There are several differences between a physical and chemical change in matter or substances. A physical change in a substance doesn't change what the substance is. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed.

A couple walking in the park strolls 1.5 km in 60 min. What is the couple’s average speed in m/h?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

0.932 m/h

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Distance walked by couple, D = 1.5 km

Time spent in walking, t = 60 min

To solve this we simply apply the formula for average peed:

Average Speed = total distance / total time taken

The question asks specifically to put the answer in miles per hour (m/h), hence, we need to convert the distance to miles and the time to hours:

Distance in miles:

1 km = 0.622 miles

1.5 km = 1.5 * 0.622 = 0.932 miles

Time in hours = 60 / 60 = 1 hour

Hence, the speed is:

Speed = 0.932 / 1 = 0.932 m/h

The average speed of the couple is 0.932 m/h

A physics student standing on the edge of a cliff throws a stone vertically downward with an initial speed of 10 m/s. The instan
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The velocity just before hitting the ground is v_f = 30 m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The initial speed is  u = 10 m/s

    The final speed is  v = 30 \ m/s

From the equations of motion we have that

      v^2 =u^2 + 2as

Where s is the distance travelled which is the height of the cliff

  So making it the subject of the the formula  we have that

        s = \frac{v^2 - u^2 }{2a}

Where a is the acceleration due to gravity with a value  a = 9.8m/s^2

       So

                  s = \frac{30^2 - 10^2 }{2 * 9.8 }

                  s = 40.8 \ m

Now we are told that was through horizontally with a speed of

      v_x =10 m/s

Which implies that this would be its velocity horizontally through out the motion

    Now it final  velocity vertically can be mathematically evaluated as

            v_y = \sqrt{2as}

Substituting values

             v_y = \sqrt{(2 * 9.8 * 40.8)}

             v_y =  28.3 \ m/s

The resultant final velocity is mathematically evaluated as

       v_f = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

Substituting values

       v_f = \sqrt{10^2 + 28.3^2}

       v_f = 30 m/s

What is the application of a spherometer in the medical field?​
Anton [14]

Answer:

To correct the defects of vision by measuring the radius of curvature and thus the power of the lenses.

Explanation:

A spherometer is an instrument used to measure the curvature of objects such as lenses and curved mirrors.

Generally it consists of a fine screw which is moving in a nut carried on the center of a 3 small legged table or frame. The feet forms the vertices of an equilateral triangle. The lower end of the screw and those of the table legs are finely tapered and terminate in hemispheres.

If the screw has two turns of the thread to the milli meter the head is generally divided into 50 equal parts, so that differences of 0.01 millimeter may be measured without using a vernier scale.

The spherometer is used to measure the radius of curvature of the lenses so that the opthalmologist find the focal length of the lens and then give the  power to the lens to correct the defects of vision.

On a smooth horizontal floor, an object slides into a spring which is attached to another mass that is initially stationary. Whe
saul85 [17]

Answer: (E) Momentum and mechanical energy

Explanation:

 The momentum and the mechanical energy is basically conserved during the given interaction process as the forces on the given system are in the form of internal nature and then the momentum are get conserved.

According to the given question, on the smooth floor when an object are slides by using the spring then the momentum and the mechanical energy are conserved.

The mechanical energy is the combination of both the kinetic and the potential energy that is used for doing some amount of work. Therefore, Option (E) is correct answer.
