space than solid. Their molecules are no longer stacked neatly due to presence of air capsules, but they still touch each other. Their structure is uncertain and can flow, their shape will alter quickly and dramatically with outside forces, but they will essentially remain a single mass unless pushed apart.

Gasses have even more energy than liquid and solid. Due to presence of high intermolecular spaces they flow like liquids, but are even more susceptible to the forces acting on them. Their molecules don’t touch each other, but are still close enough to bounce into one another frequently.

Plasma is the state of matter which is like a gas on steroids. Molecules of plasma might start in the same area, but rarely touch each other. Plasma molecules have lost electrons, and have become charged. Plasma molecules set other things on fire, and even vaporize them.

Bose-Einstein condensate or BEC was first created by scientists in the year 1995. This was created using a combination of lasers and magnets, Eric Cornell and Carl Weiman, scientists at the Joint Institute for Lab Astrophysics (JILA) in Boulder, Colorado, cooled a sample of rubidium to within a few degrees of absolute zero.

Which of the following leads to a higher rate of diffusion?
miv72 [106K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Higher velocity of particles

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The diffusion rate is determined by a variety of factors which includes;

  • Temperature such that the higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the particles will have, so they will move and mix more quickly and the diffusion rate will be high.
  • Concentration gradient such that the greater the difference in concentration, the quicker the rate of diffusion.
  • Higher velocity of particles increases the diffusion rate as this means more kinetic energy by the particles and hence the particles will mix and move faster, thus higher diffusion rate.
