You are still breaking it down physically, but you need your stomach acid to break down the food, chemically.

It is both. 

<span>It is a physical change because when you chew your food you break it up into smaller pieces and are therefore changing its size and shape which are physical changes. </span>

<span>However, digestion begins in the mouth. When we chew our food, it mixes with enzymes from our saliva and begins to break down the food. Digestion is a chemical change.</span>

What will the magnitude of the field be if the 10 nc charge is replaced by a 20 nc charge? Assume the system is big enough to co
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Same magnitude of the 10 nc charge cause the electric field is external.

Explanation:

To do a better explanation, let's go and suppose we have an electric field of, 1300 N/C with a 10 nC charge.

As the system we are talking about is really big, and the charge is small, we can assume always if the charge is sitting right in the same point where the electric field is, then, the electric field would not suffer any kind of alteration in it's value. Therefore, no matter what value of the charge is sitting here, the electric field is independent of the charge, so it would not feel any alteration. However, the force that the charge is feeling would be stronger than in the first case.

F = qE

If charge is doubled, then the force would be bigger in the second case than in the first case, but electric field remain the same value.

A car having a total mass of 2250 kg and traveling at 72.0 km/h smashes into a tree. The car is stopped in 0.250 s. The average
musickatia [10]

Answer:

A. 1.8x10⁵

Explanation:

For this question we have

72km/h = speed

Total mass = 2250kg

Stopped at t = 0.2250s

To get average force acting on this car on collision:

72km/3.6 = 20m|s

Impulse = ∆p

This implies:

F∆t = m∆v

F = m∆v/∆t

= 2250x20/0.250

= 180000

= 1.8x10⁵

Therefore option A is correct.

A 200-foot tall monument is located in the distance. From a window in a building, a person determines that the angle of elevatio
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

665 ft

Explanation:

Let d be the distance from the person to the monument. Note that d is perpendicular to the monument and would make 2 triangles with the monuments, 1 up and 1 down.

The side length of the up right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of elevation is 13 degrees is

dtan13^0 = 0.231d

Similarly, the side length of the down right-triangle knowing the other side is d and the angle of depression is 4 degrees

dtan4^0 = 0.07d

Since the 2 sides length above make up the 200 foot monument, their total length is

0.231d + 0.07d = 200

0.301 d = 200

d = 200 / 0.301 = 665 ft
