Ket [755]

Answer:

D) Roger is incorrect. Only a chemical change is taking place as evidenced by the light and heat of the burning candles.

Explanation:

- A physical change is a change in which there is no formation of new substances. Examples of physical changes are the melting or the evaporation of a substance (all phase transitions are examples of physical changes): in such cases, there is no formation of new substances.

- A chemical change is a change in which new substances form. Examples of chemical changes are the chemical reactions: for instance, when a candle burns, a reaction is taken place (oxygen is burnt, transforming into carbon dioxide + heat + light, so this is an example of chemical change).

Therefore, the correct answer is

D) Roger is incorrect. Only a chemical change is taking place as evidenced by the light and heat of the burning candles.

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

9.60 m/s

Explanation:

The escape speed of an object from the surface of a planet/asteroid is given by:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet/asteroid

R is the radius of the planet/asteroid

In this problem we have

\rho = 2.02\cdot 10^6 g/m^3 is the density of the asteroid

V=3.09\cdot 10^{12}m^3 is the volume

So the mass of the asteroid is

M=\rho V=(2.02\cdot 10^6 g/m^3)(3.09\cdot 10^{12} m^3)=6.24\cdot 10^{18} g=6.24\cdot 10^{15} kg

The asteroid is approximately spherical, so its volume can be written as

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3

where R is the radius. Solving for R,

R=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi}}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3(3.09\cdot 10^{12} m^3)}{4\pi}}=9036 m

Substituting M and R inside the formula of the escape speed, we find:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(6.24\cdot 10^{15})}{(9036)}}=9.60 m/s

Consider two diffraction gratings with the same slit separation. The only difference between the two gratings is that one gratin
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

True The grid with more slits gives more angle separation increases

True. The grating with 10 slits produces better-defined (narrower) peaks

Explanation:

Such a system can be seen as a diffraction network in this case with different number of lines per unit length, the expression for the constructive interference of a diffraction network is

      d sin θ = m λ

where d is the distance between slits or lines, m the order of diffraction and λ the wavelength.

For network with 5 slits

      d = 1/5 = 0.2

For the network with 10 slits

      d = 1/10 = 0.1

let's calculate the separation (teat) for each one

      θ = sin⁻¹ (m λ / d)

for 5 slits

     θ₅ = sin⁻¹ (m λ 5)

for 10 slits

     θ₁₀ = sin⁻¹ (m λ 10)

we can appreciate that for more slits the angle increases

the intensity of a series of slits is

       I = I₀ sin²2 (N d/2) / sin² d/2)

when there are more slits (N) the peaks have greater intensity and are more acute (half width decreases)

let's analyze the claims

False

True The grid with more slits gives more angle separation increases

False

True The expression for the intensity of the diffraction peaks the intensity of the peaks increases with the number of slits as well as their spectral width decreases

False
