<em>Ten games</em> will be played.

The first team can be any one of 5 .  For each of those, the opponent can be any one of the other 4 .

Number of ways to pair them up = (5 x 4) = 20 ways .

<em>BUT</em> ... Whether the Reds play the Blues, or the Blues play the Reds, it's the SAME GAME.  Each possible game shows up twice in the list of 20 ways.  So there are really only 10 different pairs ==> <em>10 games</em> .

Asteroid A has 3.5 times the mass and 2.0 times the velocity of Asteroid B. If
kaheart [24]

Answer:

   K_A = 32.2 10⁶ J

Explanation:

In this exercise we must relate the quantities given to find the kinetic energy

   

Asteroid A data

              m_A = 3.5 m_B

               v_A = 2.0 v

they also give the value of the kinetic energy of asteroid A

              K_B = 2.3 10⁶ J

the expression for scientific energy is

               K = ½ m v²

let's replace

              K_A = ½ m_a V_a2

               K_A = ½ 3.5 m_B (2.0 v_B)^2

                K_A = 3.5 2² (½ m_B v_B²)

                K_A = 14 K_B

                   

               K_A = 32.2 10⁶ J

How does an acid–base indicator react when placed in an acidic solution?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
It depends on the indicator, and the pH range over which it will experience a colour change. Some indicators will change colour<span> in an acidic solution, others will not. For example, blue litmus paper will turn red in an acidic solution, but red litmus paper will not change colour. The test would be inconclusive with red litmus paper, since it does not change colour in an acid and in a neutral solution.</span>
