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.

A 1-kg rock is suspended from the tip of a horizontal meterstick at the 0-cm mark so that the meterstick barely balances like a

tigry1 [53]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass if the rock, m = 1 kg

It is suspended from the tip of a horizontal meter stick at the 0-cm mark so that the meter stick barely balances like a seesaw when its fulcrum is at the 12.5-cm mark.

We need to find the mass of the meter stick. The force acting by the stone is

F = 1 × 9.8 = 9.8 N

Let W be the weight of the meter stick. If the net torque is zero on the stick then the stick does not move and it remains in equilibrium condition. So, taking torque about the pivot.

$9.8\times 12.5=W\times (50-12.5)\\\\W=\dfrac{9.8\times 12.5}{37.5}$

W = 3.266 N

The mass of the meters stick is :

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{3.266}{9.81}\\\\m=0.333\ kg$

So, the mass of the meter stick is 0.333 kg.
