Because the molecules that move freely begin to compact closer together, with less heat, means less molecular activity.

Liquids solidify when they are cooled because they have reached their freezing point. For many liquids this is around 32°F or 0°C. Hope you find this information useful.

(a) when rebuilding her car's engine, a physics major must exert 300 n of force to insert a dry steel piston into a steel cylind

Vilka [71]

There are some missing data in the text of the problem. I've found them online:
a) coefficient of friction dry steel piston - steel cilinder: 0.3
b) coefficient of friction with oil in between the surfaces: 0.03

Solution:
a) The force F applied by the person (300 N) must be at least equal to the frictional force, given by:
$F_f = \mu N$
where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction, while N is the normal force. So we have:
$F=\mu N$
since we know that F=300 N and $\mu=0.3$ , we can find N, the magnitude of the normal force:
$N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.3}=1000 N$

b) The problem is identical to that of the first part; however, this time the coefficienct of friction is $\mu=0.03$ due to the presence of the oil. Therefore, we have:
$N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.03}=10000 N$

A yellow train of mass 100 kg is moving at 8 m/s towards an orange train of mass 200 kg traveling on the opposite direction on t

vladimir1956 [14]

Mass of yellow train, my = 100 kg

Initial Velocity of yellow train, = 8 m/s

mass of orange train = 200 kg

Initial Velocity of orange train = -1 m/s (since it moves opposite direction to the yellow train, we will put negative to show the opposite direction)

To calculate the initial momentum of both trains, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum which

The sum of initial momentum = the sum of final momentum

Since the question only wants the sum of initial momentum,

(100)(8) + (200)(-1) = 600 m/s
