What happens to a solid when thermal energy is added?

2 answers:

7 0

This happens at the boiling temperature of every substance that can vaporize. At the boiling temperature, adding heat energy converts the liquid into a gas WITHOUT RAISING THE TEMPERATURE.The same thing happens when a solid changes into liquid. For instance, ice and water can exist together at the melting temperature.

First, it depends on the solid, solids melt at different temperatures, but to answer your question, we would say this:

When a solid is heated with thermal energy, the particles in the solid start to vibrate rapidly until the particles cannot hold each other together anymore, then they break apart into a liquid.

Hope I helped.

When a plant is entering the calvin cycle of photosythesis______.

Korolek [52]

The Calvin cycle refers to the light-independent reactions in photosynthesis that take place in three key steps. Although the Calvin Cycle is not directly dependent on light, it is indirectly dependent on light since the necessary energy carriers (ATP and NADPH) are products of light-dependent reactions.

So basically it indirectly needs the light, even it's called light-independant reaction.

So the answer is the last one.

Determine the total moment of inertia of a merry-go round with 5 children sitting on it. Of the five children, four are seated a

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

We have five children.

Each of mass m =30kg

They sit on a merry go round

Mass of Merry go round M= 150kg

Radius of Merry go round is r =2m

Four children sit at the edge of the merry go round but one child sit at the centre.

The four child that sit at the edge are 2m from the centre of the merry go round but the one at the centre is 0m from the centre

Moment of inertia?

Moment of inertia is given as

I=Σmi•ri²

For the question, the moment of inertia is the combination of inertial of child and the merry go round

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child)+ I(last child)

The merry go round is assumed to be a solid cylinder, so it is going to have the moment of inertia of solid cylinder

Then,

I(merry go round ) =½ Mr²

Also, Four of the child has the same moment of inertia, they are 2m form the centre of the merry go round why the last child has no moment of inertia

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child) +I(last child )

I= ½Mr² + 4mr² + mr'²

I = ½ × 150 ×2² + 4×30×2² + 30×0²

I = 300 +480+0

I = 780 kgm²

HELPPP PLEASE !!!!!!!

vlabodo [156]

Explanation:

a) d = ½.a.t²

200 = ½(4)t²

200 = 2t²

t² = 200/2

t² = 100

t =√100 = 10 s

b) Vt = a. t

= 4(10)

= 40 m/s

c) V av. = d/t = 200/10 = 20m/s

An electric current flows through a parallel circuit. Which units tell you about the amount of electrons traveling in the circui

kompoz [17]

'Ampere' is the unit of current. That's the rate at which
electrons travel in the circuit ... the number of electrons
every second. If you wanted the actual amount or number
of electrons, you'd need to know the length of time too.

It doesn't matter whether we're talking about a parallel or
series circuit.

makkiz [27]

This is called the Phi Phenomenon.
This is an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession; when two adjacent stationary lights blink on and off in quick succession; we perceive a single light moving back and forth between them. It is an optical illusion of perceiving a series of still images, when viewed in rapid succession, as continuous motion.
