If you can simply pour sand into a cup then why is it not a liquid?

If you pour sand into a cup(empty) why would it change?
If it had water in it then the sand will sink to the bottom, and not change forms.

If you, for example, poured it onto a wide cup with a volume equal to the total volume of the sand particles, the sand would not spread out to fill the container but would bunch up together in the middle.

Differentiate between step up and step down transformer

Sav [38]

Answer:

The main difference between the step-up and step-down transformer is that the step-up transformer increases the output voltage, while the step-down transformer reduces the output voltage.

With a bit of algebraic reasoning find your gravitational acceleration toward any planet of mass M a distance d from its center.

grandymaker [24]

The acceleration due to gravity is given as:

g = GM/r²

<h3>Derivation of gravitational acceleration:</h3>

According to Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma

where,

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

According to Newton's law of gravity,

Fg = GMm/(r + h)²

Fg = gravitational force

From Newton's second law of motion,

Fg = ma

a = Fg/m

We can refer to "a" as "g"

a = g = GMm/(m)(r + h)²

g = GM/(r + h)²

When the object is on or close to the surface, the value of g is constant and height has no considerable impact. Hence, it can be written as,

g = GM/r²

How are gravity and electromagnetic force similar and different?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The biggest difference is that gravity is an attractive force while electromagnetism is both an attractive and repelling force. Gravity happens between two objects depending on their masses, while electromagnetism is dependent on the objects' electric charges and the distance between them.

A 26 foot ladder is lowered down a vertical wall at a rate of 3 feet per minute. The base of the ladder is sliding away from the

lakkis [162]

Answer:

(i) 7.2 feet per minute.

(ii) No, the rate would be different.

(iii) The rate would be always positive.

(iv) the resultant change would be constant.

(v) 0 feet per min

Explanation:

Let the length of ladder is l, x be the height of the top of the ladder from the ground and y be the length of the bottom of the ladder from the wall,

By making the diagram of this situation,

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

$l^2 = x^2 + y^2-----(1)$
