Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

A region is which particles of a gas or air are far apart from each other is known as rarefaction.

Basically, rarefaction is the opposite of compression. Density of a substance is less in rarefaction as there are large gaps between particles as they tend to spread out more. As a result, there will be decrease in mass of the substance.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement particles are squeezed together during rarefactions, is false.

2. A student becomes so excited by the whole idea of black holes that he decides to jump into one. It has a mass 10 times the ma
LiRa [457]

Answer:

*Disclaimer you can't actually do that, or at least not yet because the nearest black hole is at least 1,000 light years away. But if we could...

His journy would be pretty fast and horrific. For him, he would slowly be streched apart or spegetified into a string of atoms as he nears the event horizoin. But for an outside observer he would apear to go slower and slower and would never actualy reach the event horizion. This is becuase of einstines general relativity, massive objects slow time down. He would also apear to become red as the lights wavelength is streched out due to the entense gravity of the black hole.

Sam, whose mass is 75 kg, straps on his skis and starts down a 50-m-high, 20 frictionless slope. A strong headwind exerts a hori
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sam mass=75kg

Height is 50m

20° frictionless slope

Horizontal force on Sam is 200N

According to the work energy theorem, the net work done on Sam will be equal to his change in kinetic energy.

Therefore

Wg - Ww =∆K.E

Note initial the body was at rest at top of the slope.

Then, ∆K.E is K.E(final) - K.E(initial)

K.E Is given as ½mv²

Since initial velocity is zero then, K.E(initial ) is zero

Therefore, ∆K.E=½mVf²

Wg is work done by gravity and it is given by using P.E formulas

Wg=mgh

Wg=75×9.8×50

Wg=36750J

Ww is work done by wind and it's is given by using formulae for work

Work=force × distance

Ww=horizontal force × horizontal distance

Using Trig.

TanX=opposite/adjacent

Tan20=h/x

x=h/tan20

x=50/tan20

x=137.37m

Then,

Ww=F×x

Ww=200×137.37

We=27474J

Now applying the formula

Wg - Ww =∆K.E

36750 - 27474 =½×75×Vf²

9276=37.5Vf²

Vf²=9275/37.5

Vf²= 247.36

Vf=√247.36

Vf=15.73m/s

When a mass rests on a surface, the surface "pushes up" on the object with a force that is equal in
Airida [17]

Answer: 294 N

Explanation:

Since the Normal Force N is equal to the weight W of the dog, we have:

N=W=m.g

Where:

m=30 kg is the mass of the dog

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface

Solving:

N=W=(30 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})

N=294 N
