In an acid/base lab, a student used blue litmus paper and placed it in the sample. It stayed blue. Then the student used red litmus paper and it stayed red. What should the student's conclusion be?

The substance is neutral

Explanation:

If you place red litmus paper into a basic substance, it turn's blue. When it comes in contact with an acidic or neutral substance, it doesn't change colour it remains red.

Blue litmus paper in acid turns red when placed in a basic or neutral solution it remains blue. From this it can be concluded that the solution is neutral.

- decrease the number of plants and animals living in the water.

(newtons first law)

conservation of momentum law states :

momentum before collision = momentum after collision

momentum p (kg-m/s)= mass * velocity

say moving car=1 000 kg, velocity = 10 m/s then p = 1 000*10= 10 000 kg-m/s

say still car = 2 000 kg, velocity = 0 m/s then p = 2 000* 0 = 0 kg-m/s

total momentum prior to collision = 10 000 + 0 = 10 000 kg-m/s

momentum after collision = 10 000 kg-m/s

mass now = 1 000 kg+2 000 kg = 3 000 kg

10 000 = 3 000 kg* velocity m/s

10 000/3 000 = velocity

3.33 m/s = velocity after collision

an impulse is a force applied over time , momentum is exclusive of external forces and a perfect collision is implied
