A clear liquid from a flask is poured into another clear liquid in a beaker. Which of the following results of this procedure would indicate a new substance was formed?

• The level of the substance in the beaker is higher after the other liquid is added.

• A yellow solid forms and then settles to the bottom of the beaker.

• Small white crystals are left behind in the flask that held the first liquid.

Answer explanation

A yellow solid forming and settling indicates a chemical reaction occurred, producing a new substance. The other options do not confirm the formation of a new substance.

What is the net force?

• 20 N 

• 0 N 

• 400 N 

• 40 N 

Answer explanation

The net force is the vector sum of all forces acting on an object. If the forces balance out, the net force is 0 N. However, if there is a resultant force of 40 N in one direction, that is the net force.
