Answer - B
Liquid and Gas can be compressed because of the freely moving particles in them. Solids cannot be compressed as their structure is fixed.

The phrase below that is able to be compressed is D. gas only.
Although it is possible to compress liquids, it requires a great deal of pressure to accomplish a little compression, which is why liquids and solids are often referred to as incompressible.

Show that the Mass spring system executes simple harmonic motion(SHM)?

murzikaleks [220]

Explanation:

Show that the motion of a mass attached to the end of a spring is SHM

Consider a mass "m" attached to the end of an elastic spring. The other end of the spring is fixed

at the a firm support as shown in figure "a". The whole system is placed on a smooth horizontal surface.

If we displace the mass 'm' from its mean position 'O' to point "a" by applying an external force, it is displaced by '+x' to its right, there will be elastic restring force on the mass equal to F in the left side which is applied by the spring.

According to "Hook's Law

F = - Kx ---- (1)

Negative sign indicates that the elastic restoring force is opposite to the displacement.

Where K= Spring Constant

If we release mass 'm' at point 'a', it moves forward to ' O'. At point ' O' it will not stop but moves forward towards point "b" due to inertia and covers the same displacement -x. At point 'b' once again elastic restoring force 'F' acts upon it but now in the right side. In this way it continues its motion

from a to b and then b to a.

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, force 'F' produces acceleration 'a' in the body which is given by

F = ma ---- (2)

Comparing equation (1) & (2)

ma = -kx

Here k/m is constant term, therefore ,

a = - (Constant)x

a a -x

This relation indicates that the acceleration of body attached to the end elastic spring is directly proportional to its displacement. Therefore its motion is Simple Harmonic Motion.

The speed of a wave changes depending on the temperature of the medium. What do you think is the reason for this?

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: Because of the different wave speed from light and sound. Explanation: There is a major difference between the speed wave of light and sound, light travels at 186, 282 miles per second, and sound can travel at different speeds and its significantly slower so it is easier to measure it

Refrigerant-134a enters a compressor at 180 kPa as a saturated vapor with a flow rate of 0.35 m3/min and leaves at 900 kPa. The

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

52.5°C

Explanation:

The final enthalpy is determined from energy balance where initial enthalpy and specific volume are obtained from A-12 for the given pressure and state

mh1 + W = mh2

h2 = h1 + W/m

h1 + Wα1/V1

242.9 kJ/kg + 2.35.0.11049kJ/ 0.35/60kg

=287.4 kJ/kg

From the final enthalpy and pressure the final temperature is obtained A-13 using interpolation

i.e T2 = T1 + T2 -T1/h2 -h1(h2 - h1)

= 50°C + 60 - 50/295.15 - 284.79

(287.4 - 284.79)°C

= 52.5°C

Which term is defined by the force that moving, charged particles exert on one another?

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Electromagnetic force

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravity: it is the force that is exerted between any objects with mass. It is the weakest of all forces, so it is only relevant at planetary scales. It is always attractive, and it has an infinite range.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between charged objects and between magnets (it is responsible for electric fields and magnetic fields). It is the 2nd strongest force, and it is the force that holds atoms in a molecule together. It can be attractive or repulsive, and it has an infinite range.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the strongest of all forces. It is responsible for holding the nucleons together inside the nucleus, and it is attractive. It has a very limited range ( $10^{-15}m$ ), so it is relevant only at very small scales

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for radioactive decays and neutrino interactions. It also has a very short range ( $10^{-18} m$

Looking at all these definitions, we see that the term that defines the force that acts between charged particles is the electromagnetic force.
