The answer is B.

A. Particles are always vibrating. The hotter the object, the more average kinetic energy the particles have, and thus vibrating faster. If the matter is cooled down to absolute zero (ie. 0K or -273°C), the particles will stop vibrating as they lose all the kinetic energy.

B. Particles in solids are vibrating within a fixed location. They are closely packed together, forming a regular and fixed shape. When the solids are heated up and become liquid or gas, the particles will gain potential energy, which allows them to move around and further apart from each other. Thus, liquid and gas do not have a fixed shape.

C. Intermolecular forces are the chemical bonds (eg. ionic bond, covalent bond) among atoms and molecules. Stronger bonds result in a higher boiling point and melting point as more energy is required to break the forces. Yet, even substances with weak intermolecular forces could still be frozen to solid, so the strength of the bonds does not affect the physical states of the substance.

D. For the same kind of substance, solid has a lower temperature than liquid and gas. Temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the particles, so the particles vibrate less vigorously. Yet, taking water and ice as an example, if you have a large piece of ice and a drop of water, although the average kinetic energy of ice is lower than that of water, the total kinetic energy of the particles in the ice could still be larger than that in the water, since there are many more particles in the ice.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

d = 11.1 m

Explanation:

Since the inclined plane is frictionless, this is just a simple application of the conservation law of energy:

\frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  = mgh

Let d be the displacement along the inclined plane. Note that the height h in terms of d and the angle is as follows:

\sin(15)  =  \frac{h}{d}  \\ or \: h = d \sin(15)

Plugging this into the energy conservation equation and cancelling m, we get

{v}^{2}  = 2gd \sin(15)

Solving for d,

d =  \frac{ {v}^{2} }{2g \sin(15) }  =  \frac{ {(7.5 \:  \frac{m}{s}) }^{2} }{2(9.8 \:  \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} })(0.259)}   \\ = 11.1 \: m

A 4350 kg truck, driving 7.39 m/s, runs into the back of a stationary car. After the collision, the truck moves 4.55 m/s and the
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Mass of car = 1098 kg

Explanation:

Here law of conservation of momentum is applied.

Let mass of car be m.

Initial momentum = Final momentum.

Initial momentum = 4350 x 7.39 + m x 0 = 32416.5 kgm/s

Final momentum = 4350 x 4.55 + m x 11.5 = 19792.5+11.5m

We have

      19792.5+11.5m = 32416.5

        m = 1097.97 kg

Mass of car = 1098 kg

  • Resistance=R=10ohm
  • Voltage=V=5V
  • Current=I

Applying ohm's law

\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{V}{I}=R

\\ \sf\longmapsto I=\dfrac{V}{R}

\\ \sf\longmapsto I=\dfrac{5}{10}

\\ \sf\longmapsto I=0.5A
