Why does the plot show vertical jumps at the melting and boiling points?

1 answer:

3 0

I think this happens because during melting or boiling at constant temperature, the entropy dramatically increases because energy is removed from the system during the change. Entropy increases with increase in temperature, entropy increases steadily with increasing temperature up to the melting point of the solid, where the entropy increases further due to addition of freedom of molecules which increases the randomness of the substance. At boiling point of liquid, another abrupt increase in entropy occurs, this results from increased volume available to the atoms or molecules as they enter the gaseous state.

Explain what happens to particles in diffusion. What causes diffusion?

vlabodo [156]

Diffusion:
 in diffusion particles move from area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration..
causes:
the movement of particles allow them ti disperse,,, when molecules are close to each other they collide with each other and push each other apart so they spread in the whole area... :)

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached

MissTica

Answer:

When air resistance equals the weight of an object, the object has reached free fall.

Explanation:

When an object has only force acting on it as gravity then, it experiences free fall.
During free fall all the forces except gravity is balanced by one another.
In the question, object's weight is balanced by air resistance so it is in the state of free fall.
At the null point of free fall, object experiences weightlessness i.e. it feels like object is not attracted by any force.

Write whether true or false...

elixir [45]

Answer:

a --> true, b --> false, c --> true, d -->false

Explanation:

a) since it stays floating the gravity force and the upqards push is the same

b) if it's balanced the rocket won't move from the ground, the force of the rocket, has to exceed the force of gravity

c) since it's going in a diretion the force of gravity is exceeding the force pushing it up

d) since that are speeding up at a rate, meaning growing, the force is unbalanced.

Two identical cars, one on the moon and one on the earth, have the same speed and are rounding banked turns that have the same r

Naily [24]

Answer:

The value of the centripetal forces are same.

Explanation:

Given:

The masses of the cars are same. The radii of the banked paths are same. The weight of an object on the moon is about one sixth of its weight on earth.

The expression for centripetal force is given by,

$F_{c} = \dfrac{mv^{2}}{r}$

where, $m$ is the mass of the object, $v$ is the velocity of the object and $r$ is the radius of the path.

The value of the centripetal force depends on the mass of the object, not on its weight.

As both on moon and earth the velocity of the cars and the radii of the paths are same, so the centripetal forces are the same.
