Is an imaginary "line" from the earth to the moon a line, a ray, or a segment? Why?
igomit [66]

Answer;

Explanation;

"from earth to moon" implies endpoints at both locations and it is thus a line segment

A line extends forever in both directions, a line segment is just part of a line. It has two endpoints, and a ray starts at one point and continues on forever in one direction.

Indicate the result of each of the following unit vector cross products (unit vector hat-symbols not shown): . kxi = . jxi= -jxk
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cross product of two vectors is given by

\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B}=\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |Sin\theta \widehat{n}

Where, θ be the angle between the two vectors and \widehat{n} be the unit vector along the direction of cross product of two vectors.

Here, K x i = - j

As K is the unit vector along Z axis, i is the unit vector along X axis and j be the unit vector along  axis.

The direction of cross product of two vectors is given by the right hand palm rule.

So, k x i = j

j x i = - k

- j x k = - i

i x i = 0

If a substance is found to be reactive flammable soluble and explosive what observation is also a physical property
Ainat [17]

Answer:

  • <u><em>soluble</em></u>

Explanation:

Chemical properties only manifest when a chemical reaction occurs. Being reactive, flammable and explosive are chemical properties, because they involve chemical reactions: the substances are changed; the chemical bonds of some substances, called reactants, are broken, and the chemical bonds are created, forming other substances, called products.

Solubility is a<em> physical property</em> because during dissolution no new substances are formed. You can prove it when the solvent evaporates leaving behind the same original substance.

The the observation that the substance is <em>soluble</em> is describing a <em>physical property.</em>
