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.

Suppose that the magnetic field in some region has the form B = kz ˆx (where k is a constant). Find the force on a square loop (
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

F = ika^2

Explanation:

As we know that loop is placed in YZ plane and magnetic field is along x direction

So here net force on the side of the loop which lies along Y axis is given as

F_1 = i (\vec L \times \vec B)

here we know that on Y axis z = 0

so B = 0

so we have

F_1 = 0

now on the opposite side we have z = a

so magnetic field is given as

B = ka

so force on that side is given as

F = i(\vec L \times \vec B)

F = i(a)(ka) sin90

F_2 = ika^2

so net force on the loop is given as

F = F_1 + F_2

F = ika^2

Explain Rutherford's experiment?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Rutherford bombarded aluminum foil with beam of light known as alpha particles. The mass of this alpha particle is equivalent to helium atom.

Explanation:

Rutherford bombarded aluminum foil with beam of light known as alpha particles. The mass of this alpha particle is equivalent to helium atom.

When this alpha particles were made to strike the aluminum foil, some passed through the foil, some were reflected and speed others changed.

The ones reflected encountered heavier particle known as the nucleus, preventing them from passing through it. The whole observations indicated that atom is not is uniformly charged sphere as proposed by J.J Thomson.

Rutherford proposed new model known as the Planetary model of atom, which described atom as containing a nucleus which is revolved by electron, just like planets revolve round the sun. And this nucleus contains opposite charge to electron which is proton, to balance the motion.
