Adding heat to a liquid causes which of the following physical changes?

1 answer:

8 0

In almost every case in nature, adding heat to a liquid
causes the density of the liquid to decrease. That is,
when the liquid gets warmer, it expands and occupies
more space.

The one big exception to this rule is water !

Starting with a block of ice at zero°C (32°F), as the ice melts,
becomes water at zero°C, and all the way to 4°C (about 39°F),
its density increases all the way. That is, it shrinks and occupies
less volume as it goes from ice at zero°C to water at 4°C.

This sounds like an interesting but insignificant quirk ... until
you realize that if water didn't do this, then life on Earth would
be impossible !

Answer:

Same, the electric fields point in opposite directions and therefore cancel at some midpoint.

Explanation:

The Electric field net at some point between them is zero, only if they point in opposite direction (they cancel to the each other). In order the electric fields have opposite direction, at some point between the bees , the bees must have the same sign of electric charge

10) A soccer player kicks a soccer ball (m = 0.42 kg) accelerating from rest to 32.5m/s in 0.21s. Determine the force that sends

MaRussiya [10]

Explanation:

(10) Mass of a soccer player, m = 0.42 kg

Initial speed, u = 0

Final speed, v = 32.5 m/s

Time, t = 0.21 s

We need to find the force that sends soccer ball towards the goal.

Force, F = ma

$F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.42 \times (32.5-0)}{0.21}\\\\F=65\ N$

So, 65 N of force soccer ball sends towards the goal.

(11) Mass of the satellite, m = 72,000 kg

Initial speed, u = 0 m/s

Final speed, v = 0.63 m/s

Time, t = 1296 s

We need to find the force is exerted by the rocket on the satellite.

Force, F = ma

$F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{72,000\times (0.63-0)}{1296}\\\\F=35\ N$

So, 35 N of the force is exerted by the rocket on the satellite.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A wire 1 mm in diameter is connected to one end of a wire of the same material 2 mm in diameter of twice the length. A voltage s

miskamm [114]

Answer:

T = 2 T₀

Explanation:

To answer this question let's write the expression for electrical conductivity

σ = n e2 τ / m*

The relationship with resistivity is

ρ = 1 /σ

Whereby the resistance

R = ρ L / A = 1 /σ L / A

We see that there is no explicit relationship between time and resistance, there is only a dependence on the life time (τ) that depends on the properties of the material, not on its diameter or length.

As also the average velocity or electron velocity of electrons is constant, the time to cross 2 mm in length is twice as long as the time to cross a mm in length

Explain why the shortening velocity became slower as the load became heavier in this experiment. how well did the results compar

valkas [14]

The shortening velocity refers to the speed of the contraction from the muscle shortening while lifting a load. Maximal shortening velocity is only attained with a minimal load. With a light load, the shortening velocity is at its Maximal shortening velocity. When the weight is heavy, the speed in which the muscle lifts the weight decreases in speed at a slower velocity.
