Answer: A characteristic of matter that can be observed without changing the identity of the matter is a physical property.

Explanation:

A property that does not bring any change in chemical composition of a substance are known as physical properties.

For example, shape, size, mass, volume, density, etc of a substance are all physical properties.

Whereas a property that changes chemical composition of a substance is known as chemical property.

For example, precipitation, reactivity, toxicity etc are chemical property.

A chemical change cannot be reverted back.

Therefore, we can conclude that a characteristic of matter that can be observed without changing the identity of the matter is a physical property.

Andru [333]

The kinetic energy is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

We know the mass and the maximum speed, plugging their values in the expression above we have:

$\begin{gathered} K=\frac{1}{2}(9.1\times10^{-31})(8\times10^6)^2 \\ K=2.91\times10^{-17}\text{ J} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is d.

If you started the motor of a boat in the middle of a lake, who would detect the sound of the motor first: a friend sitting on t

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A friend snorkeling just below the surface of the water along the same shore will detect the sound first.

Explanation:

The speed of sound in water medium is faster than that through the air.
Sound propagates through the medium by transferring through the molecules on it. Water has more closely packed molecules due to which the speed is faster.
In fact, the sound's speed in water is almost four times faster than that in the air.
So the guy in the water surface gets to hear sound faster than the one in sore.
