What evidence have you discovered to explain how a wave interacts with matter?

Answer:

Three ways that waves may interact with matter are reflection, refraction, and diffraction. Reflection occurs when waves bounce back from a surface that they cannot pass through. Refraction occurs when waves bend as they enter a new medium at an angle and start traveling at a different speed.

Caffeine (C8H10N4O2) is a stimulant found in coffees and teas. When dissolved in water, it can accept a proton from a water mole

Olenka [21]

Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

If we want to find the acid and the Brønsted-Lowry base, we must remember the definition for each of these molecules:

-) Acid: hydrogen donor

-) Base: hydrogen acceptor

In the caffeine structure, we have several atoms of nitrogen. These nitrogen atoms have the ability to accept hydronium ions ( $H^+$ ). Therefore the caffeine molecule will be the base since it can accept

If caffeine is the base, the water must be the acid. So, the water in this reaction donated a hydronium ion.

Thus, caffeine is the base and water the acid. (See figure 1)

A pycnometer is a precisely weighted vessel that is used for highly accurate density determinations. Suppose that a pycnometer h

dexar [7]

Answer:

5.758 is the density of the metal ingot in grams per cubic centimeter.

Explanation:

1) Mass of pycnometer = M = 27.60 g

Mass of pycnometer with water ,m= 45.65 g

Density of water at 20 °C = d = $998.2 kg/m^3$

1 kg = 1000 g

$1 m^3=10^6 cm^3$

$998.2 kg/m^3=\frac{998.2 \times 1000 g}{10^6 cm^3}=0.9982 g/cm^3$

Mass of water ,m'= m - M = 45.65 g - 27.60 g =18.05 g

Volume of pycnometer = Volume of water present in it = V

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

$V=\frac{m'}{d}=\frac{18.05 g}{0.9982 g/cm^3}=18.08 cm^3$

2) Mass of metal , water and pycnometer = 56.83 g

Mass of metal,M' = 9.5 g

Mass of water when metal and water are together ,m''= 56.83 g - M'- M

56.83 g - 9.5 g - 27.60 g = 19.7 g

Volume of water when metal and water are together = v

$v=\frac{m''}{d}=\frac{19.7 g}{0.9982 g/cm^3}=19.73 cm^3$

Density of metal = d'

Volume of metal = v' = $\frac{M'}{d'}$

Difference in volume will give volume of metal ingot.

v' = v - V

$v'=19.73 cm^3-18.08 cm^3=$

$v'=1.65 cm^3$

Since volume cannot be in negative .

Density of the metal =d'

= $d'=\frac{M'}{v'}=\frac{9.5 g}{1.65 cm^3}=5.758 g/cm^3$

As you were climbing a a mountain, you noticed that rocks were crumbling below your feet and moving down the mountain. What two

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Weathering and erosion

Explanation:

Weathering can be explained as the breaking down of rocks/minerals on the surface of the Earth as a result of contact with biological organism, water, air and other factors

. There are 3 common types of weathering which are;

1) physical weathering

2) biological weathering

3) chemical weathering

Erosion can be regarded as a geological process, whereby earthen material are been transported away by natural forces, these forces could be wind as well as water.

Therefore, as you were climbing a a mountain, you noticed that rocks were crumbling below your feet and moving down the mountain. What is observed are weathering and erosion processes.

After the weakening and broken up of the rock by weathering then erosion transport the bit of the rock down the mountain as you are climbing, which means the "weathering process" breakdown and the "erosion process" involves the transport or movement of the bit of the rocks
