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.

(a) Find the frequency of revolution of an electron with an energy of 114 eV in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 46.7 µT. (
stira [4]

Answer:

(a)  1.3 x 10^6 Hz

(b) 76.73 cm

Explanation:

(a)

the formula for the frequency is given by

f = B q / 2 π m

where, B be the strength of magnetic field, q be the charge on one electron, m is the mass of one electron.

B = 46.7 micro tesla = 46.7 x 10^-6 T

q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

f = (46.7 x 10^-6 x 1.6 x 10^-19) / (2 x 3.14 x 9.1 x 10^-31) = 1.3 x 10^6 Hz

(b) K = 114 eV = 114 x 1.6 x 10^-19 J = 182.4 x 10^-19 J

K = 1/2 mv^2

182.4 x 10^-19 = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x v^2

v = 6.3 x 10^6 m/s

r = m v / B q

Where, r be the radius of circular path

r = (9.1 x 10^-31 x 6.3 x 10^6) / (46.7 x 10^-6 x 1.6 x 10^-19)

r = 0.7673 m = 76.73 cm

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

El microscopio y el descubrimiento de microorganismos. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) fue una de las primeras personas en observar microorganismos, utilizando un microscopio de su propio diseño, e hizo una de las contribuciones más importantes a la biología. Robert Hooke fue el primero en usar un microscopio para observar seres vivos.

1)Calculate the mass of a girl that has a weight of 113 Newtons.
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Explanation:We should know that weight = mass * gravity.

That is weight equals mass times gravity.

Gravity is a force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe. It is directly proportional to product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Gravity is generally measured in terms of acceleration due to gravity, denoted as g. For Earth it is, 9.8 m/s². And for moon, it is about 1.62 m/s².

On Earth, your weight is 70 kg = W

W = mass x 9.8

70 = mass x 9.8

Your mass is 70/ 9.8

i.e approximately 7.14

Weight at the Moon, W' = 7.14 x 1.62

Hence, your weight on the surface of the moon is just 11.56 kg.

Congratulations, you've lost about 58.14 kilograms without any hard exercise. And you're as light as a Sweedish Vallhund! Cheers!

How many seconds will it take for a the International Space Station to travel 450 km at a rate of 100 m/s?
SVEN [57.7K]

Time = (distance) / (speed)

<em></em>

Time = (450 km) / (100 m/s)

Time = (450,000 m) / (100 m/s)

Time = <em>4500 seconds </em>(that's 75 minutes)

Note:

This is about HALF the speed of the passenger jet you fly in when you go to visit Grandma for Christmas.

If the International Space Station flew at this speed, it would immediately go ker-PLUNK into the ocean.

The speed of the International Space Station in its orbit is more like 3,100 m/s, not 100 m/s.
