Answer:

Particles of the liquid flow which allows it to take the shape of the container but it can't expand to fill it because its volume always stays the same.

Explanation:

Liquid is a state of the matter that posses an specific volume but don't have a particular shape. The particles in a liquid have space between them and they are not in a fix position which allows them to flow and take the shape of the container and as there is attraction between the particles it maintains its the volume constant which doesn't allow the liquid to expand to fill the container.

Because the atoms can't move freely enough in order to move away from the others. The don't have enough energy to be a gas

If a an object is traveling at a rate of 5 meters per second squared with a force of 10 Newtons, what is the mass of the object?

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

2 kg

Explanation:

Acceleration = 5 m/s^2

Force = 10 N

Force = mass * acceleration

mass = force / acceleration

mass = 10 / 5

mass = 2 kg

A projectile is shot at an angle 45 degrees to the horizontalnear the surface of the earth but in the absence of air resistance.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

v₂ = 176.24 m/s

Explanation:

given,

angle of projectile = 45°

speed = v₁ = 150 m/s

for second trail

speed = v₂ = ?

angle of projectile = 37°

maximum height attained formula,

$H_{max}= \dfrac{v^2 sin^2(\theta)}{g}$

now,

$H_{max}= \dfrac{v_1^2 sin^2(\theta_1)}{g}$

$H_{max}= \dfrac{v_2^2 sin^2(\theta_2)}{g}$

now, equating both the equations

$\dfrac{v_2^2}{v_1^2}=\dfrac{sin^2(\theta_1)}{sin^2(\theta_2)}$

$\dfrac{v_2^2}{150^2}=\dfrac{sin^2(45^0)}{sin^2(37^0)}$

v₂² = 31061.79

v₂ = 176.24 m/s

velocity of projectile would be equal to v₂ = 176.24 m/s

The iron nail’s mass is 16 grams and its temperature drops 650 C when dropped into the water. How much heat energy did the iron

Mice21 [21]

The heat energy transferred by the iron nail is 4680 J

Explanation:

The thermal energy transferred by a substance to another substance is given by the equation

$Q=mC\Delta T$

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is its specific heat capacity

$\Delta T$ is its change in temperature

For the iron nail in this problem, we have:

m = 16 g

$C=0.450 J/g^{\circ}C$

$\Delta T = -650^{\circ}C$

So, the amount of heat energy given off by the nail is

$Q=(16)(0.450)(-650)=-4680 J$

where the negative sign indicates that the heat is given off.

A mass of 4kg suspended by a light string 2m long and at rest is projected horizontally with a velocity of 1.5 m/s. find the ang

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

19.5°

Explanation:

The energy of the mass must be conserved. The energy is given by:

1) $E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh$

where m is the mass, v is the velocity and h is the hight of the mass.

Let the height at the lowest point of the be h=0, the energy of the mass will be:

2) $E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

The energy when the mass comes to a stop will be:

3) $E=mgh$

Setting equations 2 and 3 equal and solving for height h will give:

4) $h=\frac{v^2}{2g}$

The angle ∅ of the string with the vertical with the mass at the highest point will be given by:

5) $cos\phi=\frac{l-h}{l}$

where l is the lenght of the string.

Combining equations 4 and 5 and solving for ∅:

6) $\phi={cos}^{-1}(\frac{l-h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{v^2}{2gl})$
