Classifying Matter

Physics
1 answer:
Schach [20]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Solid, liquid, Gas

Explanation:

There are three main states of matter:

- Solid: a substance in a solid state has a definite shape and volume. When in solid state, the particles of the substance are tightly bound together, so they cannot move freely, but they can only vibrate about their fixed position. An example of this state is ice

- Liquid: a substance in a liquid state has definite volume but no definite shape. When in liquid state, the particles of the substance are not tightly bound, so they can slide past each other; however, there are still intermolecular forces that keep the particles close to each other, so that they cannot move freely. An example of this state is liquid water

- Gas: a substance in a gas state has no definite shape or volume. When in gas state, the intermolecular forces between the particles are negligible, so the particles are completely free to move far away from each other. An example of this state is steam

Which statement explains the polarity of a water molecule?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

D. The oxygen side is partially negative because electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Explanation:

The water molecule is polar by the virtue of covalent bonds and the hydrogen bonds within and between its molecule.

The oxygen side is partially negative because the electrons are pulled toward the oxygen side.

Between oxygen and hydrogen that makes up the water molecule, oxygen is more electronegative.

An electronegative atom has more affinity for electrons. Since the electrons in the molecule of water is shared between hydrogen and oxygen, the more electronegative specie which is water draws the electron more to itself.

This leaves a net negative charge on the oxygen atom.

Which of the following objects has the greatest kinetic energy?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

a baseball flying through the air at 90 miles per hour

Explanation:

For the question, Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If the velocity is doubled the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.

.In a bizarre but harmless accident, Superman fell from the top of the Eiffel Tower. How fast was Superman traveling when he hit
ELEN [110]

Answer:

 (7.8) x (9.8 m/s)  =  76.44 m/s

during the time he spent falling.

Since his falling speed was zero when he 'stepped' off of the top,

he hit the ground at  76.44 m/s.

That's about 170 miles per hour.

I'll bet he left one serious crater!

I hope this helps too! :D

A 45-mH ideal inductor is connected in series with a 60-Ω resistor through an ideal 15-V DC power supply and an open switch. If
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Complete question:

A 45-mH ideal inductor is connected in series with a 60-Ω resistor through an ideal 15-V DC power supply and an open switch. If the switch is closed at time t = 0 s, what is the current 7.0 ms later?

Answer:

The current in the circuit 7 ms later is 0.2499 A

Explanation:

Given;

Ideal inductor, L = 45-mH

Resistor, R =  60-Ω

Ideal voltage supply, V = 15-V

Initial current at t = 0 seconds:

I₀ = V/R

I₀  = 15/60 = 0.25 A

Time constant, is given as:

T = L/R

T = (45 x 10⁻³) / (60)

T = 7.5 x 10⁻⁴ s

Change in current with respect to time, is given as;

I(t) = I_o(1-e^{-\frac{t}{T}})

Current in the circuit after 7 ms later:

t = 7 ms = 7 x 10⁻³ s

I(t) = I_o(1-e^{-\frac{t}{T}})\\\\I =0.25(1-e^{-\frac{7*10^{-3}}{7.5*10^{-4}}})\\\\I = 0.25(0.9999)\\\\I = 0.2499 \ A

Therefore, the current in the circuit 7 ms later is 0.2499 A

When a force of 20.0N is applied to a spring, it elongates 0.20m. Determine the period of oscillation of a 4.0kg object suspende
choli [55]
So what we can do is apply the<span> Hooke's law wich states that
F = -kx ( P.S the -ve sign means opposite in direction ) 
Also we will need to determine the spring's constant with the formula:
k = F / x 
Where F = the force ( = 20 N ) 
x = the displacement of the end of the spring from it's position ( = 0.20 m ) 
k = the spring's constant ( = unknown ) 
So this would be: k = 20 / 0.20 = 100 N/m 
The period of oscillation of 4 kg : T = 2 * pi * square root m / k 
T = 2 * pi * square root 4 / 100 
T = 1.256 seconds
Hope it helps</span>
