The shape of a
can change, but the volume is definite.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

There are three states of matter; solid, liquid and gaseous states.

The solid state of matter has it's particles tightly packed with very restricted  or no movement within the molecule hence the reason for it's definite shape.

The liquid state of matter has it's particles with a free movement (better than solid but not as free as gases) within the molecule hence it's particles are loosely packed within the molecule. Hence, they (liquids) assume the shape of the container in which they are stored and they move freely when released from the container.

The gaseous state of matter has it's particles totally loosely packed as a result of it's particles moving freely and colliding against one another.

Thus, we can use the above descriptions to answer the statements from the question.

1) The atoms in a  ----- are closely packed, but able to slide past each other. Answer: From the description above, it can be deduced that the atoms here are in a solid because the particles within a solid are closely packed.

2) The atoms in a  -------- spread as far apart as possible.

Answer: The atoms here are in gaseous form because, as described earlier, they are loosely packed and  can thus be as far apart as possible.

3) A  ----- has a definite shape and volume.

Answer: As described earlier, a solid substance would have a definite shape and volume because it's particles are tightly packed.

4) The shape of a  ----- can change, but the volume is definite.

Answer: The substance here is a liquid because the particles are free (but not as free as gases) and would have a definite volume but will assume the shape of the any container they are placed in (hence they have an irregular shape).

A race car moves along a circular track at a speed of 0.512 m/s. If the car's centripetal acceleration is 15.4 m/s2, what is the distance between the car and the center of the track?

Answers

Answer:

The radius is  [tex]r = 0.0170 \ m[/tex]  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The speed at which the race car moves is [tex]v = 0.512 \ m/s[/tex]

       The centripetal acceleration is  [tex]a _r = 15.4 \ m/s[/tex]

Generally the centripetal acceleration is mathematically represented as

           [tex]a_r = \frac{v^2 }{r}[/tex]

=>        [tex]15.4 = \frac{0.512^2 }{ r}[/tex]

An airplane flies at 40 m/s at an altitude of 50 meters. The pilot drops a heavy package which falls to the ground. Where, approximately, does the package land relative to the plane's new position

Answers

Answer:

128 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Horizontal velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Height (h) = 50 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Horizontal distance (s) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the package to get to the ground.

This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 50 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

50 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

50 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 50 / 4.9

t² = 10.2

Take the square root of both side

t = √10.2

t = 3.2 s

Finally, we shall determine where the package lands by calculating the horizontal distance travelled by the package after being dropped from the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Horizontal velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Time (t) = 3.2 s

Horizontal distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 40 × 3.2

s = 128 m

Therefore, the package will land at 128 m relative to the plane

An 800 kHz radio signal is detected at a point 3.2 km distant from a transmitter tower. The electric field amplitude of the signal at that point is 320 mV/m. Assume that the signal power is radiated uniformly in all directions and that radio waves incident upon the ground are completely absorbed. The magnetic field amplitude of the signal at that point, in nT, is closest to:

Answers

Answer:

1.07 nT

Explanation:

We know that E/B = c where E = electric field amplitude = 320 mV/m = 0.32 V/m, B = magnetic field amplitude and c = speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s.

So, B = E/c

Substituting E and c into B, we have

B = E/c

= 0.32 V/m ÷ 3 × 10⁸ m/s

= 0.1067 × 10⁻⁸ T

= 1.067 × 10⁻⁹ T

= 1.067 nT

≅ 1.07 nT

A clown in a circus act swings a 2.7-kg metal ball attached to a 72.0-cm nylon string in a horizontal circle above her head, making one revolution in 0.98 s. What is the tension force, Ft, exerted on the string by the ball?​

Answers

Answer:

Tension, Ft = 79.91 N

Explanation:

The tension in the string is the resultant force that exists in the string due to the centripetal effect of the swinging ball.

From conservation laws, the tension in the string will be equals to the centripetal force acting on the string.

The tension in a string can be obtained using the formula:

[tex]T=mv^2/R[/tex]

where v = linear velocity of the metal ball which equals to the angular velocity of the ball X the radius of the ball.

The radius of the ball is given as 72 cm = 0.72m and the angular velocity = 1.02 rad/second.

Therefore, linear velocity, [tex]v = 2\pi \times 1.02\times 0.72 =4.616m/s[/tex]

The tension in the string will now be equals to [tex]2.7 \times 4.616^2 /0.72 =79.91N[/tex]

i Determine the maximum angular speed of the disc so that the particle does not move relative to
the disc. [2]
ii The disc now begins to rotate at an angular speed that is greater than the answer in d i. Describe
qualitatively what happens to the particle. [2]

Answers

Answer:

a. Please find attached the diagram of the disc, having arrows that represent the velocity and the acceleration of the particle placed on it

b. The angular speed is approximately 4.488 rad/s

The linear speed is approximately 0.987 m/s

c. The largest distance from the center of the disc where the particle can be placed and still not move is approximately 0.399 m from the center of the disc

d. i The maximum angular speed of the disk so that the particle does not move relative to the disk is approximately 6.044 rad/sec

ii When the angular speed with which the disc rotates is more than the the answer of question d i  above, the particle slips on the disc, and the disc begins to rotate faster than the particle, while the particle is swung in an outward radial direction off the disc due to the centrifugal forces

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The radius of the horizontal disc, r = 45 cm = 0.45 m

The time the disc makes one full revolution, T = 1.40 s

The mass of the particle placed on the disc = 0.054 kg

The location on the disc the particle is placed = 22 cm from the disc's center

a. Please find attached the diagram of the disc created with Microsoft Visio, with arrows representing the velocity and the acceleration of the particle placed on the disk

b. The angular speed, ω = 2·π/T = 2 × π/1.4 ≈ 4.488 rad/s

The linear speed, v = ω × r = 4.488 rad/s × 0.22 m ≈ 0.987 m/s

The linear speed, v ≈ 0.987 m/s

c. The given coefficient of static friction = 0.82

Therefore;

