Why can gases be compressed

1 answer:

5 0

Gases can be compressed, because they just take up the space surrounding them. The attractive forces between the particles in a gas are very weak, so the particles are free to move in random direction. They just move along until they collide, either with the walls of the container or with each other. Moreover, gases can be compressed because the particles are far apart and they have space to move into.

You can use _______________ to change a liquid into a gas.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

below

Explanation: When a liquid changes into a gas vaporization has occurred. The process can either occur due to boiling or evaporation. Boiling occurs when the vapor pressure of the liquid is raised (by heating) to the point where it is equal to the atmospheric pressure.

AVprozaik [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/ $s^{2}$ </h2>

Explanation:

A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet.

Mass of the planet = mass of earth = 5.972 x $10^{24}$ Kg

Radius of the earth = 90% of earth radius = 90% 6370 = 5733 km

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = ?

By formula, g = $\frac{GM}{r^{2} }$

where g is the acceleration due to the gravity

G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x $10^{-11}$ $m^{3} kg^{-1} s^{-2}$

M is the mass of the planet

r is the radius of the planet

Substituting the values, we get

g = $\frac{(6.67 * 10^{-11}) (5.972 * 10^{24}) }{5733^{2} }$

g = 12.12 m/ $s^{2}$

The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/ $s^{2}$

I will mark you as brainliest if you answer correctly

aleksklad [387]

(A) We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states:
$V=IR$
where
V is the potential difference across the electrical device
I is the current through the device
R is its resistance
For the heater coil in the problem, we know $V=220 V$ and $R=220 \Omega$ , therefore we can rearrange Ohm's law to find the current through the device:
$I= \frac{V}{R}= \frac{220 V}{220 \Omega}=1 A$

(B) The resistance of a conductive wire depends on three factors. In fact, it is given by:
$R= \rho \frac{L}{A}$
where
$\rho$ is the resistivity of the material of the wire
L is the length of the wire
A is the cross-sectional area of the wire
Basically, we see that the longer the wire, the larger its resistance; and the larger the section of the wire, the smaller its resistance.
