Answer:

Time = 16.667 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 50 meters

Velocity = 3 m/s

To find the time it will take;

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = distance/time

Making time the subject of formula, we have;

Time = distance/velocity

Time = 50/3

Time = 16.667 seconds

When sodium reacts with chlorine, sodium chloride is produced. Andrew represented this reaction with this equation:
kvv77 [185]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B) Not Balanced

B) Sodium

B) Not Equal

The equation is <em><u>not balanced</u></em> because the number of <em><u>sodium atoms</u></em> is <em><u>not equal</u></em> on both sides of the arrow.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants should always be the same as the mass of the products in a chemical equation.</u></em> Therefore, the number of atoms of each element in a chemical equation should always be the same on both sides of the equation, that is the side of reactants and side of products.
  • Therefore,<u><em>any chemical equation requires balancing to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is equal in both sides of the equation</em></u>. Balancing is a try and error process that ensures that the law of conservation of mass holds.
  • Thus, the balanced chemical equation is;

2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl

Light and sound waves both share what characteristic?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:<u><em> (Light and sound both require a medium in which to travel)</em></u>

Explanation: <em>Sound and light always have the means to travel and get somewhere as fast as possible. Light is always faster than sound but it does not matter because they both almost always get where they want.</em>

<em>Part 2.   light was composed of particles or waves, a wave-particle dual nature soon was found to be characteristic of electrons as well. The evidence for the description of light as waves was well established at the turn of the century when the photoelectric effect introduced firm evidence of a particle nature as well. basically when light hits a metal object . :)</em>

What three forces contribute to the rise of water in a capillary tube?
Leviafan [203]
These three forces are cohesive force, adhesive force and surface tension. The cohesive and adhesive forces are opposite of each other. While cohesive force is the intermolecular bonding between like molecules, the adhesive force is the intermolecular force between unlike molecules. Surface tension is perceived to be the force exerted by the liquid near the surface of the water. Together, these forces bring about an increase in liquid height when a very small tube is placed on a wide surface liquid.

9. When considering a magnet's force of attraction over a known distance, you would expect the strength of attraction 4 inches a
slavikrds [6]

Answer: B. 16 times

Explanation:

The mathematic expression for a magnetic force F_{M} between two magnets is:

F_{M}=K_{M}\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}   (1)

Where:

K_{M} is a constant

{m_{1} and {m_{2} are the magnetic charges, which depends on the size of each magnet

r is the distance beteween both magnets

As we can see, this force in inversely proportional to the square of the distance. This means that if we increase the distance, the magnetic force will decrease.

Now, if we increase this value by 4 inches from 1 inch:

F_{M}=K_{M}\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{{(4)}^{2}}   (2)

F_{M}=K_{M}\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{16}   (3)

This means the strength of attraction will be 16 times weaker.
