Easy. It oxidized. Its called verdigris. That is the name of the pigment that turns the copper green.

<span>It reacted with the water and water vapor and oxygen in the air, causing it to rust, and form copper oxide.
Hope this helps!

Elan Coil [88]
<span>Answers: (a) 2.0 m/s (b) 4 m/s

Method:

(a) By conservation of momentum, the velocity of the center of mass is unchanged, i.e., 2.0 m/s.

(b) The velocity of the center of mass = (m1v1+m2v2) / (m1+m2)

Since the second mass is initially at rest, vcom = m1v1 / (m1+m2)

Therefore, the initial v1 = vcom (m1+m2) / m1 = 2.0 m/s x 6 = 12 m/s

Since the second mass is initially at rest, v2f = v1i (2m1 /m1+m2 ) = 12 m/s (2/6) = 4 m/s </span>

which has a greater kinetic energy, a bowling ball that has a mass of 5kg travelling at 6m/s, or a ship that has a mass of 12000
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:bowling ball has greater kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of bowling ball:

mass=m=5kg

Velocity=v=6m/s

Kinetic energy =ke

Ke=0.5 x m x v x v

Ke=0.5 x 5 x 6 x 6

Ke=90J

Kinetic energy of ship:

mass=m=120000kg

velocity=v=0.02m/s

Ke=0.5 x m x v x v

Ke=0.5 x 120000 x 0.02 x 0.02

Ke=24J

Water flowing through a cylindrical pipe suddenly comes to a section of pipe where the diameter decreases to 86% of its previous
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of the water in the large section of the pipe is not stated

so i will assume 36m/s

(if its not the said speed, input the figure of your speed and you get it right)

Continuity equation is applicable for ideal, incompressible liquids

Q the flux of water that is  Av with A the cross section area and v the velocity,

so,

A_1V_1=A_2V_2

A_{1}=\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2} \\\\ A_{2}=\frac{\pi}{4}d_{2}^{2}

the diameter decreases 86% so

d_2 = 0.86d_1

v_{2}=\frac{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2}v_{1}}{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{2}^{2}}\\\\=\frac{\cancel{\frac{\pi}{4}d_{1}^{2}}v_{1}}{\cancel{\frac{\pi}{4}}(0.86\cancel{d_{1}})^{2}}\\\\\approx1.35v_{1} \\\\v_{2}\approx(1.35)(38)\\\\\approx48.6\,\frac{m}{s}

Thus, speed in smaller section is 48.6 m/s

A 2-kg cart, traveling on a horizontal air track with a speed of 3 m/s, collides with a stationary 4-kg cart. The carts stick to
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Magnitude of impulse, |J| = 4 kg-m/s                                                                                

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of cart 1, m_1=2\ kg

Mass of cart 2, m_2=4\ kg  

Initial speed of cart 1, u_1=3\ m/s          

Initial speed of cart 2, u_2=0 (stationary)

The carts stick together. It is the case of inelastic collision. Let V is the combined speed of both carts. The momentum remains conserved.

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}        

V=\dfrac{2\times 3}{(2+4)}

V = 1 m/s

The magnitude of the impulse exerted by one cart on the other is given by:

J=F\times t=m(V-u)

J=m(V-u)

J=2\times (1-3)    

J = -4 kg-m/s

or

|J| = 4 kg-m/s

So, the magnitude of the impulse exerted by one cart on the other 4 kg-m/s. Hence, this is required solution.

Which statement would be a valid argument in favor of using nuclear power? There are few negative impacts from mining the fuel.
fgiga [73]
Okay so, lets use the process of elimination here. 

<span>A)There are few negative impacts from mining the fuel.
B)Reactors are safe from natural disasters.
C)There are little to no waste products from fission.
D)Nuclear power does not contribute greenhouse gases.

First off, we know B cannot be correct, seeing as how reactors are fragile and are damaged easily by Japan's earthquakes. So we can eliminate B from the choices. We then can eliminate C, since fission creates high levels of nuclear waste, so that leaves us with just A, and D. We can then eliminate A since uranium is radioactive, there is always a chance for negative effects.

So, the correct answer is D</span>
