How physical properties are important for identifying unknown substances

Physics
1 answer:
dmitriy555 [2]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Every characteristic property is unique to one given substance. Scientists use characteristic properties to identify an unknown substance. Characteristic properties are used because the sample size and the shape of the substance does not matter.

Explanation:

A characteristic property is a chemical or physical property that helps identify and classify substances. The characteristic properties of a substance are always the same whether the sample being observed is large or small. Examples of characteristic properties include freezing/melting point, boiling/condensing point, density, viscosity and solubility.

Water flows straight down from an open faucet. The cross-sectional area of the faucet is 2.4 × 10-4m2 and the speed of the water
Ksenya-84 [330]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the continuity equations in the fluid and the kinematic equation for the description of the displacement, velocity and acceleration.

By definition the movement of the Fluid under the terms of Speed, acceleration and displacement is,

v_2^2 = v_1^2 + 2gh

Where,

V_i = Velocity in each state

g= Gravity

h = Height

Our values are given as,

A_1 = 2.4*10^{-4} m^2

v_1 = 0.8 m/s

h = 0.11m

Replacing at the kinetic equation to find V_2 we have,

v_2 = \sqrt{v_1^2 + 2gh}

v_2 = \sqrt{(0.8 m/s)^2 + 2(9.80 m/s2)(0.11 m)}

v_2= 1.67 m/s

Applying the concepts of continuity,

A_1v_1 = A_2v_2

We need to find A_2 then,

A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}

So the cross sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is

A_2= \frac{A_1v_1 }{v_2}

A_2= \frac{(2.4*10^{-4})(0.8)}{(1.67)}

A_2= 1.14*10^{-4} m2

Therefore the cross-sectional area of the water stream at a point 0.11 m below the faucet is 1.14*10^{-4} m2

Greg throws a 2.8-kg pumpkin horizontally off the top of the school roof in order to hit Mr. H's car. The car has parked a dista
Igoryamba

Answer:

The horizontal velocity is v = 9.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the pumpkin is  m = 2.8 \ kg

      The distance of the the car from the building's base is  d = 13.4 \ m

       The height of the roof is h = 10.4 \ m

       

The height is mathematically represented as

         h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity which has a value of g =9.8 \ m/s^2

substituting values

          10.4= 0.5 * 9.8 * t

making the time taken the subject of the formula

         t = \frac{10.4}{0.5 * 9.8 }

          t = 1.457 \ s

The speed at which the pumpkin move horizontally can be represented mathematically  as

                         v = \frac{d}{t}

substituting values

                     v =\frac{13.4}{1.457}

                     v = 9.2 m/s

compare and contrast the medical understanding of death (that you have read about and learned about in this chapter) and the pop
mixer [17]

The medical understanding of death is related to the scientific approach, and the popular understanding is related to the inclusive spiritual and cultural approaches.

<h3 /><h3>What is death for science?</h3>

Death occurs when an individual's cardiorespiratory and brain functions cease due to some factor, thus ending his life.

Popular understanding, on the other hand, is aligned with scientific knowledge, but it is also encompassing cultural and religious teachings, which define topics not proven by science, such as life after death for example.

Therefore, death is a delicate topic for society, and spirituality is the basis found for greater emotional comfort in individuals who suffer significant losses of loved ones.
