Ans: C) Solid

Explanation: We will look into different states

A) Liquid : In liquid state molecules are not very tightly bound to each other. So, they have no fixed shape . They take the shape of container in which they are kept.

B) Gas : In gaseous state molecules are very loosely bound so they have very less intermolecular forces so they have much more freedom of movement.So, it will be also not correct.

D) Plasma : In Plasma state approximately equal amount of positive or negative charges are there, although its a type of hot ionized gaseous state but but due its different properties then other gases it is considered the 'fourth' state. And it also can't maintain it's definite shape and volume.So we will eliminate that also.

C) Solid : Finally we are left with solid state. Here molecules are tightly bound to each other . So, it doesn't change its shape and volume when kept in different container.

So 'Solid' state is the correct choice.

Hope it helps!!!

An old light bulb draws only 54.3 W, rather than its original 60.0 W, due to evaporative thinning of its filament. By what facto

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of old light bulb = 54.3 W

Power = 60 W

We know that,

The resistance is inversely proportional to the diameter.

$R\propto\dfrac{1}{D}$

The power is inversely proportional to the resistance.

$P\propto\dfrac{1}{R}$

$P\propto D^2$

We need to calculate the factor of the diameter of the filament reduced

Using relation of power and diameter

$\dfrac{P_{i}}{P_{f}}=\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}=\dfrac{54.3}{60}$

$\dfrac{D_{i}}{D_{f}}=0.95$

$D_{i}=0.95 D_{f}$

Hence, The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

100 Points!!!

Kaylis [27]

(1) The image of an object placed further from the lens than the focal point will be upside down and smaller than the object.

(2) When light rays reflect, they bounce back.

(3) Images formed by a concave lens will look magnified.

(4) When light rays enter a different medium, they bend.

<h3>1.0 Object placed further from the lens than the focal point</h3>

The image of an object placed further from the lens than the focal point will be diminished and inverted.

Thus, the correct answer will be "upside down and smaller than the object".

<h3>2.0 What is reflection of light?</h3>

The ability of light to bounce back when it strike a hard surface is known as refection.

<h3>3.0 Image formed by concave lens</h3>

A concave lens is diverging lens is usually virtual, erect and magnified.

<h3>4.0 Refraction of light</h3>

The change in speed of light when it travels from medium to another medium is known as refraction. Refraction is also, the ability of light to bend around obstacles.

You weigh 716 newtons on Earth. You

Otrada [13]

Answer:

537 N

Explanation:

The force due to gravity of a planet is:

F = GMm / r²

where G is the universal gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

m is the mass of the object

and r is the distance between the object and the center of the planet

On Earth, you weigh 716 N, so:

716 N = GMm / r²

On planet X:

F = G (3M) m / (2r)²

F = 3/4 GMm / r²

F = 3/4 (716 N)

F = 537 N

An organ pipe is made to play a low note at 27.5 Hz, the same as the lowest note on a piano. Assuming a sound speed of 343 m/s,

timama [110]

Answer:

The length of open-open pipe needed is 6.23 m

The length of open-close pipe needed is 3.11 m

Explanation:

Fundamental frequency for standing wave mode of an open- open pipe is given by

$f=\frac{v}{2L}$

where v is the velocity and L is the length

The length of open-open pipe needed is

$L=\frac{v}{2f} \\L=\frac{343}{2\times 27.5} \\L=6.23 m$

Fundamental frequency for standing wave mode of an open- close pipe is given by

$f=\frac{v}{2L}$

The length of open-close pipe needed is

$L=\frac{v}{2f} \\L=\frac{343}{2\times 27.5} \\L=6.23 m$
