Here is the Sample Response:

Maia is not correct because a straight line moving upwards on a position vs time graph has a constant slope, so it represents constant velocity. No change in velocity means no acceleration is taking place.

Let's start by using the definition of acceleration. Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over the change in time. In equation, that would be Δvelocity/Δtime. Based on the axes of the given graph, it shows the trend of position over time. So, the slope of the line and the curve shows the change of position over change of time, Δdistance/Δtime. In physics, this is the definition of speed or velocity. So, Maia is incorrect. Both curves show the speed or velocity of the object, and not acceleration. If the graph used a y-axis of velocity instead of position, then only at that instance, would be Maia be correct.

The difference between the two is, the straight line shows constant velocity while the curve line shows changing velocity.

A student performs an experiment to find the percentage of water in a hydrate. He determines that the hydrate contains 22% water
Stels [109]

Answer:

A feasible error could have been the removal of the sample before all water evaporated.

Explanation:

In order to determine the percentage of water in an hydrate, an experiment that could be performed is the heating of the sample until the mass does not change. If the student heated the sample an insufficient amount of time, water will be present in the sample, thus reducing the percentage reported.

These substances are all ____. H2O2 Li NaCl O2
Bogdan [553]

Answer: pure substances.


Explanation:


The given substances are:

  • H₂O₂
  • Li
  • NaCl
  • O₂

All what surrounds us, which has mass and occupies spaces, is matter. There are two kind of matter: pure substances and mixtures.


Pure substances have a uniform and constant composition. On the other hand, mixtures are combinations of two or more pure substances in  any arbitratry ratio.


Pure substances may be elements or compounds. The elements are the substances conmposed by one only kind of atom. In the list of substances given, Li and O₂ are elements: all the atoms in Li are lithium, and all the atoms in O₂ are oxygen atoms.


Compounds are the chemical combination of two or more different kind of atoms. In the given list H₂O₂ and NaCl are compounds. As you see, H₂O₂ contains atoms of hydrogen and oxygen, chemically bonded, in a fixed ratio (2 atoms of hydrogen by 2 atoms of oxygen). And NaCl has atoms of Na (sodium) and Cl (chlorine), chemicaly bonded, in a fixed ratio (1:1).


There are only 118 known elements and you can find them in any modern periodic table. Therer are virtually infinitely many compounds since many different combinations of the elements can be attained.


Elements and compounds have in common that they are classified as pure substances.
