Breaking down sugar (glucose) is a chemical change. Sugar is a compound that can be broken down.

In your body, "break down sugar" doesn't mean grind up the crystals
into powder, and if it did, you couldn't do it with oxygen, you'd need
a hammer or a grinder.

"Break down sugar" means take a molecule of sucrose or lactose or fructose,
use oxygen to rip it apart, and then put the pieces back together as a molecule
of glucose.

It should be pretty obvious that this is a chemical change.

Ferdinand the frog is hopping from lily pad to lily pad in search of a good fly

loris [4]

Answer: $36.86\°$

Explanation:

According to the described situation we have the following data:

Horizontal distance between lily pads: $d=2.4 m$

Ferdinand's initial velocity: $V_{o}=5 m/s$

Time it takes a jump: $t=0.6 s$

We need to find the angle $\theta$ at which Ferdinand jumps.

In order to do this, we first have to find the <u>horizontal component (or x-component)</u> of this initial velocity. Since we are dealing with parabolic movement, where velocity has x-component and y-component, and in this case we will choose the x-component to find the angle:

$V_{x}=\frac{d}{t}$ (1)

$V_{x}=\frac{2.4 m}{0.6 s}$ (2)

$V_{x}=4 m/s$ (3)

On the other hand, the x-component of the velocity is expressed as:

$V_{x}=V_{o}cos\theta$ (4)

Substituting (3) in (4):

$4 m/s=5 m/s cos\theta$ (5)

Clearing $\theta$ :

$\theta=cos^{-1} (\frac{4 m/s}{5 m/s})$

$\theta=36.86\°$ This is the angle at which Ferdinand the frog jumps between lily pads

An experiment is performed to test the effect of three different types of water on the growth of a plant. The test is done by us

natima [27]

I think the correct answer would be D. The tap water in the experiment is one the three test conditions of the independent variable, the type of water. The independent variable in a experiment is the one being manipulated or the one being changed. In this case, it is the type of water.

Why does changing the shape of an object have no effect on the density?

iren [92.7K]

Because the object is still made of the same material
Density is not affected by the weight and shape of an object its affected by how concentrated the atoms are in a given volume

12. The answer would be C. 1.50 s. This is because if you divide 60 by 40, you will get 1.5.

13. For this one I'm not sure, but what I can tell you is that the heavier something is the faster it will sink, the lighter it is, it will float.
