What is Electromagnetic Energy ?

Electromagnetic energy consists of waves of the electromagnetic field, propagating through space, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy.

It includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. All of these waves form part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

A unification criterion holds that a theory is empirically successful, and thus confirmed, to the ex- tent that it predicts or explains a large number of empirical results by ap- pealing to only a relatively small number of basic principles.

Theerfore, The statement which best describes how scientists arrived at the current understanding of electromagnetic energy is (C)  Scientists debated the theories with each other and compared the theories with scientific observations. hence option (C) is correct.

The diagram below shows what happens to an atom of uranium-235 when bombarded by a neutron. Which isotope is represented by X in the diagram?

Answers

Answer:

X represents barium - 141 nucleus.

Written as: (141, 56) Ba

Explanation:

In nuclear fission reaction, due to the fact that the process produces more neutrons, a nuclear chain reaction can possibly occurr. Now, a chain reaction is a one whereby the material that begins the reaction will also be one of the products and it can start another reaction.

Now, for the nuclear chain reaction for the fission of uranium-235, its nucleus absorbs a neutron after which it splits into a krypton - 92 nucleus and a barium - 141 nucleus. Thereafter it releases three more neutrons.

Thus, X is the image represents barium - 141 nucleus.

1. What is volume displacement? Why would you use this method?

2. What is density? What happens to things that are denser? What happens if they are less dense?

Answers

Answer:

1. The volume of displaced fluid is equivalent to the volume of an object fully immersed in a fluid or to that fraction of the volume below the surface of an object partially submerged in a liquid. The weight of the displaced portion of the fluid is equivalent to the magnitude of the buoyant force.

Why would you use this method?

So it can be used to accurately measure the volume of the human body and other oddly shaped objects by measuring the volume of fluid displaced when the object is submerged.

2. Density, mass of a unit volume of a material substance. The formula for density is d = M/V, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume. Density is commonly expressed in units of grams per cubic centimetre.

What happens to things that are denser?

Students should realize that if an object weighs more than an equal volume of water, it is more dense and will sink, and if it weighs less than an equal volume of water, it is less dense and will float.

What happens if they are less dense?

The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

Which is a Chemical Property of copper? reacts in air to form a green layer is a lustrous brown color is a solid at room temperature has a boiling point of 2567 degrees

Answers

Answer:

reacts in air to form a green layer

Explanation:

Properties of substances can be physical or chemical. A physical property is that which does not affect the chemical composition of the substance(s) involved e.g melting point, boiling point, color, state of matter as depicted for copper (Cu) in this question.

On the other hand, chemical property of a substance are those properties that alters or affects the chemical composition of the substance. In other words, they are features that can be observed after the substance has undergone a chemical reaction. In this question, COPPER REACTING IN AIR TO FORM A GREEN LAYER IS A TYPE OF CHEMICAL PROPERTY because a chemical reaction has occured with the evidence of the green layer formation.

Isopentyl acetate is the molecule largely responsible for the aroma and taste of bananas. It is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion of a 3.256-g sample of isopentyl acetate produces 7.706 g CO2 and 3.156 g H2O. Using these results, what is the correct empirical formula for isopentyl acetate?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

7.706 g of CO₂ will contain 12 x 7.706 / 44 g of C

= 2.1 g of C .

This will be contained in 3.256 g of isopentyl acetate

3.156 g of H₂O will contain 2 x 3.156 / 18 g of H

= .351 g of H

This will be contained in 3.256 g of isopentyl acetate

Rest will be oxygen

amount of oxygen in 3.256 g of isopentyl acetate

= 3.256 - ( 2.1 + .351 )

= .805 g

ratio of C , H , O in isopentyl acetate

= 2.1 g : .351 g : .805 g

2.1 / 12 : .351 / 1 : 0.805 / 16 ratio of moles

= .175 : .351 : .05  ratio of moles

= 3.5 : 7.02: 1

= 7 : 14 : 2

Answers

The words that complete the blanks are;

1) transverse waves

2) the ground

3) medium

What is a wave?

We know that a wave is simply the kind of disturbance that moves along a medium and in the process there is a transfer of energy from one point to another. There are various kinds of waves and the classification of the waves is based on the amount of energy that is transferred in each case.

1) We know that in the case of the light waves, the direction of the wave is perpendicular to the motion of the particle that causes the wave as such we can all it a transverse wave.

2) We know that a wave must always involve an energy that is travelling and in this case, the energy is travelling through the land and this is the ground.

3) We know that the mechanical waves must have to move through a medium of propagation. As such, mechanical waves must move through a medium.

1 You place a 28.95-g piece of gold in a 10-ml graduated cylinder. The level of the water rises 1.50 mL. What is the density of gold?​

Answers

Answer:

What mass of silver will raise the level of the water in the graduated cylinder 1.50 mL? (Ans) 28.95 g / 1.50 mL = 19.3 g/mL (The gold's density)

19.3 gm/ml³ is the density of gold  .

What do you mean by the density of the substance?

Density, mass of a unit volume of a material substance. Density of a substance tells how close the particles of a substance are packed.

The formula for density is D = M/V, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume.

Density is commonly expressed in units of grams per cubic centimeter.

The SI unit of density is kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m3).

It is also represented  in the c g s unit of grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3).

To calculate density of gold (here):

Given,

Mass of gold=28.95 gm

Volume of water=1.50 mL

Density=?

Density =Mass/Volume

Density=28.95/1.50

Density=19.3 gm/ml³

Hence, 19.3 gm/ml³ is the density of gold .

If 0.484J of heat is added to 0.1372g of water, how much will the temperature increase?

0.263 °C
0.927 °c
0.843 °C
0.460 °C

Answers

Answer:

ΔT = 0.843 °C

Explanation:

Given data:

Heat added = 0.484 J

Mass of water = 0.1372 g

Temperature increase = ΔT = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 j/g.°C

Now we will put the values in formula.

0.484 j = 0.1372 g × 4.184 j/g.°C× ΔT

0.484 j = 0.574j/°C× ΔT

ΔT = 0.484 j / 0.574j/°C

ΔT = 0.843 °C

Answer:

T₂ = 695.33 K

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 150 mL

Initial temperature = 25°C (25+273 = 298 K)

Final temperature = ?

Final volume = 350 mL

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

T₂ = V₂T₁ /V₁

T₂ = 350 mL × 298 K / 150 mL

T₂ = 104300 mL.K / 150 mL

T₂ = 695.33 K
