Answer:

A. The particles will begin to move enough

that they slide past each other.

Explanation:

When the plastic cup is heated, the Kinetic energy of its particles starts increasing. As the temperature rises, the kinetic energy keeps increasing. With the increase of K.E, the particles start moving faster and faster. When the temperature finally reaches the melting point, the K.E of the molecules is enough to break the bonds and slide past each other.

It has been theorized that all of the modern continents on Earth were once part of a single continent. What scientific evidence

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is not just one of these answers, in fact they all make sense. But the one I learned in school was that when the continents were still one super continent- Pangea, animals fossilized wear the borders of modern day continents were. This later on scientists found half of an animal fossil on the edge of one continent and the other half on the edge of a different continent.

hope this helps

Two loudspeakers are placed on a wall 3.00 m apart. A listener stands 3.00 m from the wall directly in front of one of the speak

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Part a)

$\Delta \phi = 2.2 \pi$

Part b)

$f = 411.3 Hz$

Explanation:

As we know that the observer is standing in front of one speaker

So here the path difference of the two sound waves reaching to the observer is given as

$\Delta x = 3\sqrt2 - 3$

$\Delta x = 1.24 m$

now phase difference is related with path difference as

$\Delta \phi = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}(\Delta x)$

$\Delta \phi = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}(1.24)$

here in order to find the wavelength

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

$\lambda = \frac{340}{300} = 1.13$

now we have

$\Delta \phi = \frac{2\pi}{1.13}(1.24) = 2.2\pi$

Part b)

Now we know that when phase difference is odd multiple of $\pi$

then in that case the the sound must be minimum

So nearest value for minimum intensity would be

$\Delta \phi = 3\pi$

so we have

$3\pi = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}(1.24)$

so we have

$\lambda = 0.827$

now we have

$\frac{340}{f} = 0.827$

$f = 411.3 Hz$

If two objects A and B have the same kinetic energy but A has three times the momentum of B, what is the ratio of their inertias

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

$\frac{inertia_B}{inertia_A}=9$

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that:

- The kinetic energy of an object is given by $K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ , where m is the mass and v is the speed

- The momentum of an object is given by $p=mv$

- The inertia of an object is proportional to its mass, so we can write $I=km$ , where k just indicates a constant of proportionality

In this problem, we have:

- $K_A = K_B$ (the two objects have same kinetic energy)

- $p_A = 3 p_B$ (A has three times the momentum of B)

Re-writing both equation we have:

$\frac{1}{2}m_A v_A^2 = \frac{1}{2}m_B v_B^2\\m_A v_A = 3 m_B v_B$

If we divide first equation by second one we get

$v_A = 3 v_B$

And if we substitute it into the first equation we get

$m_A (3 v_B)^2 = m_B v_B^2\\9 m_A v_B^2 = m_B v_B^2\\m_B = 9 m_A$

So, B has 9 times more mass than A, and so B has 9 times more inertia than A, and their ratio is:

$\frac{I_B}{I_A}=\frac{km_B}{km_A}=\frac{9m_A}{m_A}=9$

Why is there an upward force on objects in water?

Paraphin [41]

If you'r referring to some objects, it means that the mass of the object is less than the water so it floats. If the mass of an object is greater than the mass of the water, it will sink. Compare it to a balloon, helium makes it rise, while normal air makes it sink.
