<u>Answer: </u>The particles of gases are moving with a greater kinetic energy than the particles of liquid state.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In gaseous state, the particles are randomly arranged which means there is a lot of intermolecular spacing between them. This means that the particles are constant moving and have more kinetic energy.

In liquid state, the particles are arranged orderly as compared to the gaseous state which means that the intermolecular spacing between the particles is less than the gaseous state. This means that the particles have less kinetic energy.

We are given that the temperature is a measure of how much the atoms in a substance is moving and kinetic energy is the energy which is possessed by the virtue of the object's motion.

More the kinetic energy, high will be the temperature and vice-versa.

Hence, gaseous state has more kinetic energy and thus have higher temperature and therefore, the substance feels hotter.

Hey there!
In a gas state, particles have lots of energy, so they move around very rapidly, hitting each other and flowing around, that's why you see them moving so freely. Because they have so much energy, the substance is likely to be harder, as it can obtain more thermal energy, or heat.
Hope this helps!

Describe what it means to view something from a frame of reference. Give an example to illustrate your explanation.
Komok [63]

Answer:

In physics, the concept of a frame of reference is used to specify the perspective from which an object or event is observed.

A frame of reference is where the measurements or observations will be made. Because of this, observing an event may be different when changing from one frame of reference to another, because the measurements will be different.

Defining frames of reference is necessary because the movement is relative, it may be that from our perspective or from a frame of reference on earth we are at rest, but seen from a frame of reference in space, we are in motion due that the earth is always moving.

Another example of frames of reference is a moving plane. Seen from the ground an object in the plane moves at the speed at which the plane travels, but if the frame of reference is fixed on the plane, the object is at rest.

sasho [114]

Explanation:

Niels Bohr improved Rutherford's model. Using mathematical ideas, he showed that electrons occupy shells or energy levels around the nucleus. The Dalton model has changed over time because of the discovery of subatomic particles .

A 15-kilogram cart is at rest on a horizontal
Sergio [31]
The most likely answer to this problem would be (1) more mass and more inertia.

A 15-kilogram cart at rest and a 5-kilogram box would make up a 20-kilogram cart and box that is at rest on a horizontal surface. The mass changed into something more, of course, as a result of combining the two object into one and by combining the two objects' mass, the inertia that it previously possessed as a cart by itself was increased when the inertia of the box was also combined to the cart.

A concrete piling of 50 kg is suspended from a steel wire of diameter 1.0 mm and length 11.2 m. How much will the wire stretch?
pentagon [3]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of concrete pilling, m = 50 kg

Diameter of wire, d = 1 mm

Radius of wire, r = 0.0005 m

Length of wire, L = 11.2

Young modulus of steel, Y=20\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2

The young modulus of a wire is given by :

Y=\dfrac{\dfrac{F}{A}}{\dfrac{\Delta L}{L}}

Y=\dfrac{F.L}{A\Delta L}

\Delta L=\dfrac{F.L}{A.Y}

\Delta L=\dfrac{50\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 11.2\ m}{\pi (0.0005\ m)^2\times 20\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2}

\Delta L=0.034\ m

So, the wire will stretch 0.034 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
