Hi there

pushing on something that pushes back = action and reaction.

Gravity is non contact. Action at a distance. Hence stones wil fall if dropped.

An iron bar has more mass than a plastic bar of the same volume. so the iron bar will have greater inertia.

Irina-Kira [14]

The response is False, both bars, iron bars and plastic bars have de same inertia, this characteristic does not depend on the type of material, the inertia depends on his transverse section, since we can estimate in the following formula

<span>Area moment of inertia Ixx = BH3/12</span>

<span>Area moment of inertia Iyy= HB3/12</span>

The structural diversity of carbon-based molecules is determined by which properties?

Leokris [45]

Explanation:

The structural diversity of carbon-based molecules is determined by following properties:

1. the ability of those bonds to rotate freely,

2.the ability of carbon to form four covalent bonds,

3.the orientation of those bonds in the form of a tetrahedron.

A piece of steel is 11.5cm long at 22C. It is heated to 1221C, close to its melting point. How long is it, in cm, at the high te

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The length at the final temperature is 11.7 cm.

Explanation:

We need to use the thermal expansion equation:

$\Delta L=\alpha L_{0}\Delta T$

Where:

L(0) is the initial length
ΔT is the differential temperature, final temperature minus initial temperature (T(f)-T(0))
ΔL is the final length minus the initial length (L(f)-L(0))
α is the coefficient of linear expantion of steel (12.5*10⁻⁶ 1/°C)

So, we have:

$L_{f}-L_{0}=\alpha L_{0}(T_{f}-T_{0})$
