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.

A train station bell gives off a fundamental tone of 500 Hz as the train approaches the station at a speed of 30.0 m/s. If the s
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

548.5 Hz

Explanation:

We are given that

Frequency of source=500 Hz

Speed of train=30m/s

Speed of sound in air=339m/s

We have to find the frequency of the bell to an observer riding the train.

The apparent frequency for the listener

f=\frac{v_0}{v_0-v_s}f_1

Where f_1=Frequency of source

v_0=Speed of sound

v_s=Speed of source

Using the formula

The apparent frequency of the bell to an observer riding the train=\frac{339}{339-30}\times 500=548.5 Hz

Hence, the apparent frequency of the bell to an observer riding the train=548.5 Hz

What changes depending on location in the universe, mass or weight. Explain
Black_prince [1.1K]
Weight changes. Mass should remain the same. Weight is the effect of mass in a gravity field, so on Earth, you'll with 180 pounds, but on the moon, only 30 - while your mass remains the same in both places.

A 7.0-kg rock is subject to a variable force given by the equation f(x)=6.0n−(2.0n/m)x+(6.0n/m2)x2 if the rock initially is at r
stealth61 [152]
For Newton's second law, the force is equal to the product between the mass and the acceleration of the rocket:
F=ma
From which we can rewrite the acceleration as
a(x)= \frac{F}{m} =  \frac{1}{m} (6-2x+6x^2)
where m=7.0 kg.

The velocity of the rocket is the derivative of the acceleration:
v(x) =  \frac{1}{m} (-2+12 x)
and if we substitute x=9.0 m, we find the rocket velocity after 9.0 m:
v(9)= \frac{1}{7}(-2+12\cdot 9)=15.1 m/s

Sauron [17]
Hi,

The force that acts on hydraulic machine is heavy therefore the content must be something that cannot be compressed by that kind of force, the gas can easily be compressed while a liquid is nearly impossible to.
