Classify the properties as extensive or intensive: mass density; color volume; total energy; temperature; melting point
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Intensive properties

Density

Color

temperature

Melting point

Extensive properties

Mass

Volume

Total Energy

Explanation:

Intensive properties:  In Physics, Intensive properties which are not depend of the amount of matter in a sample, It only depends of the type of matter, some examples of intensive properties are:

1. Density: It is a intensive property. It can explain better with a example:  the water density is 1000 kg/m3, So if we have 1 liter or 1000 liters of water  the density will be the same for the two samples.

2. Color: Solid sodium chloride is white. If you have 2 samples the first recipient  with 2 kilograms of NaCl and the second with 10 kilograms of NaCl. The color of the substance does not depend on the amount of the substance.

As was mentioned before the same theory is applied to temperature and melting point concepts.

On the other hand,

Extensive properties are properties of the matter which depend on the amount of matter that is present in the system or sample. some examples are:

1. Mass: It is a property that measures the amount of matter that an object contains. For example, 10 kilograms of solid Copper contains a higher mass than 2 kilograms of the same metal.  

2. Volume: It is a property which measures the space occupied by an object or a substance. For example, the space occupied by a glass of milk is lower than the space occupied by a bottle of milk, Then the volume of the glass of milk is lower than the volume of the bottle of milk.

3. Finally the total energy is contained in molecules and atoms that constituted systems  so, if the amount of matter increases the number of molecules too, then the total energy will increase.

I hope it helps you.

A rocket travels at a speed of 14,000 m/s. What is the distance travelled by the rocket in 150s?
kati45 [8]

1) The distance travelled by the rocket can be found by using the basic relationship between speed (v), time (t) and distance (S):

v=\frac{S}{t}

Rearranging the equation, we can write

S=vt

In this problem, v=14000 m/s and t=150 s, so the distance travelled by the rocket is

S=vt=(14000 m/s)(150 s)=2.1 \cdot 10^6 m


2) We can solve the second part of the problem by using the same formula we used previously. This time, t=300 s, so we have:

S=vt=(14000 m/s)(300 s)=4.2 \cdot 10^6 m/s
