Answer:

a) Acidity

The pH scale is a mixture of indicator which on dissolving indicate whether the substances is acidic in nature or basic .

The value between 1 to 7 is acidic

The value between 7 to 14 is basic

The value 7 is neutral

Acids are sour in taste and turn blue litmus ( indicator) to red

Base are bitter in taste and turn red litmus to blue.

Salts are neutral and obtain by the reaction between acid and bases.

Calculate the acceleration of a 1000 kg car if the motor provides a small thrust of 1000 N and the static and dynamic friction c

grin007 [14]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Force applied by the motor, $F_A=1000\ N$

The static and dynamic friction coefficient is, $\mu=0.5$

Let a is the acceleration of the car. Since, the car is in motion, the coefficient of sliding friction can be used. At equilibrium,

$F_A-\mu mg=ma$

$\dfrac{F_A-\mu mg}{m}=a$

$a=\dfrac{1000-0.5(1000)(9.81)}{1000}$

$a=-3.905\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is $-3.905\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

notka56 [123]

Explanation:

A metal such as copper is a conductor because it provides a pathway for electric charges to move easily. A material such as rubber is an insulator because it resists the flow of electric charges. A material that partially conducts electric current is a semiconductor. These materials include group 3 and group 5 elements.

Choose the correct statement concerning units of power or energy. a. A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power. b. A gigawatt (GW) is

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power.

Explanation:

The power of an object is given by :

$P=\dfrac{E}{t}$

Here,

E is the energy required

t is time

The SI unit of power is Watts and the SI unit of energy is Joule. the commercial unit of energy is kilowatt per hour.

Option (1) : A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power is incorrect.

Option (2) : A gigawatt (GW) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (3) : A watt (W) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt x hour per year (kWh/yr) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power is correct.

Hence, the correct option is (d).

What do we call changes between solid liquid and gaseous forms of a substance

const2013 [10]

We call changes between solid liquid and gaseous forms of a substance as phase change or change of state.

Explanation:

To change a substance from one state to another, extreme temperatures or pressures are required. Sometimes when a substance doesn't change states we should use all the ideas when that happens. To create a solid, we should decrease the temperature by a huge amount and then add pressure. For example, oxygen will solidify at -361.8 degrees Fahrenheit at standard pressure. However, it will freeze at warmer temperatures when the pressure is increased.

Phase changes happen when a substance reach some special points. Sometimes when a liquid becomes a solid a freezing point or melting point is used to measure the temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid. Some of the phase changes are: Condensation, Freezing, Melting.

1. What is work done in holding a 15kg suitcase while waiting for a bus for 15 minutes?

Tems11 [23]

Work is (force applied) x (distance through which the force moves).

Since the suitcase doesn't move up or down during the 15 minutes,
no work is done ... zero, zip, nada ... according to the real Physics
definition of 'work'.
