Which statement correctly compares speed to velocity?

Chemistry

NeX [460]4 years ago

A It can't be because becasue velocity is notthe direction of an object

C It cant be c its does not mean the same thing

D It cant be d because they have the definitions mixed up

So your best bet is to go with B Speed is how fast an object is moving over distance/time. Velocity is the rate at which an object changes positon, over displacement/time

Hope this helps

Answer:

B. <em>Speed</em> is how fast an object is moving: speed = distance/time.

<em>Velocity</em> is the rate at which an object changes position: velocity = displacement/time

Explanation:

<em>Distance</em> is a <em>scalar </em>quantity. It has only <em>magnitude</em>. So, distance/time is also scalar. If you are travelling at 100 km/h, that is your speed, because you could be going in any direction.

Displacement is a <em>vector </em>quantity. It has both <em>magnitude and direction</em> So, displacement/time is also a vector. If you are travelling east at 100 km/h, that is your velocity, because you are stating both your speed and the direction

A sample of 54.0 g of methanol is heated from 25.0 °c to 35.0 °c. how much heat is required? the specific heat capacity of metha
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
The  amount of heat required   is calculated  using the below  formula

Q(heat) =M(mass) xC(specific heat capacity)x delta T (change in temperature)

change in the temperature in kelvin=(35+273)- (25 +2730= 10K
c= 2.48 j/g/k
mass= 54.0 g

Q= 54.0 g x 2.48 j/g/k x 10k  = 1339.2  joules is required

How does chromium oxide improve the properties of stainless steel?
Verdich [7]
It protects the alloy against rusting.

Stainless steels contain more than 10% chromium by mass, but almost no carbon. Stainless steels are durable because chromium forms an oxide that protects the steel from rusting. But stainless steel is more brittle than steels that contain more carbon.

How does plaster efect the strength of wood?
Tatiana [17]
<span>In this work the performance of gypsum plaster and wood particle in pastes and composites was investigated. Wood particles of fineness 0.42 mm and 1.20 mm were employed. Natural wood particles and the treated ones in cold or hot water (80 °C) were performed. The effects of the extractives solutions from the treatments applied to the wood particles on wood-gypsum compatibility were studied. For pastes and composites, water-to-gypsum ratio was 0.65. Wood particles-to-gypsum plaster ratios were 5%, 10% and 15%, in mass. Kinetics of temperature, mechanical performance and dynamic elasticity modulus by ultrasound measurements were applied to evaluate the gypsum plaster pastes and its composites behaviors. Results show that the extractive solutions changed the time of gypsum plaster hydration, being more sensitive to hot water treatment. The composites compressive strength increase with the wood particles pretreatment. The best result was to room temperature treatment. The same performance was found to the modulus of elasticity. Treatments have improved significantly the flexural strength. The best wood particle content was 10%. These results show the possibility of using this wood waste with an easy and simple treatment to make eco-efficient building materials.</span>

A compound composed of only c and f contains 17.39 c by mass. what is its empirical formula
Ostrovityanka [42]

Since the Carbon C is 17.39% by mass hence the Fluorine F is 82.61% by mass. Divide each mass % by the respective molar masses, that is:

 

C = 17.39 / 12 = 1.45

F = 82.61 / 19 = 4.35

 

Divide the two by the smaller number, so divide by 1.45

 

C = 1.45 / 1.45 = 1

F = 4.35 / 1.45 = 3

 

So the empirical formula is:
