Answer:
A molecule is something every mass has and is very small
Explanation:
Base on your question where a 14.8g of piece of Styrofoam carries a net charge of -0.742C and is suspended in equilibrium above the center of a large, horizontal sheet of plastic so the ask of the problem is to calculate the charge per unit area on the plastic sheet. The answer would be 21.96
The Ideal Gas Law makes a few assumptions from the Kinetic-Molecular Theory. These assumptions make our work much easier but aren't true under all conditions. The assumptions are,
1) Particles of a gas have virtually no volume and are like single points.
2) Particles exhibit no attractions or repulsions between them.
3) Particles are in continuous, random motion.
4) Collisions between particles are elastic, meaning basically that when they collide, they don't lose any energy.
5) The average kinetic energy is the same for all gasses at a given temperature, regardless of the identity of the gas.
It's generally true that gasses are mostly empty space and their particles occupy very little volume. Gasses are usually far enough apart that they exhibit very little attractive or repulsive forces. When energetic, the gas particles are also in fairly continuous motion, and without other forces, the motion is basically random. Collisions absorb very little energy, and the average KE is pretty close.
Most of these assumptions are dependent on having gas particles very spread apart. When is that true? Think about the other gas laws to remember what properties are related to volume.
A gas with a low pressure and a high temperature will be spread out and therefore exhibit ideal properties.
So, in analyzing the four choices given, we look for low P and high T.
A is at absolute zero, which is pretty much impossible, and definitely does not describe a gas. We rule this out immediately.
B and D are at the same temperature (273 K, or 0 °C), but C is at 100 K, or -173 K. This is very cold, so we rule that out.
We move on to comparing the pressures of B and D. Remember, a low pressure means the particles are more spread out. B has P = 1 Pa, but D has 100 kPa. We need the same units to confirm. Based on our metric prefixes, we know that kPa is kilopascals, and is thus 1000 pascals. So, the pressure of D is five orders of magnitude greater! Thus, the answer is B.
Answer:
(a) Magnitude of static friction force is 109 N
(b) Minimum possible value of static friction is 0.356
Solution:
As per the question;
Horizontal force exerted by the girl, F = 109 N
Mass of the crate, m = 31.2 kg
Now,
(a) To calculate the magnitude of static friction force:
Since, the crate is at rest, the forces on the crate are balanced and thus the horizontal force is equal to the frictional force, f:
F = f = 109 N
(b) The maximum possible force of friction between the floor and the crate is given by:
where
N = Normal reaction = mg
Thus
For the crate to remain at rest, The force exerted on the crate must be less than or equal to the maximum force of friction.
