How much is xx dollars really worth?

You agree to mow someone'south lawn for twenty dollars (it'south a fairly large yard). When they pay you, they give yous a $20 pecker. It doesn't matter whether the bill is brand new or onetime, dirty, and wrinkled—all of these bills take the same value of $20. If you lot want more than $xx bills, you lot have to mow more than lawns. You can't say, "this particular bill is actually worth more than than $twenty." To have more money, you lot have to put in more piece of work.

Extensive Backdrop

Some properties of matter depend on the size of the sample, while some do not. An extensive property is a property that depends on the amount of matter in a sample. The mass of an object is a measure of the corporeality of thing that an object contains. A minor sample of a sure type of thing volition have a small mass, while a larger sample volition have a greater mass. Another extensive property is volume. The volume of an object is a measure of the space that is occupied past that object.

The figure below illustrates the extensive belongings of volume. The pitcher and glass both incorporate milk. The pitcher holds approximately two quarts and the glass will concord virtually eight ounces of milk. The aforementioned milk is in each container. The only difference is the amount of milk independent in the glass and in the pitcher.

Intensive Properties

The electrical conductivity of a substance is a property that depends only on the type of substance. Silver, gold, and copper are excellent conductors of electricity, while glass and plastic are poor conductors. A larger or smaller piece of glass will not change this property. An intensive property is a property of matter that depends only on the type of affair in a sample and not on the amount. Other intensive properties include colour, temperature, density, and solubility.

The copper wire shown in the motion picture beneath has a certain electric electrical conductivity. Yous could cutting off the pocket-sized terminate that sticks out, and it would have the same conductivity as the entire long roll of wire shown here. The conductivity is a property of the copper metal itself, not of the length of the wire.

Summary

An extensive holding is a property that depends on the corporeality of matter in a sample.
Mass and book are examples of extensive properties.
An intensive holding is a property of matter that depends just on the blazon of matter in a sample and not on the amount.
Colour, temperature, and solubility are examples of intensive properties.

Review

Give two examples of extensive properties.
Define intensive holding.
Give two examples of intensive backdrop.
