You don't have to go far to find such a mixture . . . you're breathing it !

Earth's atmosphere is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and
several other gases.  Except for carbon-dioxide and water vapor,
the others are all elements, not compounds.

<span>Yes, a mixture could be made up of only elements and no compounds, given that the elements never undergo a chemical interaction and stay only in physical contact with each other.</span>

What is the definition of matter
xeze [42]
The definition of matter is physical substance in general, as distinct from mind and spirit that which occupies space and possesses rest mass, especially as distinct from energy, which basically means that matter makes up the whole Earth and everything on it. <span />

If half of the weight of a flatbed truck is supported by its two drive wheels, what is the maximum acceleration it can achieve o
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Maximum acceleration will be equal to 3.43m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.7

And coefficient of static friction \mu _s=1

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

When truck moves maximum force will be equal to F=\mu _kmg

It is given that half of the weight is supported by its drive wheels

So force required =\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}

From newtons law maximum acceleration will be equal to a=\frac{\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}}{m}=\frac{\mu _kg}{2}=\frac{0.7\times 9.8}{2}=3.43m/sec^2

At locations A and B, the electric potential has the values VA = 1.83 V and VB = 5.17 V, respectively. A proton released from re
densk [106]

Answer:

a. It starts at point B.

vp = 2.53*10⁴ m/s

a. it starts at point A.

ve= 1.08*10⁶ m/s

Explanation:

a)  As the proton is a positive charge, when released from rest, it will be accelerated due to the potential difference, from the higher potential to the lower one, so it is at the point B when released.

Once released, as the total energy must be conserved, the increase in kinetic energy must be equal (in magnitude) to the change in the electric potential energy, as follows:

ΔK + ΔUe = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔUe =- (e*ΔV)

⇒ -( e* (VA-VB) ) = \frac{1}{2}*mp*v^{2}

where e= elementary charge= 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C,  VA = 1.83 V, VB= 5.17V, and mp= mass of proton = 1.67*10⁻²⁷ kg.

Replacing by these values, and solving for v, we have:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2*1.6e-19C*3.34 V}{1.67e-27kg} } = 2.53e4 m/s

⇒ vp = 2.53*10⁴ m/s

b) If, instead of a proton, the charge realeased from rest, had been an electron, a few things would change:

First, as the electrons carry negative charges, they move from the lower potentials to the higher ones, which means that it would have started at point A.

Second, as its charge is (-e) the change in electric potential energy had been negative also:

ΔUe = -e*ΔV = -e* (VB-VA)

In order to find the speed of the electron when it is just passing point B, we can apply the conservation of energy principle as for the proton, as follows:

-( (-e)* (VB-VA) ) = \frac{1}{2}*me*v^{2}

where e= elementary charge= 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C,  VA = 1.83 V, VB= 5.17V, and me= mass of electron = 9.1*10⁻³¹ kg.

Replacing by these values, and solving for v, we have:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2*1.6e-19C*3.34 V}{9.1e-31kg} } = 1.08e6 m/s

⇒ ve = 1.08*10⁶ m/s

Given the height of rod,length of shadow of tree and length of shadow of the rod, estimate the height of the tree? Given:height
diamong [38]

Answer:

1000 cm.

Explanation:

To obtain the estimated tree height :

(Height of rod / length of rod shadow) = (height of tree / length of tree shadow)

Substituting values into the formula :

(150cm / 120 cm) = (height of tree / 800 cm)

Using cross multiplication :

Height of tree * 120 = 150 * 800

Height of tree = (150 * 800) / 120

Height of tree = 120,000 / 120

Height of tree = 1000

Hence, estimate height of tree = 1000 cm

The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days). Determine the average angular velocity (in
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Given that

The earth spins on its axis once a day and orbits the sun once a year (365 1/4 days)

a)

When earth spins on its axis

We know that earth take 1 day to complete one revolution around its own axis.

T= 1 day = 24 hr = 24 x 3600 s

T=86400 s

We know that

T=2π/ω

ω= 2π/T

ω= 2π/86400

ω=7.27 x 10⁻5 rad/s

b)

When earth revolve around earth

T =365 1/4 days = 365.25 days

T= 365.24 x 86400 s

T=31557600

We know that

T=2π/ω

ω= 2π/T

ω= 2π/31557600

ω=1.99 x 10⁻⁷ rad/s
