How are the components of a heterogeneous mixture distributed?

Lena [83]

Answer:

heterogeneous mixture has components that are not evenly distributed. This means that you can easily distinguish between the different components.

A starship blasts past the earth at 2.0*10^8 m/s .Just after passing the earth, the starship fires a laser beam out its back of

Vilka [71]

Answer:

at the speed of light ( $c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ )

Explanation:

The second postulate of the theory of the special relativity from Einstein states that:

"The speed of light in free space has the same value c in all inertial frames of reference, where $c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ "

This means that it doesn't matter if the observer is moving or not relative to the source of ligth: he will always observe light moving at the same speed, c.

In this problem, we have a starship emitting a laser beam (which is an electromagnetic wave, so it travels at the speed of light). The startship is moving relative to the Earth with a speed of 2.0*10^8 m/s: however, this is irrelevant for the exercise, because according to the postulate we mentioned above, an observer on Earth will observe the laser beam approaching Earth with a speed of $c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ .

A body of volume 2000 cm3 has a mass 4 kg. Find the density of the body. Will the body sink or float in water, if the density of

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

$2 g/cm^3$ , it will sink

Explanation:

The density of an object is given by

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

where

m is the mass of the object

V is its volume

For the body in the problem, we have

m = 4 kg = 4000 g

$V=2000 cm^3$

Therefore, its density is

$d=\frac{4000}{2000}=2 g/cm^3$

And the object will sink in water, because its density is larger than that of water, which is $1 g/cm^3$ . (an object sinks when its density is larger than that of water, otherwise it floats).

What is the temperature of a sample of gas when the average translational kinetic energy of a molecule in the sample is 8.37 × 1

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

404K

Explanation:

Data given, Kinetic Energy.K.E=8.37*10^-21J

Note: as the temperature of a is increase, the rate of random movement will increase, hence leading to more collision per unit time. Hence we can say that the relationship between the kinetic energy and the temperature is a direct variation.

This relationship can be expressed as

$K.E=\frac{3}{2}KT$

where K is a constant of value 1.38*10^-23

Hence if we substitute the values, we arrive at

$T=\frac{2/3(8.37*10^{-21})}{1.38*10^-23}\\ T=404K$

converting to degree we have $131^{0}C$
