Answer:

Option A, B, C and D

Explanation:

First to all, we need to remember something. Mercury is the first planet to our solar system, therefore, it's the closest planet to the sun. Because of this, temperatures of that planet are way too high.

Mercury has a very thin atmosphere so it barely exists. It also has a low gravity and receives large gusts of solar winds from the Sun, that's why it has high temperature, and therefore, it's escape velocity is very low too.

Of course, it's one of the smallest planets in our solar system, so,the atmosphere of Mercury is unstable and constantly shifting. As the atmosphere’s materials are being made, they are also being taken away at the uppermost layers due to solar winds. The composition of the atmosphere can also change as you move across the planet.

Identify which one is chemical change, chemical property,physical change and physical property
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Heat conductivity: Physical property

Silver tarnishing: chemical change

Sublimation: physical change

Magnetizing steel: physical property

Length of a metal object: physical property

Shortening melting: physical property

exploding dynamite: chemical change

combustible: chemical property

water freezing: physical change

Acid resistance: chemical property

brittleness: physical property

milk souring: chemical change

baking bread: chemical change

Explanation:

First you need to understand the differences between physical and chemical change; physical and chemical property.

<u>Physical properties vs chemical properties:</u>

Physical properties are properties that you can observe without changing the substance's composition. This means you can measure these properties without changing them chemically.

Chemical properties, on the other hand, are properties are not as direct. These properties are generally determined by the way the react with other substances changing their composition.

<u>Physical changes vs chemical changes:</u>

A substance that undergoes physical change does not change in chemical composition. They may look physically different in terms of size and shape, but overall, their chemical composition remains constant. The best example would be water. Water can change phases, from solid to liquid when they melt. Essentially, they look like different substances, but the change is only physical and not chemical.

Chemical change, is different by the fact that they change in chemical composition. Bonds are broken and/or made through the reaction, which changes them not only physically but chemically as well. Some of the most indicative signs of a chemical change occurring are: change in color, odor, production of gas, production of light/heat.

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind.
RideAnS [48]

a)If it takes the bird 18.0 minutes to fly 6 km away from the earth, the wind's speed will be 4 m/s.

b) The bird would need 7 minutes and 42 seconds to fly back 6 kilometers if he turned around and flew with the wind.

c)Compared to the 133.33 seconds it would take without the wind, the overall round-trip time is affected by the wind.

<h3>What is velocity?</h3>

The change of distance with respect to time is defined as speed. Speed is a scalar quantity. It is a time-based component. Its unit is m/sec.

The given data in the problem is

A seagull flies at a velocity,\rm v_{SA}  = 9 \ m/sec

The time the bird takes,t=18.0 min

The distance traveled relative to the earth = 6.00 km

a)

The seagull's relative velocity with reference to the ground as;

\rm v_{sg} = \frac{6.00 \times 10^3 \ m }{(20 min) \times \frac{60 s }{1 \ min}} \\\\ v_{sg}= 5.00 \ m/sec

Air velocity with reference to the ground is;

\rm v_{AG}= v_{SG}-v_{SA} \\\\ v_{AG} = 5.00 \ m/sec - 9.00 \ m/sec \\\\ v_{AG} = -4.00 \ m/sec

b)

If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, The time will he take to return 6.00 km is;

\rm v_{SG}=v_{SA}+v_{AG} \\\\ v_{SG}=-900 \ m/sec +(-4.00 \ m/sec) \\\\ v_{SG}= -13.00 \ m/sec

The time the bird takes;

\rm t = \frac{x_{SG}}{v_{SG}} \\\\ t = \frac{6.00 \times 10^3 \ m }{13.00 \ m/sec } \\\\ t = 462 m/sec \\\\ t = 7  \ min \  and  \ 42  \ sec

c)\

The total round-trip time compared to what it would be with no wind. is;

\rm  t = 20 \ min( \frac{60 \ sec }{1 \ min} )+ 462 \ sec \\\\ t = 1200 \ sec +6 462 \ ec \\\\ t= 1662 \ sec

The time for the round trip is;

\rm  t = \frac{12 \times 10^ 3 }{ 9 \ m/sec }  \\\\ t  = 1333.33 \ sec

Hence the wind's speed, the time bird would need to fly back the total round-trip time will be  4 m/s, 7 minutes and 42 seconds and 1333.33 sec.

Un objeto se mueve con una rapidez constante de 8 m/s. Esto significa que el objeto: a) Aumenta su rapidez en 8m/s cada segundo
Hatshy [7]

Explanation:

Constant speed means that the object is covering equal distance in equal interval of time. The motion is called uniform motion for such case. In this problem, it is given that an object is moving with a constant speed of 8 m/s. It means that it does not change its speed. It is moving with a single speed constantly.

We can say that it moves 8 meters every second or 800 cm every second.
