Answer: describing how copper changes color in chlorine.

Explanation:

Quantitative observation is one which involves measurement of data in numbers.

Qualitative observation is one which can be observed with our senses such as sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing. Qualitative observations do not involve any measurement.

Measuring the speed is a quantitative observation as it deals with numbers.

Describing how copper changes color in chlorine does not involve any numerical measurement hence a qualitative observation.

Recording how long it takes to burn magnesium is measuring time which is recorded in numbers and is a quantitative observation.

Showing the results of an experiment with a graph is data representation in numbers and is a quantitative observation.

A woman drives 6 miles, accelerating uniformly from rest to 70 mph. How long does it take for her to reach 70 mph?

Morgarella [4.7K]

Using the two kinematic equations that can be used for this problem are:
Vf = Vi + at and d=Vit +(1/2)*at^2
Since Vi (initial velocity) = 0

The equations can further be simplified where a is the acceleration, t is the time, Vf is the final velocity which is 70 miles per hour and d is 6 miles

Vf = at
70 = at
a = 70/t---equation 1

d=(1/2)*a*(t^2)
6 = (1/2)*a*(t^2) ---equation 2

Substituting equation 1 to equation 2.
6= (1/2)*(70/t)*(t^2)
6= 35t
t= 0.17142 hours or 10.28571 mins or 617.14 sec

Why is magnetic force a non contact force?

lianna [129]

Bcoz when you place a magnet close enough the magnet attracts or repals without any other fore we dont touch the magnet so it is non contact

An engine manufacturer makes the claim that the engine they have developed will, on each cycle, take 100J of heat out of boiling

Alborosie

Answer:

Explanation:

Intake heat, QH = 100 J

output heat, Qc = 20 J

Work, W = 80 J

TH = 100°C = 373 K

Tc = 10°C = 283 K

TH/ Tc = 373 / 283 = 1.318

QH/Qc = 100 / 20 = 5

for a heat engine, those ratios should be same. so temperature is not correct.
