The temperature scale which starts at absolute zero is the Kelvin scale. The correct option in respect to the given question is the last option. William Thompson was the British scientist and inventor that invented the Kelvin scale. William Thompson was also popularly known as Lord Kelvin.His discovery of the Kelvin scale is considered one among the three best scales in use for measuring temperatures.Each measuring unit of this scale is never called a degree but a Kelvin. This specialized scale gives the option of measuring temperature in both centigrade and Fahrenheit.

Why might a balloon, that is inflated almost to its capacity, pop or explode on an extremely warm day?

REY [17]

On an extremely warm day, the balloon might pop because gases expand the hotter they get, and due to its temperature it is likely to pop if it is, indeed, nearly, if not completely, filled to its capacity. I hope this helps, have a nice day!

a teacher pushed a 10kg desk across a floor for a distance of 5m. she exerted a horizontal force of 20n. how much work was done?

serious [3.7K]

Work Done = Force x distance
Since she exerted a horizontal force of 20N over a distance of 5m, the work done is 20N x 5m which is equals to 100 joules

If p(a)=0.07692, p(b)=0.25, and probability of a and b. =0.01923, what is probability of a or b. to four decimal places? select

Triss [41]

Answer:

p(a) * p(b) = .01923

p(b) = .01923 / .07692 = .2500

What net force would be needed to accelerate the box at 2.3 m/s^2

Akimi4 [234]

The pertinent equation here is F=ma. You haven't shared the mass of the box, so I will use M to represent that mass.

Then F = M(<span>2.3 m/s^2) (answer)</span>

How does the electrostatic force compare with the strong nuclear force in the

diamong [38]

Answer:

Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force

Explanation:

There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:

- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by

$F_E=\frac{kq_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.

The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.

- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.

At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.
