If you start with a substance as a solid, what will happen to the molecules as you add thermal energy (heat)?

Physics

AveGali [126]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

C. molecules speed up as more thermal energy is added

Explanation:

The molecules will simply speed up as more thermal energy is added to the solid.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy which is set in motion.

  • Heat causes kinetic energy build up in a body.
  • As the molecules of the solid gains heat, they will continue to increase in thermal energy.
  • They are forced to start vibrating about their fixed point.
  • Thereafter, when they have enough energy, they break free from the forces holding them.
  • Therefore, they move from a state of rest to one with a very high kinetic energy where the molecules moves rapidly.
  • This is why a solid will change to liquid and sometimes eventually gas

How does the value of gravity vary as you go:
iragen [17]

Answer:

Gravity changes with altitude. as we know The gravitational force is proportional to 1/R2, where R is your distance from the center of the Earth.

eg. The radius of the Earth at the equator is 6400 kilometers.

Let's say you were in a jet at the equator that was 40 kilometers high above the earth's surface.

How can you increase the intensity of sound waves
VladimirAG [237]

Answer

The intensity of a sound wave depends on the pressure of the wave,density of the medium and speed of sound in the medium. Higher density and higher sound speed both give a lower intensity. and may be it is because that sound wave is more characterize by wavelength than frequency..explanation

Explanation:

As decibel levels get higher, sound waves have greater intensity and sounds are louder. For every 10-decibel increase in the intensity of sound, loudness is 10 times greater. Intensity of sound results from two factors: the amplitude of the sound waves and how far they have traveled from the source of the sound.

An object starts at the 100 m mark and ends up at the -100 m mark, 50
horsena [70]
It traveled 200 m in 50 seconds. 200/50 can be simplified to 4 m/s!
The velocity is -4 m/s (negative because it travelled from 100 to -100 or backwards)

The force diagram represents a girl pulling a sled with a mass of 6.0 kg to the left with a force of 10.0 N at a 30.0 degree ang
Vilka [71]
Normal Force = 54 N
acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

For Normal Force:
According to the force diagram, we can come up with the equation (all up and down forces):

10 sin 30 + Normal Force - 58.8 = 0
Normal Force = 53.8 N = 54 N

For acceleration:
According to the force diagram, we can come up with the equation (all left and right forces):

10 cos 30 - 1.5 = (6.0) (Acceleration)
Acceleration = 1.19 m/s^2 = 1.2 m/s^2
