Conceptual question about relativity: Imagine two events--

Physics
1 answer:
steposvetlana [31]3 years ago
6 0
They are not the same event in that they occur in different places and times in most frames of reference. In the photon's frame they are not separated in either space nor time because photons don't experience time and at least mathematically all points on the spacetime manifold are the same point to a photon.  What the zero spacetime interval can tell us though, is that the events are connected by a light beam (light-like separation). There is as much time between the events as there is space and one event can conceptually cause the other. They are on the cusp between time-like and space-like  events.

When a solid is in the process of changing into a liquid and extra energy is added to the system, the temperature does not chang
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

D. The temperature does not change during a phase change because the average kinetic energy does not change. Therefore, the potential energy in the bonds between molecules must change.

Explanation:

When there is a change of state (for example, from solid into a liquid, as in this example), when energy is added to the system, the temperature of the substance does not change.

The reason for this is that the energy supplied is no longer used to increase the average kinetic energy of the particle, but instead it is used to break the bonds between the different particles/molecules. For instance, since in this case the substance is changing from solid to liquid, all the energy supplied during the phase change is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the solid: when the process is done, all the molecules will be free to slide past each other, and the substance has turned completely into a liquid.

The bonds between molecules store potential energy: therefore, this means that the energy supplied during the phase change is not used to change the kinetic energy, but to change the potential energy in the bonds between the molecules.

The structural diversity of carbon-based molecules is determined by which properties?
Leokris [45]

Explanation:

The structural diversity of carbon-based molecules is determined by following properties:

1. the ability of those bonds to rotate freely,

2.the ability of carbon to form four covalent bonds,

3.the orientation of those bonds in the form of a tetrahedron.

What is a disadvantage of shared decision-making?
Snezhnost [94]
The disadvantages of shared decision making are:
Adopting a wrong advice from a member can lead to a big risk to the company and the business. 
Further, increased number of advice also confuses the person, about which to follow and which to ignore. 
There is also diffusion of responsibility and lowered efficiency.
