Because they have no dignified shape they take on the shape of whate ever container they are in and when you pour in out it can't really take any shape except tho lay flat on the table. and solids do not flow because they have a dignified shape. hope it helps!

The reason that solids are not able to move freely is because their structure and "lack of" energy they stay together from it mutual bonds. Liquids are able to move freely because they are moving ever so slightly and there bonds are weaker than of a solid, allowing the liquid molecules to slid past each other.

What is the maximum speed with which a 1200-kg car can round a turn of radius 90.0 m on a flat road if the coefficient of fricti

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Maximum speed of the car is 26.56 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m = 1200 kg

Radius of the curve, r = 90 m

The coefficient of friction between tires and the road is 0.8.

We need to find the maximum speed of the car. On the circular curve, the centripetal force is balanced by the force of friction. So,

$\dfrac{v^2}{r}=\mu g\\\\v=\sqrt{\mu gr} \\\\v=\sqrt{0.8\times 9.8\times 90} \\\\v=26.56\ m/s$

So, the maximum speed of the car is 26.56 m/s.

Learning Goal: To review the concept of conservative forces and to understand that electrostatic forces are, in fact, conservati

CaHeK987 [17]

Explanation:

The electrostatic forces are conservative forces!

The mainly property of the conservative fields is $\vec{\nabla} \times \vec E=\vec 0$

In spherical coordinates the field's expression is:

$\vec E=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon _0 r^2} .\^r$

and the curl expression is:

$\nabla\times \vec E=\frac{1}{r^2{\sin}\,\theta}\left|\begin{matrix}\hat{r} & r\,\hat{\theta} & r\,{\sin}\,\theta\,\hat{\varphi} \\& & \\\frac{\partial}{\partial r} & \frac{\partial}{\partial \theta} & \frac{\partial}{\partial \varphi}\\ & & \\E_r & rE_\theta & r{\sin}\,\theta\, E_\varphi\end{matrix}\right|=(0, 0, 0)$

to find the expression for the potential function associated:

$\vec E=\vec \nabla . V, \Delta V= V_b-V_a=-\int _c \vec E.d\vec l=-\int _c E\^r.dr\^r=-\int _c Edr=\int \limits^a_b \frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon _0 r^2} dr= \frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon _0}.(\frac{1}{r}|^b_a)= \frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon _0}.(\frac{1}{b}-\frac{1}{a})$
