A small pebble and a large boulder start at the same height and begin rolling down the side of a mountain.Which object would hav

Answer:

The large boulder

Explanation:

An object’s kinetic energy depends on:

● the object’s mass and

● the object’s speed

Let us remember that the magnitude of acceleration due to gravity on the both objects is exactly the same.

However, the mass of the objects are different. Mass is a measure of the inertia (resistance to motion) of a body. The greater the mass, the greater the inertial. The boulder has a greater mass and hence a greater inertia (more resistance to motion).

Therefore, the boulder will have less kinetic energy

Which energy source produces carbon dioxide?
HACTEHA [7]
The answer is d. natural gas. All the other choices are alternative sources of energy, and do not produce or emit any greenhouse gas such as carbon dioxide (CO2). Natural gas, on the other hand, is an organic substance containing a significant amount of carbon, that when burned for fuel, results in the emission of CO2.

An air sample consists of oxygen and nitrogen gas as major components. It also contains carbon dioxide and traces of some rare g
jekas [21]

Explanation:

A mixture is defined as the substance that contains two or more different number of substances that are physically mixed together.

For example, a mixture of air which contains oxygen, nitrogen and other gases.

A mixture in which solute particles are unevenly distributed into the solvent then it is known as a heterogeneous mixture.

For example, sand in water is a heterogeneous mixture.

A homogeneous mixture is defined as the mixture in which solute particles are evenly distributed in a solvent.

A homogeneous mixture is a clear solution.

For example, salt dissolved in water is a homogeneous mixture.

A solution is defined as the substance in which two or more substances are mixed together.

A compound is defined as the substance that contains two or more different elements that chemically combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

A element is defined as the substance that contains only one type of atoms.

For example, a piece of sodium element will contain only atoms of sodium.

Whereas a pure substance is defined as the substance which contains only one type of molecule or one type of atom.

For example, O_{2}, N_{2} etc are pure substances.

Thus, we can conclude that the terms which could be used to describe the given sample of air is as follows.

  • pure chemical substance.
  • heterogenous mixture.
  • mixture.
