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.

A cannon, located 60.0 m from the base of a vertical 25.0-m-tall cliff, shoots a 15-kg shell at 43.0o above the horizontal towar
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a)   v₀ = 32.64 m / s , b)  x = 59.68 m

Explanation:

a) This is a projectile launching exercise, we the distance and height of the cliff

         x = v₀ₓ t

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

We look for the components of speed with trigonometry

         sin 43 = v_{oy} / v₀

         cos 43 = v₀ₓ / v₀

         v_{oy} = v₀ sin 43

         v₀ₓ = v₀ cos 43

Let's look for time in the first equation and substitute in the second

         t = x / v₀ cos 43

         y = v₀ sin 43 (x / v₀ cos 43) - ½ g (x / v₀ cos 43)²

          y = x tan 43 - ½ g x² / v₀² cos² 43

          1 / v₀² = (x tan 43 - y) 2 cos² 43 / g x²

           v₀² = g x² / [(x tan 43 –y) 2 cos² 43]

Let's calculate

          v₀² = 9.8 60 2 / [(60 tan 43 - 25) 2 cos 43]

          v₀ = √ (35280 / 33.11)

          v₀ = 32.64 m / s

.b) we use the vertical distance equation with the speed found

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

         .y = v₀ sin43 t - ½ g t²

        25 = 32.64 sin 43 t - ½ 9.8 t²

        4.9 t² - 22.26 t + 25 = 0

         t² - 4.54 t + 5.10 = 0

We solve the second degree equation

         t = (4.54 ±√(4.54 2 - 4 5.1)) / 2

         t = (4.54 ± 0.46) / 2

         t₁ = 2.50 s

         t₂ = 2.04 s

The shortest time is when the cliff passes and the longest when it reaches the floor, with this time we look for the horizontal distance traveled

         x = v₀ₓ t

         x = v₀ cos 43 t

         x = 32.64 cos 43  2.50

         x = 59.68 m

Applying newton's version of kepler's third law (or the orbital velocity law) to the a star orbiting 40,000 light-years from the
Ugo [173]

Applying Newtons version of Kepler's third law or the orbital velocity law to the star orbiting 40000 light years from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy allows us to determine the mass of the Milky Way Galaxy that lies within 40000 light years in the galactic center.

<h3></h3><h3>What is orbital velocity law?</h3>

The orbital velocity law states that, the orbital velocity is directly proportional to the mass of the body for which it is being calculated and inversely proportional to the radius of the body. Earths orbital velocity near its surface is around 8km/sec if the air resistance is disregarded.

In space exploration, orbital velocity is a crucial topic. Space authorities heavily rely on it to comprehend how to launch satellites. It aids scientists in figuring out the velocities at which satellites must orbit a planet or other celestial body to prevent collapsing into it. The speed at which one body orbits the other body is known as the orbital velocity. The term "orbit" refers to an object's consistent circular motion around the Earth. The distance between the object and the earth's centre determines the orbit's velocity.

: The maximum theoretical efficiency of a Carnot engine operating between reservoirs at the steam point and at room temperature
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The value is   \eta  =  0.2145  or  21.45%

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The first reservoir is at steam point  T_s =  100^o C =  100 + 273 = 373 \ K  

    The  second reservoir is at room temperature T_r  =  20^o C = 293 \ K

Generally the  maximum theoretical efficiency of a Carnot engine  is mathematically evaluated as

     \eta  =  1- \frac{T_r}{T_s}

=>    1 - \frac{ 293}{373}

=>    \eta  =  0.2145
