Substances that prevent or reduce the rate of a chemical reaction are called as inhibitors.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Inhibitors are those substances that either prevent or reduce the rate of a chemical reaction. Ex: Acetanilide slows down the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide solution.

Inhibitors even reduce the effectiveness of catalysts without hindering their composition. There are primarily two kinds of inhibitors- reversible and irreversible. Where, reversible inhibitors slows the rate of any reaction, irreversible inhibitors completely prevents the unwanted reactions.

Where catalysts are used to increase the rate of a reaction, inhibitors stand as a wall for the unwanted reactions to occur. For example, in case of silver tarnishing, to prevent silver jewellery being tarnished, a thin layer of rhodium is applied on it which works like an inhibitor for formation reaction of silver sulphides (the tarnish).

How does adding more of a substance affect it's density?

fomenos

I’m going to use molasses as an example of a substance.

The mass and volume both change when changing the amount of molasses.
However, the density does not change. This is because the mass and volume increase at the same rate/proportion!

Even though there is more molasses (mass) in test tube A, the molasses also takes up more space (volume). Therefore, the spacing between those tiny particles that make up the molasses is constant (does not change).

The size or amount of a material/substance does not affect its density.

A 48.0-kg skater is standing at rest in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocit

Kipish [7]

Answer:

F = 47.6 N

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd law can be expressed as the rate of change of the total momentum, respect of time, as follows:

$F = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$

So, in order to find the average force exerted by the skater on the wall, we can find the change in momentum due to the force exerted by the wall (which is equal and opposite to the one exerted by the skater), and divide it by the time interval , as follows:

$F_{wall} = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{(48.0 kg*(-1.06m/s)}{1.07s} = -47.6 N$

⇒ Fsk = 47.6 N (normal to the wall)

You want to move a 4- kg bookcase to a different place in the living room. If u push with a force of 65 n and the bookcase accel

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1.65

Explanation:

The equation of the forces along the horizontal direction is:

$F-F_f = ma$ (1)

where

F = 65 N is the force applied with the push

$F_f$ is the frictional force

m = 4 kg is the mass

$a=0.12 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

The force of friction can be written as $F_f = \mu R$ (2), where

$\mu$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

R is the normal force exerted by the floor

The equation of forces along the vertical direction is

$R-mg=0$ (3)

since the bookcase is in equilibrium. Substituting (2) and (3) into (1), we find

$F-\mu mg = ma$

And solving for $\mu$ ,

$\mu = \frac{F-ma}{mg}=\frac{65-(4)(0.12)}{4(9.8)}=1.65$

20 Accelerated motion is represented by a<br> line on a nonlinear distance time graph.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Curved line

Explanation:

Acceleration of motion is represented by a curved line on a non-linear distance-time graph.

The acceleration of a non-linear motion is depicted using a parabola which is a curve. This implies that the velocity is constantly changing and the distance covered by the body is also changing with equal amount of time.

A plot of this will give a parabola. This can be further established using one of the equations of motion below:

x = u + $\frac{1}{2}$ at ²

This is a quadratic function where:

x is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is acceleration

A quadratic function gives a curved line which is a parabola.

Answer:

B. They each contain the same amount of matter.

Explanation:

Scientifically, mass is the amount of matter in an object.

A. Whether an object is big or small does not mean that it will be a certain mass. If you have two objects that are the same size, the denser object will have more mass, and the less dense object will have less mass.

C. The amount of space an object takes up is called the volume.

D. Different combinations and amounts of elements can give you the same mass. Rocks, books and cans of soda are made of different things.
