Why do solid have fixed shape?

2 answers:

Any matter that is a solid has a definiteshape and a definite volume. The molecules in a solid are in fixedpositions and are close together. Although the molecules can still vibrate, they cannot move from one part of the solid to another part. As a result, a solid does not easily change its shape or its volume.

An airplane is flying from Dallas, Texas to Pensacola, Florida. Flying at maximum velocity, it encounters strong winds moving at

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

G. It will take twice as long.

Explanation:

Let's call $v$ the original speed of the plane and $d$ the distance between Dallas and Pensacola. The time the plane originally takes to complete the flight is

$t=\frac{d}{v}$

In this problem, we are told that the plane encounters wind moving at half of its speed: $\frac{v}{2}$ , in the opposite direction. This means that the new speed of the plane is

$v'=v-\frac{v}{2}=\frac{v}{2}$

And so, the time the plane takes now to complete the flight is

$t'=\frac{d}{v/2}=2\frac{d}{v}=2t$

So, the plane takes twice the time as before.

Explain what nuclear fusion is in the role it plays in Stars. DO NOT LOOK UP ANSWERS

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Stars are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, mostly converting hydrogen into helium. The production of new elements via nuclear reactions is called nucleosynthesis. A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle).

What do electric and magnetic fields have in common?

Nastasia [14]

Electric field, an electric property associated with each point in space when charge is present in any form. The magnitude and direction of the electric field are expressed by the value of E, called electric field strength or electric field intensity or simply the electric field.

Magnetic field are a region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts. Magnetic fields are produced by moving electric charges. Everything is made up of atoms, and each atom has a nucleus made of neutrons and protons with electrons that orbit around the nucleus. Since the orbiting electrons are tiny moving charges, a small magnetic field is created around each atom.

Similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields: Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges). Like pole repel unlike poles attract. Electric field points in the direction of the force experienced by a positive charge.
