Answer: (A) The number of waves that pass a point in a certain amount of time.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are categorized according to their frequency f or, equivalently, according to their wavelength λ = c/f. Visible light has a wavelength range from ~400 nm to ~700 nm.

Frequency: Is the number of waves that pass a certain point in a specified amount of time.

Trough: The low point of the wave cycle.

Wavelength: The distance between two successive peaks.

Electromagnetic wave: One of the waves that are propagated by simultaneous periodic variations of electric and magnetic field intensity.

A man pushed a cabinet with a force of 200N. What is the mass of the cabinet that accelerates 4 m/s/s?

ELEN [110]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 50 \ kg}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the mass of a cabinet, given the force and acceleration. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration. The formula for this is:

$F= m \times a$

The force is 200 Newtons, but we should convert the units to make unit cancellation easier. 1 Newton is equal to 1 kilogram meter per second squared, so the force of 200 Newtons is 200 kilogram meters per second squared.

The mass is unknown and the acceleration is 4 meters per second per second or 4 meters per second squared.

F= 200 kg*m/s²
a= 4 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

$200 \ kg *m/s^2 = m \times 4 \ m/s^2$

We are solving for the mass, m, so we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 4 meters per second squared. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4 m/s²

$\frac {200 \ kg *m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2}= \frac{m \times 4\ m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2}$

$\frac {200 \ kg *m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2} =m$

The units of meters per second squared cancel.

$\frac {200 \ kg }{4 }=m$

$50 \ kg =m$

The mass of the cabinet is <u>50 kilograms.</u>

Nio conducts a science experiment. He puts yeast into a bottle with water and sugar, and then caps the bottle with a balloon. He

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When yeast is added into a bottle with water and sugar then after some time yeast becomes activated. This results in the formation of a chemical change as bubbles are formed on the surface of the mixture in the bottle.

This indicates that a gas has been released due to the chemical change.

Thus, we can conclude that most likely a chemical change has occurred because a gas was produced.
