Can a compound be separated by physical means?

No, it is not possible.
A compound is a substance or material constituting of two or more elements that have been chemically combined together to form a new, different substance

Any elements that have been joined together chemically can only be separated back into their constituent elements by chemical means because the bonds holding them together can only be broken using chemical means.

A good example is sodium chloride, table salt. Poisonous chlorine gas and toxic sodium metal react together whereby sodium loses one electron which chlorine readily accepts and in the process an ionic bond is formed between the two resulting in a totally new, harmless compound , sodium chloride.

Only through electrolysis can sodium chloride be separated back into sodium and chlorine gas. No physical means can be used to do that.

a roller coaster moves on a certain section of it's track with an average speed of 13 m/s. how much distance does it cover in 5.

viva [34]

Speed=13m/s
Time=5.8s

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Distance=Speed\times Time$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Distance=13(5.8)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Distance=75.4m$

Two long, parallel wires separated by 3.50 cm carry currents in opposite directions. The current in one wire is 1.55 A, and the

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Therefore,

The magnitude of the force per unit length that one wire exerts on the other is

$\dfrac{F}{l}=2.79\times 10^{-5}\ N/m$

Explanation:

Given:

Two long, parallel wires separated by a distance,

d = 3.50 cm = 0.035 meter

Currents,

$I_{1}=1.55\ A\\I_{2}=3.15\ A$

To Find:

Magnitude of the force per unit length that one wire exerts on the other,

$\dfrac{F}{l}=?$

Solution:

Magnitude of the force per unit length on each of @ parallel wires seperated by the distance d and carrying currents I₁ and I₂ is given by,

$\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_{0}\times I_{1}\times I_{2}}{2\pi\times d}$

where,

$\mu_{0}=permeability\ of\ free\ space =4\pi\times 10^{-7}$

Substituting the values we get

$\dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 1.55\times 3.15}{2\pi\times 0.035}$

$\dfrac{F}{l}=2.79\times 10^{-5}\ N/m$

Therefore,

The magnitude of the force per unit length that one wire exerts on the other is

$\dfrac{F}{l}=2.79\times 10^{-5}\ N/m$
