Answer:

C) steel turning to rust in salt air

Explanation:

The missing options are:

A) ice melting to form liquid water

B) water boiling to form steam

C) steel turning to rust in salt air

D) sugar dissolving into hot coffee

In a chemical change the atoms of the reacting compounds are reordered forming new compounds. In a chemical change, new compounds appear, but in a physical change not.

Then, change of states like ice melting and water boiling are not chemical changes.

During steel rust, components of steel, like iron, are oxidized, that is, reacts with oxygen forming oxides.

The dissolution of sugar into hot coffee is a physical change in which sugar molecules get further apart in the coffee, but they don't change.

Forces present on a flying dove

storchak [24]

Answer:

There are four forces acting on a bird in flight, lift, thrust, drag and gravity (weight). These four forces act in pairs, as shown on the right. If a bird is to fly it must overcome drag and weight by generating a greater force of thrust and lift.

What is the S.I. unit of drift velocity and electron mobility?

DanielleElmas [232]

Drift velocity is equal to displacement of the moving object per unit time. The SI unit for displacement is meters while that of time is second. Hence the derived SI unit of velocity is meter per second. This also applies to electron mobility which relates to the displacement per unit time of a moving electron

Two objects, Object A and Object B, need to be identified. Object A's index of refraction is determined to be 1.77, and Object B

Slav-nsk [51]

The correct answer is

C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.

In fact, the index of refraction of a material is defined as:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in the material. Rearranging the equation, we can write the speed of light in the material as:

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

So we that, the smaller the refractive index n, the greater the speed of light in the material, v. In this problem, object B has lower refractive index than object A, so light travels faster in object B.
