Answer:

Aloe vera is a succulent plant species ( with fleshy water storing tissue) belonging to the genus Aloe.

It is used in many products ( including beverages, cosmetic products as gel, medicinal ointments). Its juice is quite bitter in taste. It is known to be the best skin moisturizer and can be used for healing wounds by enhancing the renewal of damaged cells. It is also used as an anticarcinogen, thus reduces the chances of cancer.

Thus, the given hypothesis can be classified as falsifiable ( which is proven wrong) or non-falsifiable ( which is proven right) in the following way-

Falsifiable-

Aloe vera juice tastes better than carrot juice.

Non Falsifiable-

Aloe vera gel is the best natural skin moisturizer.

Aloe vera gel can heal wounds by boosting cell renewal.

Drinking aloe juice can reduce the risk of lung cancer.

The graph below shows the speed of a car as it drives along a racetrack.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Average speed = distance/time

From 1 to 9 seconds:

Distance covered = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8 km

Time = 9 - 1 = 8 sec

Average speed = 0.8 km / 8 sec

Average speed = 0.1 km/s .

The average speed for the whole test is 1.6 km / 20 sec = 0.08 km/sec. A graph of speed vs time would average out as a horizontal line at 0.08 km/sec from 1 sec to 21 sec. The area under it would be (0.08 km/s) x (20 sec) = 1.6 km.

Surprise surprise ! The area under a speed/time graph is the distance covered during that time !

In closing, I want to express my gratitude for the gracious bounty of 3 points with which I have been showered. Moreover, the green breadcrust and tepid cloudy water have also been refreshing.

On a winter day with a temperature of -10°C, 500g of snow (water ice) is brought inside where the temperature is 18 °C. The snow

Serjik [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of ice m = 500g = .5 kg

Heat required to raise the temperature of ice by 10 degree

= mass of ice x specific heat of ice x change in temperature

= .5 x 2093 x 10 J

10465 J

Heat required to melt the ice

= mass of ice x latent heat

0.5 x 334 x 10³ J

167000 J

Heat required to raise its temperature to 18 degree

= mass x specific heat of water x rise in temperature

= .5 x 4182 x 18

=37638 J

Total heat

=10465 +167000+ 37638

=215103 J

The particle, initially at rest, is acted upon only by the electric force and moves from point a to point b along the x axis, in

bezimeni [28]

1) Potential difference: 1 V

2) $V_b-V_a = -1 V$

Explanation:

When a charge moves in an electric field, its electric potential energy is entirely converted into kinetic energy; this change in electric potential energy is given by

$\Delta U=q\Delta V$

where

q is the charge's magnitude

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference between the initial and final position

In this problem, we have:

$q=4.80\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the magnitude of the charge

$\Delta U = 4.80\cdot 10^{-19}J$ is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

Therefore, the potential difference (in magnitude) is

$\Delta V=\frac{\Delta U}{q}=\frac{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}=1 V$

Here we have to evaluate the direction of motion of the particle.

We have the following informations:

- The electric potential increases in the +x direction

- The particle is positively charged and moves from point a to b

Since the particle is positively charged, it means that it is moving from higher potential to lower potential (because a positive charge follows the direction of the electric field, so it moves away from the source of the field)

This means that the final position b of the charge is at lower potential than the initial position a; therefore, the potential difference must be negative:

$V_b-V_a = - 1V$

IM SOO CONFUSED PLS HELP!! The mass of the nucleus is approximately EQUAL to the mass number multiplied by ____ Atomic Mass unit

nevsk [136]

Answer:

option a.

Explanation:

We can think of an atom as a nucleus (where the protons and neutrons are) and some electrons orbiting it.

We also know that the mass of an electron is a lot smaller than the mass of a proton or the mass of an electron.

So, if all the protons and electrons of an atom are in the nucleus, we know that most of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus of that atom.

Then we define the mass number, which is the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Such that the mass of a proton (or a neutron) is almost equal to 1u

Then if we define A as the total number of protons and neutrons, and each one of these weights about 1u

(where u = atomic mass unit)

Then the weight of the nucleus is about A times 1u, or:

A*1u = A atomic mass units.

Then the correct option is:

The mass of the nucleus is approximately EQUAL to the mass number multiplied by __1__ Atomic Mass unit.

option a.
