Answer:
The chemist is incorrect because a catalyst increases the rate of reaction only.
Explanation:
A catalyst is a substance in the presence of which the speed of the reaction increases. It plays no role in the chemical change taking place.
Thus, if the two compounds are not chemically reacting, a catalyst wont make it happen either.
A chemical reaction occurs when atoms tend to lose or gain electrons. A catalyst has no role to play in this process.
Answer:
F = I L X B = I L B sin theta
F = 5.2 * 1.2 * .87 sin 45 = 3.84 N in the direction of (L X B)
Note: L and B must be at right angles for F = I L B
Answer:
C. The number of protons.
Explanation:
All atoms of mercury will remain the same while different isotopes may have different number of neutrons.
For example, mercury has 80 protons, correlating with its atomic number. However, the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons could vary between each atom. If there are 80 protons, then there has to be 80 electrons. This means that the protons have to be the same in order to apply to all atoms of mercury
A < B < C
C will increase faster than B which is faster than A
Answer:
<em>The object could fall from six times the original height and still be safe</em>
Explanation:
<u>Free Falling</u>
When an object is released from rest in free air (no friction), the motion is completely dependant on the acceleration of gravity g.
If we drop an object of mass m near the Earth surface from a height h, it has initial mechanical energy of

When the object strikes the ground, all the mechanical energy (only potential energy) becomes into kinetic energy

Where v is the speed just before hitting the ground
If we know the speed v is safe for the integrity of the object, then we can know the height it was dropped from

Solving for h

If the drop had occurred in the Moon, then

Where hM, vM and gM are the corresponding parameters on the Moon. We know v is the safe hitting speed and the gravitational acceleration on the Moon is g_M=1/6 g


This means the object could fall from six times the original height and still be safe
