I think this answer Yes, salt is the crystal we use to season our food. But in chemistry, salt is a term used to describe a compound made by joining a positively charged acid with a negatively charged base. Table salt is the compound sodium chloride. It's composed of a positively charged sodium atom and a negatively charged chloride atom.

At high speeds, a particular automobile is capable of an acceleration of about 0.540 m/s^2. At this rate, how long (in seconds)

Mama L [17]

Answer:

t = 6.68 seconds

Explanation:

The acceleration of the automobile, $a=0.54\ m/s^2$

Initial speed of the automobile, u = 91 km/hr = 25.27 m/s

Final speed of the automobile, v = 104 km/hr = 28.88 m/s

Let t is the time taken to accelerate from u to v. It can be calculated as the following formula as :

$t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}$

$t=\dfrac{28.88-25.27}{0.54}$

t = 6.68 seconds

So, the time taken by the automobile to accelerate from u to v is 6.68 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

A football is thrown due north across a 40 meter river and it takes 2 seconds to cover that distance.

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

I. Speed = 20m/s

II. Velocity = 20m/s due North.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 40m

Time = 2secs

To find the speed;

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

$Speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Speed = \frac{40}{2}$

Speed = 20m/s.

In physics, we use the same formula for calculating speed and velocity. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and as such has magnitude but no direction while velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

$Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}$

Therefore, the velocity is 20m/s due North.

Kaylis [27]

You are given a QL = -26 μC charge that is placed on the x-axis at x = - 0.2 m and a QR = 26 μC charge that is placed at x = +0.2 m. The answers are:

The x-component of the electric field at x = 0 m and y = 0.2 m is 3.
The y-component of the electric field at x = 0 m and y = 0.2 m is 2.

Which is not a step of the scientific method?

Dahasolnce [82]

The six steps of the scientific are:
1. State the question
2. Conduct research
3. Create a hypothesis
4. Perform the experiment
5. Analyze the data
6. Conclusion

So D. would be the correct answer, even though communicating the results could possibly be a step if it's required.
