Answer:

Oxygen is an element that can be a solid, liquid or gas depending on its temperature and pressure. In the atmosphere it is found as a gas, more specifically, a diatomic gas. This means that two oxygen atoms are connected together in a covalent double bond.

What would happen if both the radius and mass of a planet were cut in half

Shtirlitz [24]

Explanation:

According to formula

g = GM/R^2

when mass is halved the value of g becomes half but when radius is halved the value of g increases 4 times.

As a result of both value of g becomes twice.

Define pressure snd state its SI units to

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Pressure (P) is the amount of force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area. The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa), which is equivalent to N/ $m^{2}$ (newtons per meter squared).

A 35 g steel ball is held by a ceiling-mounted electromagnet 4.0 m above the floor. A compressed-air cannon sits on the floor, 4

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

7.9 m/s

Explanation:

When both balls collide, they have spent the same time for their motions.

Motion of steel ball

This is purely under gravity. It is vertical.

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Distance, s = 4.0 m - 1.2 m = 2.8 m

Acceleration, a = g

Using the equation of motion

$s = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$2.8 \text{ m} = 0+\dfrac{gt^2}{2}$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{5.6}{g}}$

Motion of plastic ball

This has two components: a vertical and a horizontal.

The vertical motion is under gravity.

Considering the vertical motion,

Initial velocity, u = ?

Distance, s = 1.2 m

Acceleration, a = -g (It is going up)

Using the equation of motion

$s = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$1.2\text{ m} = ut-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Substituting the value of t from the previous equation,

$1.2\text{ m} = u\sqrt{\dfrac{5.6}{g}}-\dfrac{1}{2}\times g\times\dfrac{5.6}{g}$

$u\sqrt{\dfrac{5.6}{g}} = 4.0$

Taking g = 9.8 m/s²,

$u = \dfrac{4.0}{0.756} = 5.29 \text{ m/s}$

This is the vertical component of the initial velocity

Considering the horizontal motion which is not accelerated,

horizontal component of the initial velocity is horizontal distance ÷ time.

$u_h = \dfrac{4.4\text{ m}}{0.756\text{ s}} = 5.82\text{ m/s}$

The initial velocity is

$v_i = \sqrt{u^2+u_h^2} = \sqrt{(5.29\text{ m/s})^2+(5.82\text{ m/s})^2} = 7.9 \text{ m/s}$

What is a sign of genetic mutation

ad-work [718]

A sign of genetic mutation is a missing finger or an extra limb of some sort. Also people who study the human genome can trace gene pairs that are not complete or mixed up which can cause genetic mutations.
