The slower the particles in a substance move,

swat32

Answer: particles move closer together

Explanation: If the motion of particles slows the particles move closer together. This is because the attraction between them pulls them toward each other. Strong attractive forces hold particles close together. As the motion of particles increases, particles move further apart.

A cat dozes on a stationary merry-go-round, at a radius of 5.5 m from the center of the ride. Then the operator turns on the rid

bixtya [17]

Answer:

$u_{s}=0.56$

Explanation:

For the cat to stay in place on the merry go round without sliding the magnitude of maximum static friction must be equal to magnitude of centripetal force

$F_{s.max}=\frac{mv^2}{r} \\$

Where the r is the radius of merry-go-round and v is the tangential speed

but

$F_{s.max}=u_{s}F_{N}=u_{s}mg$

So we have

$u_{s}mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\ u_{s}=\frac{v^2}{gr}\\ Where\\v=\frac{2\pi R}{T} \\So\\u_{s}=\frac{(\frac{2\pi R}{T} )^2}{gr} \\u_{s}=\frac{4\pi^2 r}{gT^2}$

Substitute the given values

$u_{s}=\frac{4\pi^2 5.5m}{(9.8m/s^2)(6.3s)^2} \\u_{s}=0.56$

A sealed box contains a monatomic ideal gas. The number of gas atoms per unit volume is 5.00 * 1020 atoms>cm3, and the averag

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Pressure,P=6×10^3Pa

Explanation:

The gas has an ideal gas behaviour and ideal gas equation

PV=NKT

T= V/N p/K ...eq1

Average transitional kinetic energy Ktr=1.8×10-23J

Ktr=3/2KT

T=2/3Ktr/K....eq2

Equating eq1 and 2

V/N p/K = 2/3Ktr/K

Cancelling K on both sides

P= 2/3N/V( Ktr)

Substituting the value of N/V and dividing by 10^-6 to convert cm^3 to m^3

P = 2/3 (5.0×10^20)/10^-6 × 1.8×10^-23

P= 6 ×10^3Pa

Will mark as brainliest if correct!!!!!!!!!!!

Aneli [31]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

The diagram shows the light ray bending away from the normal. Light rays bend away from the normal when their speed increases. This means that in the diagram, the light ray moves from a medium in which light has a lower speed to a medium in light has a higher speed. The only choice where the speed of light increases from A to B is answer A. So that has to be the answer.