The frictional force that prevents motion = Weight of the particle × The coefficient of static friction

The frictional force that prevents motion is [tex]F_f[/tex] = 0.054 × 9.8 × 0.82 ≈ 0.434 N

[tex]F_f[/tex] ≈ 0.434 N

Therefore, for the largest distance from the center of the disc where the particle can be placed and still not move, r, is given by the formula for the centripetal force, [tex]F_c[/tex], acting on the particle as follows;

For static equilibrium, no movement of the particle relative to the disc, we have;

[tex]F_f[/tex] = [tex]F_c[/tex]

Where;

[tex]F_c = \dfrac{m \times v^2}{r} = m \times \omega ^2 \times r[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]F_c = {0.054 \ kg \times (4.488 \ rad/s)^2} \times r = F_f = 0.434 \ N[/tex]

r = 0.434 N/(0.054 kg × (4.488 rad/s)²) ≈ 0.399 m

The largest distance from the center of the disc where the particle can be placed and still not move, r = 0.399 m from the center of the disc

d. i From the static equilibrium equation where r = 0.22 m, we have;

[tex]F_c = {0.054 \ kg \times \omega ^2} \times 0.22 \ m = F_f = 0.434 \ N[/tex]

ω =  √(0.434 N/(0.054 kg × (0.22 m))) ≈ 6.044 rad/sec

The maximum angular speed of the disk so that the particle does not move relative to the disk, ω ≈ 6.044 rad/sec

ii When the angular speed with which the disc rotates is more than the the answer of question d i  above, we have

The particle begins to slip on the disc such that the disc rotates faster than the particle and the particle tends to rotate slower than the speed pf the disc and is swung off the disc by centripetal force acting on the particle due to the rotational motion of the disc.

Suppose a candle is burned in a closed system where matter cannot enter or leave. Given this situation,
what is equal to the mass of the original candle?

Answers

Answer:

Mass of the melted wax

Explanation:

The mass of the original candle that has been burnt in the closed system is equal to the mass of the melted wax.

A closed system is a system where matter cannot be exchange with the surrounding. As the candle undergoes a phase change during the burning, it melts to liquid wax. Since there is no loss of mass, the amount of matter in the system is conserved. Therefore, the mass of the molten wax will be the same as the mass of the candle originally melted.

Explanation:

The linear momentum generated by the shot must be calculated. This can be calculated using the following expression.

where:

P = linear momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

[tex]P=0.004*380\\P=1.52[kg*m/s][/tex]

Now we can calculate the recoil velocity, because the momentum is equal for the rifle.

[tex]P=m*v\\v = P/m\\v = 1.52/2\\v = 0.76[m/s][/tex]

a truck of mass 200kg rests on an inclined plane hindered from rolling down the surface by a storing sprint whose force constant is 10^6N/M.neglecting friction,how much work does the truck do on the spring?

Answers

Answer:

1.92 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Workdone =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted on the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 200 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = m × g

F = 200 × 9.8

F = 1960 N

Next we shall determine the extent to which the spring stretches. This can be obtained as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Force (F) = 1960 N

Extention (e) =?

F = Ke

1960 = 10⁶ × e

Divide both side by 10⁶

e = 1960 / 10⁶

e = 0.00196 m

Finally, we shall determine energy (Workdone) on the spring as follow:

Spring constant (K) = 10⁶ N/m

Extention (e) = 0.00196 m

Energy (E) =?

E = ½Ke²

E = ½ × 10⁶ × (0.00196)²

E = 1.92 J

Therefore, the Workdone on the spring is 1.92 J

An object located near the surface of Earth has a weight of a 245 N
object?
• What is the mass of the object?
• What is the weight of the object on Mars where the gravity is
3.72 m/s?

Answers

Answer:

The mass of the object is 24.5 kg and weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

Explanation:

Weight of the object on the surface of Earth, W = 245 N

On the surface of Earth, acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s²

Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

m is mass

[tex]m=\dfrac{W}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{245\ N}{10\ m/s^2}\\\\=24.5\ kg[/tex]

So, the mass of the object is 24.5 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on Mars, g' = 3.72 m/s²

Weight of the object on Mars,

W' =mg'

W' = 24.5 kg × 3.72 m/s²

= 91.14 N

So, the weight of the object on Mars is 91.14 N.

Mass of the object located near the Earth surface is 25kgThe weight of the object on Mars with the given gravity is 93 Newtons.

Given the data in the question;

Weight of object; [tex]W = 245N[/tex]

What is the mass of the object.

Weight the measure of the force of gravity pulling down on a particle or object.

It is expressed as:

[tex]W = m* g[/tex]

Where m is mass of the object and g is acceleration due to gravity { Acceleration due gravity of Earth [tex]g_{earth} = 9.8m/s^2[/tex] }

We substitute our values into the equation

[tex]245N = m * 9.8m/s^2\\\\245kg.m/s^2 = m * 9.8m/s^2\\\\m = \frac{245kg.m/s^2}{9.8m/s^2} \\\\m = 25kg[/tex]

Therefore, mass of the object located near the Earth surface is 25kg

Weight of the object on Mars where the gravity [tex]3.72m/s^2[/tex]

So on planet Mars; [tex]g = 3.72m/s^2[/tex], we know that mass of the object is [tex]25kg[/tex]

We substitute into our equation

[tex]W = m* g[/tex]

[tex]W = 25kg * 3.72m/s^2\\\\W = 93kg.m/s^2\\\\W = 93N[/tex]

Therefore, the weight of the object on Mars with the given gravity is 93 Newtons.
