How do modern scientist describe the make up of matter

Physics
1 answer:
lbvjy [14]3 years ago
4 0

The matter is a collection or composition of extremely small particles called "Atoms".

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The matter is anything that has mass and which utilizes space by having volume.
  • Modern scientists describe the makeup of matter as a collection of tiny substances called atoms.
  • Matter can either be in solid, liquid, or gaseous state and even appear in plasma form.
  • Matter can neither be created nor be destroyed but only transferred from one form to the other.
  • Atoms are composed protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons are contained in the nucleus, while the electrons orbit around the nucleus of the atom.
  • Protons are positively charged, neutrons are neutral and electrons are negative.

Which in is it Speed (S) or Velocity (V)?
Andrej [43]

Explanation:

Speed has only magnitude.

Velocity has magnitude and direction.

"A bike goes 25 m/s toward  main street."

This includes a direction, so it is velocity (V).

"A person walks 4 mph."

This has only magnitude, so it is speed (S).

"A plane flies 200 m/s."

This has only magnitude, so it is speed (S).

"A bird flies 100 mph due south."

This includes a direction, so it is velocity (V).

Results of attitude research with twins has revealed
Tamiku [17]

Answer and explanation;

According to twin studies attitudes may be genetically based, research has supported that Identical twins are more likely to share similar attitudes. Attitudes change as the result of behavior and not the other way around

Genetic factors may influence general dispositions and condition-ability that may influence formation of more specific attitudes. Controlled twin studies in US and Sweden reveal that identical twins share more similar attitudes than fraternal twins.

What upward gravitational force does a 5600kg elephant exert on the earth?
Anastaziya [24]
Force is determined by multiplying mass and gravity (F= mg). To determine the answer, the mass of the elephant (5600 kg) is multiplied with the gravity (9.8 m/s²). The answer is 5800 N. This is the upward gravitational force that the elephant exerts on the earth.

Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth due to the Moon.
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

g'_h=1.096\times 10^{-5}\ m.s^{-2}

Explanation:

We know that the gravity on the surface of the moon is,

  • g'=\frac{g}{6}
  • g'=1.63\ m.s^{-2}

<u>Gravity at a height h above the surface of the moon will be given as:</u>

g'_h=\frac{G.m}{(r+h)^2} ..........................(1)

where:

G = universal gravitational constant

m = mass of the moon

r = radius of moon

We have:

  • G=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ m^3.s^{-2}.kg^{-1}
  • m=7.35\times 10^{22}\ kg
  • r=1.74\times 10^6\ m
  • h=384.4\times 10^6\ m is the distance between the surface of the earth and the moon.

Now put the respective values in eq. (1)

g'_h=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 7.35\times 10^{22}}{(1.74\times 10^6+384.4\times 10^6)^2}

g'_h=1.096\times 10^{-5}\ m.s^{-2} is the gravity on the moon the earth-surface.

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.320 with the floor. If
mart [117]

Answer:  29.50 m

Explanation: In order to calculate the higher accelation to stop a train  without moving the crates inside the wagon which is traveling at constat speed we have to use the second Newton law so that:

f=μ*N the friction force is equal to coefficient of static friction  multiply the normal force (m*g).

f=m.a=μ*N= m*a= μ*m*g= m*a

then

a=μ*g=0.32*9.8m/s^2= 3.14 m/s^2

With this value we can determine the short distance to stop the train

as follows:

x= vo*t- (a/2)* t^2

Vf=0= vo-a*t then t=vo/a

Finally; x=vo*vo/a-a/2*(vo/a)^2=vo^2/2a= (49*1000/3600)^2/(2*3.14)=29.50 m
