Classify each process according to whether it does or does not produce a new substance.
AlexFokin [52]

The processes under chemical change are: cooking an egg, fireworks exploding, and rusting of a metal tool.

The processes under physical change are: melting ice, evaporating puddle of water, and dissolving of salt in water.

Given:

The following process:

  1. cooking an egg
  2. melting ice
  3. fireworks exploding
  4. evaporating puddle of water
  5. rusting of a metal tool
  6. Dissolving of salt in water

To find:

The classify the processes in whether it does or does not produce a new substance.

Solution:

  • Chemical change is the change when a new substance is formed due to a change in the chemical composition of the substance.
  • Physical change is the change in which no change in chemical composition takes place and the identity of the substance remains the same.
  • Cooking an egg

Chemical change, due to change in atomic arrangement egg get solidified on cooking, a new substance is formed.

  • Melting ice

Physical change, change in the state of matter is taking from solid to liquid, no new substance is formed.

  • Firework exploding

Chemical change. formation of carbon dioxide gas and sound energy, anew substance formed

  • Evaporating puddle of water

Physical change, change in the state of matter is taking from liquid to gas, no new substance is formed.

  • Rusting of metal tool

Chemical change, formation of oxides on the surface of the metal tool due to reaction between air and metal, a new substance is formed.

  • Dissolving of salt in water

Physical change, ions of salt in the solid state are changing into aqueous ions with no formation of new substance, no new substance is formed.

The processes under chemical change are: cooking an egg, fireworks exploding, and rusting of a metal tool.

The processes under physical change are: melting ice, evaporating puddle of water, and dissolving of salt in water.

Astronomers have observed a small, massive object at the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. A ring of material orbits this massive
Setler [38]

Answer:

The mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is 3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 10 light year

Orbital speed = 180 km/s

Suppose determine the mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

Take the distance of one light year to be 9.461×10¹⁵ m. I was able to get this it is 4.26×10³⁷ kg.

We need to calculate the radius of the orbit

Using formula of radius

r=\dfrac{d}{2}

r=\dfrac{15\times9.461\times10^{15}}{2}

r=7.09\times10^{16}\ m

We need to calculate the mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy

Using formula of mass

M=\dfrac{v^2r}{G}

Put the value into the formula

M=\dfrac{(180\times10^3)^2\times7.09\times10^{16}}{6.67\times10^{-11}}

M=3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg

Hence, The mass of the massive object at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is 3.44\times10^{37}\ Kg

What is the ACCELERATION of a 50 kg object pushed with a force of 500 newtons *
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>10 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

To find the acceleration of an object given the force and mass we use the formula

<h3>acceleration =  \frac{force}{mass}</h3>

From the question

mass of object = 50 kg

force = 500 N

So the acceleration is

<h3>acceleration =  \frac{500}{50}  \\  =  \frac{50}{5}</h3>

We have the final answer as

<h3>10 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
