12.<br> An object with a mass of 3 kg has a momentum of 75 kg•m/s. What is the velocity?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

the velocity is 25 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity is shown below:

As we know that

Magnitude of Momentum = (mass) × (speed)

75 kg. m/s = 3 kg × speed

So, the speed is

= 75 ÷ 3

= 25 m/s

hence, the velocity is 25 m/s

Human blood consists of blood groups A, B, and O. However, there is one more blood group, AB, which contains alleles A and B in
algol13
It is codominant inheritance because, if the placement of the A and B molecules on each cell is controlled by the proteins that are coded by different versions of the same gene, then <span>IA and IB </span><span>are codominant but both are dominant to I<span>o</span>. If a person receives an <span>IA </span>allele and a <span>IB</span> allele, their blood type is type AB, in which characteristics of both A and B antigens are expressed.

A. Explain, in terms of particles, why NaCl(s) does not conduct electricity.
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Ionic bonds hold charged particles in solid NaCl together, such that they are unable to move or conduct electricity.

Explanation:

Consider an electric current that flows through a conductor: charge moves in a uniform direction from one end of the conductor towards the other.

Thus, there are two conditions for a substance to conduct electricity:

  • The substance shall contain charged particles, and
  • These charged particles shall be free to move across the substance.

A conductor of electricity shall meet both requirements.

Now, consider the structure of solid NaCl \rm NaCl\;(s). NaCl is an ionic compound. It contains an ocean of oppositely charged ions:

  • Positive \rm Na^{+} ions, and
  • Negative \rm Cl^{-} ions.

Ions carry charge. Thus, solid NaCl contains charged particles and satisfies the first condition.

Inside solid NaCl \rm NaCl\;(s), electrostatic attractions ("ionic bonds") between the oppositely charged ions hold these ions in rigid ionic lattices. These ions are unable to move relative to each other. As a result, they cannot flow through the solid to conduct electricity. Under solid state, NaCl is unable to satisfy the second condition.

As a side note, melting NaCl into a liquid breaks the ionic bonds and free the ions from the lattice. Liquid NaCl is a conductor of electricity.
