A compound is a substance that consists of two or more elements, which is chemically combined, meaning that it could only be split by chemical means.
Examples:-
- NaCl is salt, chemically combined of Sodium and Chloride.
- H2O is water, chemically combined of Hydrogen and oxygen.
Answer:
1. 0.45 s.
2. 4.41 m/s
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Height (h) = 1 m
Time (t) =?
Velocity (v) =?
1. Determination of the time taken for the pencil to hit the floor.
Height (h) = 1 m
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) =?
h = ½gt²
1 = ½ × 9.8 × t²
1 = 4.9 × t²
Divide both side by 4.8
t² = 1/4.9
Take the square root of both side
t = √(1/4.9)
t = 0.45 s.
Thus, it will take 0.45 s for the pencil to hit the floor.
2. Determination of the velocity with which the pencil hit the floor.
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Time (t) = 0.45 s.
Final velocity (v) =?
v = u + gt
v = 0 + (9.8 × 0.45)
v = 0 + 4.41
v = 4.41 m/s
Thus, the pencil hit the floor with a velocity of 4.41 m/s
Answer: Examples of conductors include metals, aqueous solutions of salts (i.e., ionic compounds dissolved in water), graphite, and the human body. Examples of insulators include plastics, Styrofoam, paper, rubber, glass and dry air.
