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.

What separates the terrestrial planets from the jovian or gas planets in space?
Flura [38]
In our solar system, terrestrial planets are separated from the gas giants by the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is a region in the solar system between Mars and Jupiter where asteroids are located. Gas giants do not have a solid surface and possible a small rocky core. The gas giants are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The first four planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

If a substance has a density of 2.7g/cm3 and a mass of 86.4g, what is its volume?
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

32cm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

  Density of substance  = 2.7g/cm³

   Mass of substance  = 86.4g

Unknown:

Volume of substance  = ?

Solution:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

    Density  = \frac{mass}{volume}

Since the unknown is volume we solve for it;

   mass  = density x volume

   86.4 = 2.7 x volume

    volume  = \frac{86.4}{2.7}   = 32cm³

A circular plate of 500-mm diameter is maintained at T1 = 600 K and is positioned coaxial to a conical shape. The back side of t
drek231 [11]
For part a)
Since the conical surface is not exposed to the radiation coming from the walls only from the circular plate and assuming steady state, the temperature of the conical surface is also equal to the temperature of the circular plate. T2 = 600 K

For part b)
To maintain the temperature of the circular plate, the power required would be calculated using:
Q = Aσ(T₁⁴ - Tw⁴)
Q = π(500x10^-3)²/4 (5.67x10^-8)(600⁴ - 300⁴)
Q = 5410.65 W
