Explanation:

Physical properties are the properties which can be observed without any change in chemical composition of a substance. For example, color, odor, mass, density etc are all physical properties.

An atom contains protons, neutrons and electrons. The nucleus of atom contains protons and neutrons. The mass of an electron is negligible as compared to protons.

Therefore, mass of an atom is due to the number of protons.

Hence, we can conclude that protons of the atom determines physical properties.

What happens to the object if the line crosses the x-axis from the positive portion of a velocity versus time diagram?

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

A velocity time graph shows the change of velocity of an object with respect ot time. If the slope of the graph is increasing in the postive region, it means that the velocity is changing, if the slope is decreasing, it means the the velocity is decreasing, but the object is moving in the same direction (positve direction).

If this slope intersects the graph at x-axis, it means that the body has 0 velocity and has become still. After that, if the line enters in the negative region, it means that its velocity is started to increases again, but the body is movinging in the opposite direction (negative direction)

How many 1140 nm long molecules would you have to line up end to end to stretch a distance of 158 miles?

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

221754385964.9123

Explanation:

Convert miles to nanometer

1 mile = 1.6 km

1 km = 1×10³×10³×10³×10³ nm

1 mile = 1.6×10¹² nm

So,

158 miles = 158×1.6×10¹² = 252.8×10¹² nm

Length of each molecule = 1140 nm

Number of molecules = Total length / Length of each molecule

$\text{Number of molecules}=\frac{252.8\times 10^{12}}{1140}\\\Rightarrow \text{Number of molecules}=221754385964.9123$

There are 221754385964.9123 number of molecules in a stretch of 158 miles

A dockworker loading crates on a ship finds that a 21-kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 73-N horiz

Nataliya [291]

1) Static friction coefficient: 0.355

The crate is initially at rest. The crate remains at rest until the horizontal pushing force is less than the maximum static frictional force.

The maximum static frictional force is given by

$F_s = \mu_s mg$

where

$\mu_s$ is the static coefficient of friction

m = 21 kg is the mass of the crate

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The horizontal force required to set the crate in motion is 73 N: this means that this is the value of the maximum static frictional force. So we have

$F_s=73 N$
