Identify which one is chemical change, chemical property,physical change and physical property
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Heat conductivity: Physical property

Silver tarnishing: chemical change

Sublimation: physical change

Magnetizing steel: physical property

Length of a metal object: physical property

Shortening melting: physical property

exploding dynamite: chemical change

combustible: chemical property

water freezing: physical change

Acid resistance: chemical property

brittleness: physical property

milk souring: chemical change

baking bread: chemical change

Explanation:

First you need to understand the differences between physical and chemical change; physical and chemical property.

<u>Physical properties vs chemical properties:</u>

Physical properties are properties that you can observe without changing the substance's composition. This means you can measure these properties without changing them chemically.

Chemical properties, on the other hand, are properties are not as direct. These properties are generally determined by the way the react with other substances changing their composition.

<u>Physical changes vs chemical changes:</u>

A substance that undergoes physical change does not change in chemical composition. They may look physically different in terms of size and shape, but overall, their chemical composition remains constant. The best example would be water. Water can change phases, from solid to liquid when they melt. Essentially, they look like different substances, but the change is only physical and not chemical.

Chemical change, is different by the fact that they change in chemical composition. Bonds are broken and/or made through the reaction, which changes them not only physically but chemically as well. Some of the most indicative signs of a chemical change occurring are: change in color, odor, production of gas, production of light/heat.

In a particular experiment to study the photoelectric effect, the frequency of the incident light and the temperature of the met
mixer [17]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the ejected electrons increases.

Explanation:

As we know that electrons are only ejected from a metal surface if the frequency of the incident light increases the work function of the metal. If the frequency of the incident light is less than the work function of the metal no matter how intense the beam the electrons will not be ejected from the surface.

Using conservation of energy principle we have

E_{incident}=h\nu +\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

If we increase the intensity  of incident light the term on the LHS of the above equation increases this increase appears in the kinetic energy term in RHS of the equation since h\times \nu remains constant.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

v \approx 9.312\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The Free Body Diagram of the system is presented in the image attached below. The final speed is determined by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation and the Work-Energy Theorem:

K_{A} + U_{g,A} = K_{B} + U_{g,B} + W_{loss}

K_{B} = K_{A} + U_{g,A}-U_{g,B} - W_{loss}

\frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2} = m\cdot g \cdot s\cdot \sin \theta - \mu_{k}\cdot m \cdot g \cdot s \cos \theta

\frac{1}{2}\cdot v^{2} = g\cdot s \cdot (\sin \theta - \mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta)

v = \sqrt{2\cdot g \cdot s \cdot (\sin \theta - \mu_{k}\cdot \cos \theta)}

v = \sqrt{2\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (10\,m)\cdot (\sin 37^{\textdegree} - 0.2\cdot \cos 37^{\textdegree})}

v \approx 9.312\,\frac{m}{s}
