What are 5 characteristics of liquid

1 answer:

3 0

Liquids are almost incompressible. Liquids have fixed volume but no fixed shape. They have fixed volume but they do not have fixed or definite shape. Liquids flow from higher to lower level. Liquids have their boiling points above room temperature, under normal conditions.

Which trends is indirectly proportional to effective nuclear charge

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Atomic size

Explanation:

In the periodic table , atomic size is indirectly proportional to the effective nuclear charge .the atomic size reduces from left to right across the table. This is because electrons are added to the same shell.

A piston–cylinder device with a set of stops initially contains 0.6 kg of steam at 1.0 MPa and 400°C. The location of the stops

Ilya [14]

Answer:

(a) Compression work at the final state with a pressure of 1(MPa) is: 44.32(KJ), (b) Compression work at the final state with a pressure of 500(KPa): 110.37(KJ) and (c) temperaure of the final state in part b: T=151.83(°C).

Explanation:

Remember that the substance is steam so it's water (H2O) and the initial conditions are $P_{1} =1MPa, T_{1}=400^{0}C, m=0.6Kg$ and $v_{2} =0.4v_{1}$ from a saturated water table and the initial conditions we can determine that the state phase is superheated (see Table 1 attached) because the $T_{sat}=179.88^{0} C \leq T_{1}$ from the table 1 we get: $v_{1} =0.30661(m^{3}/Kg)$ . Now we have second conditions as: $P_{2}=1(MPa), T_{2}=250^{0}C$ so from the same table we can see the state still superheated and we get $v_{2}=0.23275(m^{3}/Kg)$ , knowing that it's a isobaric process we can find the compression's work as: $W_{b}=m*P(v_{2}-v_{1})=0.6*1000*(0.23275-0.30661)=-44.32(KJ)$ so the compressor's work is: 44.32(KJ). (b) Then the piston reaches the stop and there are two processes in this stage, so Process 1 is isobaric and: $W_{1}=m*P*(v_{2}-v_{1}) =0.6*1000*(0.4*0.30661-0.30661)=-110.38(KJ)$ and the second process is isochoric: $W_{2}=zero$ ,now $W_{b}=W_{1}+ W_{2} =110.38+0=110.38(KJ)$ . Finally to get the temperarure at the final state in part (b) we get: $v_{2} =0.4v_{1} =0.4*0.30661=0.122644(m^{3}/Kg), P_{2}=500(KPa)$ from table 2 (see attached) we compare $v_{f}$ and $v_{g}$ at the saturated water table and find the following: $v_{f}=0.001093(m^{3}/Kg)$ , so we know that the final state phase is a satured mixture and we get the temperature at the final state as: $T_{2} =T_{sat} =151.83^{0}C$ .

Explain the difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker if you were designing a circuit for a reading lamp would you include

sesenic [268]

The answer is Fuse. Circuit breakers and fuses are generally known as "Overload Protection Devices. The difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker is that a fuse is a one time circuit element while a circuit breaker is a multiple use device. If you were designing a circuit for a reading lamp, a fuse would do. Since almost all household installed a circuit breaker for outlets, etc,

1-D catch-up: Two cars move with constant velocities. At t = 0, a blue car is at xBo = 20 m. After t = 4s in the blue car time f

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

5.71 m/s ;

20 m/s

Explanation:

Blue car:

At time, t = 0 ; Initial position = 20 m

Final position, = 60m after 4 seconds

The velocity = change in distance / change in time.

Velocity of blue = (60 - 20)m ÷ ((4 + 3) - 0),

Velocity of blue car = 40 / 7

= 5.71 m/s

Red car:

Initial Position = 0 ; final Position = 60

Time taken = 3 seconds

Velocity of Red car = (60 - 0)m ÷ 3

Velocity of Red car = 60 / 3

= 20 m/s

Why is the overall charge on an atom neutral?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The overall charge on a neutral atom is zero.

A neutral atoms contains equal number of electrons and protons.The charge of a proton and electron is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. A proton has a charge of 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C and the charge of an electron is -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C. Thus in a neutral atom, the charge of all the protons gets cancelled with the charge of all the electrons.

Thus a neutral atom has a net zero charge.
