Which does not describe a physical change happening to water?
VARVARA [1.3K]
On your list you can easily identify by knowing which is not a chemical change.

A physical change is a change not involving the material composition of the water. e.g. (melting, solidifying, evaporation). As long as the change does not change the molecular composition of the water which is H20 it is physical change.

TRUE OR FALSE : Boyle’s law states that, as the pressure of a gas increases, the volume decreases.
sveta [45]

At first glance, this statement seems to be true.  But after about a
microsecond of further consideration, one realizes that the statement
would actually set Boyle spinning in his grave, and is false.

Boyle's law states that there is a firm relationship among the pressure,
temperature, and volume of an ideal gas, and that you can't say anything
about how any two of these quantities depend on each other, unless you
also say what's happening to the third one at the same time.

As the pressure of an ideal gas increases, the volume will decrease in
direct proportion to the volume, IF THE TEMPERATURE OF THE GAS
REMAINS CONSTANT.

If you wanted to, you could increase the pressure AND the volume of an
ideal gas both at the same time.  You would just need to warm it enough
while you squeeze it.

A block, whose mass is 0.500 kg, is attached to a spring with a force constant of 126 N/m. The block rests upon a frictionless,
erastova [34]

Answer:

(a) F = 15.12 N

(b) a = 30.24 m/s²

(c) To Left

Explanation:

(a)

The magnitude of the spring force is given by Hooke's Law as follows:

F = kx

where,

F = Spring Force = ?

k = Spring Constant = 126 N/m

x = Displacement = A = 0.12 m

Therefore,

F = (126 N/m)(0.12 m)

<u>F = 15.12 N</u>

(b)

The magnitude of acceleration can be found by comparing the spring force with the unbalanced force formula of Newton's Second Law:

F = ma

where,

F = Spring Force = 15.12 N

m = mass of block = 0.5 kg

a = magnitude of acceleration = ?

15.12 N = 0.5 kg (a)

a = 15.12 N/0.5 kg

<u>a = 30.24 m/s²</u>

<u></u>

(c)

Since, the acceleration is always directed towards mean (equilibrium) position in periodic motion. Therefore, the direction of the acceleration at the time of release will be <u>to left.</u>

What distance separates Earth and the Sun? A 300,000 km per second B Eight light-minutes C 149 million light-seconds D One light
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

B Eight light-minutes

Explanation:

In the case when the distance separated earth and the sun so here we orbit the sun for a 150 million km distance and the light moves would be 300,000 kilometers per second

Now divide this

= 150 million ÷ 300,000 kilometers per second

= 500 seconds

This 500 seconds represent 8 minutes and 20 seconds

Hence, option B is correct

1) ________ is a force that you can fell with your feet
Kay [80]

Answer:

1. Weight

2. potassium chlorate

3. pushing forward

Explanation:

1. Our full body stands in our feet, so feet takes all the weight of the body. In Newtonian mechanics, weight is a force. Weight is happened with the interaction between the mass and gravitational field. As the gravitational field is a vector, it has directions that are downward. So the interaction between mass and gravitational field works downward. So all the weight is felt by our feet.

2. In a fire stick, potassium chlorate is used. Potassium is known as a flammable chemical. Potassium chlorate is used in the upper part of the fire stick. When potassium chlorate faces frictions, a chemical reaction is happened, which creates great heat. The heat makes extra oxygen and heat, which makes the stick burn and create fire.

3. It is easy to rolling than push forward. If we consider a heavy lawn roller, the weight of the roller works downward. If we push the lawn roller, the force divided into two sub forces. One works downward which increases the weight of the roller and other works forward. But if we roll the lawn roller, the forces divided into two forces: upward and forward. Upward force makes the weight decrease and forward force makes it move forward. As the weight decrease, it becomes easy to roll than push
