Physics
1 answer:
Anuta_ua [19.1K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1.An element consists of the same kind of atoms while a compound is composed of different kinds of atoms.

2.A monoatomic element cannot be split up physically or chemically but a compound can be split up into new substances by chemical means.

3.Only limited number of elements are known in an element whiles number of known compounds are quite large.

4.The property of an element is the property of the atom whiles the property of a compound is quite different from that of it's constituents.

5 . Elements are represented by symbols and numbers.for example Sodium is represented by Na whiles compounds are represented by their chemical formula.for example,Salt is represented by the formula NaCl.

Where is parallel circuits used?
suter [353]

Answer:

if one bulb burns out, the other bulbs in the fixture continue to operate. Other uses include an electronic OR gate, where two switches are in a parallel circuit: one of the switches must be closed for the circuit to function.

Calculate the broadcast wavelength of the radio station 99.90 fm. seconds
taurus [48]

The radio waves are electromagnetic wave, so it travels with velocity of light i.e 3\times 10^{8} \ m/s.

We can use the relation between frequency, wavelength and speed as

\lambda =\frac{c}{f}

Here c is speed of light, \lambda is wavelength and f is frequency and its value is given 99.90 FM, it is actually in megahertz  (i.e 99.90 MHz).

Therefore,

\lambda =\frac{3 \times 10^{8}\ m/s }{99.90 \times 10^{6} \ Hz} = 3.003 \ m.

Thus, the broadcast wavelength of the given radio station is 3.003 m.

What is the equation for the potential energy stored in a spring when it is stretched or compressed?
gregori [183]

Answer:

if you stretch a spring with k = 2, with a force of 4N, the extension will be 2m. the work done by us here is 4x2=8J. in other words, the energy transferred to the spring is 8J. but, the stored energy in the spring equals 1/2x2x2^2=4J (which is half of the work done by us in stretching it).

The velocity of an object is the _____ of the object
katovenus [111]
D. Speed and direction, this is because velocity is a vector quantity so has a magnitude and direction assigned to it because it is the rate of change of displacement.

What is the definition of work when net force is parallel to the distance?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector.  The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are.  It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes.  If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity.  So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:
W=Fd
