Which of the following best defines boiling point?

1 answer:

7 0

The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the external pressure surrounding the liquid. Therefore, the boiling point of a liquid depends on atmospheric pressure. The boiling point becomes lower as the external pressure is reduced.

A 1.2 x10 3 kilogram automobile in motion strikes a 1.0 x 10 -4 kilogram insect as a result the insect is accelerated at a rate

Mariana [72]

According to Newton's second law, the force applied to an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:
$F=ma$
where F is the magnitude of the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

In this problem, the object is the insect, with mass $m=1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg$ . The acceleration of the insect is $a=1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2$ , therefore we can calculate the force exerted by the car on the insect:
$F=ma=(1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg)(1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2)=0.01 N$

How do we find the force exerted by the insect on the car?
According to Newton's third law (known as action-reaction law), when an object A exerts a force on an object B, object B also exerts a force equal and opposite on object A. Therefore, the force exerted by the insect on the car is equal to the force exerted by the car on the object, so it is 0.01 N.
