Which of the following statements are incorrect? a) The state of matter for an object that has a definite volume but not a defin
hoa [83]

Answer:

a), b), d), and e) are correct.

Explanation:

c) is incorrect because an object that has a definite shape cannot be in a gaseous state as gaseous objects take the shape of their container.

a) is correct because objects that are liquid have definite volumes but no definite shapes as they take the shape of their containers,

b) is correct as this is the definition of an object which is in a solid state.

d) is correct as this is the definition of an object which is in a gaseous state.

e) is correct as rigidness, the quality of having a definite shape is only exhibited by objects that are in solid state.

When starting a foot race, a 64 kilogram sprinter exerts an average force of 693 newtons backward on the ground for 0.59 seconds
cluponka [151]

The distance traveled by the sprinter in meters is determined as 1.88 m.

<h3>Acceleration of the sprinter</h3>

The acceleration of the sprinter is the rate of change of velocity of the sprinter with time.

The acceleration of the sprinter is calculated as follows;

Apply Newton's second law of motion as follows;

F = ma

a = F/m

where;

  • F is the applied force by the sprinter
  • m is mass of the sprinter
  • a is acceleration of the sprinter

a = 693 N / 64 kg

a = 10.83 m/s²

<h3>Distance traveled by the sprinter</h3>

The distance traveled by the sprinter is calculated as follows;

s = ut + ¹/₂at²

where;

  • u is initial velocity = 0

s = ¹/₂at²

where;

  • t is time of motion
  • a is acceleration

s = (0.5)(10.83)(0.59²)

s = 1.88 m

Thus, the distance traveled by the sprinter in meters is determined as 1.88 m.

Two pith balls hang side by side close to each other without touching as shown in the figure below. They are both neutral to beg
Mila [183]

a)

When a plastic rod is rubbed with wool, charging by friction occurs.

This is one of the three mechanisms of charging an object: in this particular case, as the rod is rubbed with the wool, electrons jump from the wool to the rod.

As a result, the plastic rod will remain with an excess of electrons (negative charge), while the wool will remain with a lack of electrons (positive charge).

However, the number of electrons gained by the rod is equal to the number of electrons given off by the wool: therefore, the total net charge of the system rod + cloth has not changed.

b)

When the rod touches sphere A, some electrons are transferred from the rod to the sphere (this method of charging is called charging by conduction).

Then, the sphere A will also remain negatively charged, as well as the plastic rod.

Later, the rod is brought close to sphere A without touching it: here, the electrons in the rod repel the electrons in the sphere (like charges repel each other), so the rod and the sphere will repel each other.

c)

Before part b), the negative charge on the plastic rod was equal to the positive charge on the wool.

After part b), the plastic rod has given off part of its electrons to sphere A. As a result, the negative charge on the plastic rod will be now less than the positive charge on the wool.

Therefore, the net charge of the rod + wool system will now be positive.

d)

The electrostatic force between two charged object is:

- Attractive if the charges on the objects have opposite sign

- Repulsive if the charges on the objects have same sign

Since sphere A is charged negatively, when it is brought close to sphere B, the electrons in sphere B will be attracted on the opposite side relative to sphere A, while the positive charges will migrate close to sphere A. Therefore, the two spheres will attract each other, since opposite charges attract each other.

e)

When the plastic rod (which is negatively charged) touches sphere B, some electrons are transferred to sphere B (charging by induction). As a result, charge B will also be negatively charged now, as it has an excess of electrons.

At the same time, sphere A is also negatively charged. Therefore, as like charges repel each other, this means that the two spheres will now repel each other.

f)

The net charge of the rod and the two spheres is negative.

In fact, the electrons given off by the rod to the two spheres were initially on the rod itself: this means that the total net charge of the rod + 2 spheres is equal to the net charge on the rod before the process.

Since the net charge on the rod before the process was negative, then the net charge of the system consisting of the rod + 2 spheres must be negative as well.

g)

When a glass rod is rubbed with silk, charging by friction occurs, similar to part a). However in this case, the glass rod gives off electrons to the silk: therefore, the glass rod remains positively charged.

Later, the glass rod touches sphere B: as a result, positive charge is transferred from the rod to sphere B, so sphere B will remain positively charged.

In the meantime, sphere A is negatively charged: since opposite charges attract each other, this means that now sphere A and sphere B will attract each other.

h)

When the two spheres are moved a bit further apart, the attractive force between them decreases a bit. In fact, the electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the  charges on the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

As we can see, the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: therefore, if the separation between the spheres increases, the force will decrease.

Which is a true statement regarding the law of mass balance? A.Solids, gases, and liquids have their own specific equations for
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

b. when the body converts a nutrient  to another substance, there  is no effect on mass balance.

Explanation:

The law of mass balance states that the mass stays the same in any chemical reaction, that is the reason why a nutrient in human body transforms to another substance like another substance, into muscles (that has mass), a body fluid ( that has mass) or another substance, but the total mass will keep the same, just in a different shape, nature or state.
