The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A bottle of rubbing alcohol having aqueous solution of alcohol contains 70% (v/v) alcohol. If Carl buys a 946 ml bottle of rubbing alcohol, how much of the aqueous solution is water?

Answer: The amount of water present in the given bottle of rubbing alcohol is 283.8 mL

Explanation:

We are given:

Volume of bottle of rubbing alcohol = 946 mL

70% (v/v) alcohol solution

This means that 70 mL of rubbing alcohol is present in 100 mL of solution

Amount of water present in solution = [100 - 70] = 30 mL

Applying unitary method:

In 100 mL of solution, the amount of water present is 30 mL

So, in 946 mL of solution, the amount of water present will be = $\frac{30}{100}\times 946=283.8mL$

Hence, the amount of water present in the given bottle of rubbing alcohol is 283.8 mL

Which could describe the motion of an object? Select 3 correct answers. distance = 10 meters and displacement = 1 meter distance

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The three correct statements which could describe the motion of an object are:

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 1 meter

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 0

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 10 meters

Explanation:

Motion is the change of position of an object along any path. As such, the path can be rectilinear or along a curve whose direction is variable.

Two important characteristics used to describe a motion are the length of the path traveled and the final distance from the starting point.

The length of the path traveled is what distance describes. The final distance from the starting point to the final point is what displacement describes.

The maginitude of the displacement is the difference between the final position and the starting position.

When the path traveled is rectilinear, the distance and the magnitude of the displacement are the same.

When the path is not rectilinear, the distance (the length of the path) is always greater than the magnitude of the displacement.

Thus, as for the correct statements, you have:

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 1 meter

This means that the object traveled along a 10 meters path, but since it was not rectilinear, the difference between the final position and the starting position is just 1 meter.

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 0

This means that the object traveled 10 meters but it ended back in the very same place from which it departed (a complete turn around a table, for example).

distance = 10 meters and displacement = 10 meters

This means that the travel was in the trip was alogn a straight line, and the object traveled 10 meters and ended 10 meters away from the starting place.

As for the two incorrect statements:
