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.

A 4kg book sits on a table and your pet hamster puts his front paws on the book and pushes down with a force of 3N. What is the
Natali [406]
There are three forces acting on the book. 
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces

Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).

∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N

Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.

When would a scientist accept the alternative
vredina [299]

Answer:

B.) if statistical results are significant

Explanation:

If a scientist accepts the null hypothesis, then there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.

This means that the p-value is less than the significance level.

When the scientist accepts the alternative hypothesis, it means the statistical results are significant.

The correct answer is B.
