Answer:

The presence of strong intermolecular forces favors a condensed state of matter. liquid or solid), while very weak intermolecular interaction favor the gaseous state.

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 10 kg from a gold wire 2.6 m long that is 1.6 mm in diameter. You measure the stretch of th

PolarNik [594]

<u>Answer:</u> The Young's modulus for the wire is $6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

$Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}$

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight = $m\times g$

m = mass of the ball = 10 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = $9.81m/s^2$

l = length of wire = 2.6 m

A = area of cross section = $\pi r^2$

r = radius of the wire = $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.6mm}{2}=0.8mm=8\times 10^{-4}m$ (Conversion factor: 1 m = 1000 mm)

$\Delta l$ = change in length = 1.99 mm = $1.99\times 10^{-3}m$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$Y=\frac{10\times 9.81\times 2.6}{(3.14\times (8\times 10^{-4})^2)\times 1.99\times 10^{-3}}\\\\Y=6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2$

Hence, the Young's modulus for the wire is $6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2$

An object is 50 cm from a converging lens with a focal length of 40 cm . A real image is formed on the other side of the lens, 2

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

d) -4.0

Explanation:

The magnification of a lens is given by

$M=-\frac{q}{p}$

where

M is the magnification

q is the distance of the image from the lens

p is the distance of the object from the lens

In this problem, we have

p = 50 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

q = 250 cm - 50 cm is the distance of the image from the lens (because the image is 250 cm from the obejct

Also, q is positive since the image is real

So, the magnification is

$M=-\frac{200 cm}{50 cm}=-4.0$

A .140kg baseball traveling 35.0m/s strikes the catchers mit bringing the ball to rest, recoils backward 11.0cm what’s the avera

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Average force applied by the call on the glove = 780 N

Explanation:

mass of baseball=0.140 kg

initial velocity = Vi= 35 m/s

Final velocity=Vf= 0

distance traveled=11 cm= 0.11 m

using the kinematic equation Vf²= Vi²+ 2 a d

where a = acceleration

0²= 35²+ 2 a (0.11)

a=-5568.2 m/s²

Now force is given by F= ma

F= 0.140 (5568.2)

F=-780 N

The negative sign signifies that the force acts in the opposite direction.

so the average force= 780 N

Mass, size and color are examples of ___

The short answer (and the long one for that matter) is physical properties of chemicals. If you are being marked by a machine, likely the answer is going to be physical properties.
