Explain why liquids solidify when they are cooled.

Physics
1 answer:
iragen [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Atoms distance is reduced .


Explanation:

In liquids atoms locate themselves relatively at more distance as compared to solids. When energy is extracted out of liquids and atoms are left to come closer they arrange themselves at shorter distance and solidify .

A pulley lifts a 72-N load with a force of 24-N. The input distance is 2m and the output distance is 0.5m. What is the efficienc
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done on the lever ( input energy ) = force applied x input distance

= 24 N x 2m = 48 J

Work done by the lever ( output energy ) = load x output distance

= 72 N x 0.5m = 36 J

efficiency = output energy / input energy

= 36 J  / 48 J

= 3 / 4 = .75

In percentage terms efficiency = 75 % .

A boy of mass 80 kg slides down a vertical pole, and a frictional force of 480 N acts on him. What is his acceleration as he sli
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

His acceleration is \overrightarrow{a}=4\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that acceleration of a body is cause by a net force, the relation between them is:

\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a}

On the boy there're acting two forces, his weight (W) that points downward and the frictional force (f) that points upward (they boy moves downward and friction always is opposite to movement). So \sum\overrightarrow{F}=\overrightarrow{W}+\overrightarrow{f} so (1) is:

\overrightarrow{W}+\overrightarrow{f}=m\overrightarrow{a}

Using the positive direction downward weight and gravitational acceleration(g) are positive and friction force is negative:

W-f=m\overrightarrow{a}, solving for a:

\overrightarrow{a}=\frac{W-f}{m}, weight is mg:

\overrightarrow{a}=\frac{mg-f}{m}=\overrightarrow{f}=\frac{(80kg)(10\frac{m}{s^{2}})-(480)}{80}

\overrightarrow{a}=4\frac{m}{s^{2}}
