Answer: Thomas is wrong because acceleration is the name we give to any process where the velocity changes. Since velocity is a speed and direction, there are only two ways for you to accelerate: change your speed or change your direction or both.

Explanation:

Thomas is incorrect because acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.

A student carefully pipets 10.00ml of ethanol into a beaker. If ethanol has a density of 0.779g/ml, how many grams of ethanol we

lesantik [10]

Answer: 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of ethanol, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of ethanol = 0.779 g/mL

Volume of water = 10.00 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.779g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{10.00mL}\\\\\text{Mass of ethanol}=(0.779g/mL\times 10.00mL)=7.79g$

Thus 7.79 grams of ethanol were put into the beaker.

Based on the information I would assume B, 73 degrees...

It shouldn't be A, 4 minutes on the burner should increase the temperature.

If it were D, it would be beyond boiling, and water takes a decent amount of energy to heat, D should be all vapor.

Same logic for C, it's basically almost boiling.

I would say 73 degrees seems most reasonable for 4 minutes.
