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

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

A constant magnetic flux through a closed loop of wire induces an emf in that loop. True or false?
miskamm [114]

Answer: False

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the Faraday law, which say

dФm/dt=-ε  it means that the variation of the magnetic field flux with time is equal to the emf ( electromotive force). In our case the magnetic flux is constant then there is not a emf induced in a wire closed loop.

A 150 kg uniform beam is attached to a vertical wall at one end and is supported by a cable at the other end. Calculate the magn
xenn [34]

Answer:

T = 2010 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the uniform beam = 150 kg

Force of gravity acting on the beam at its center is given as

W = mg

W = 150 x 9.8

W = 1470 N

T = Tension force in the wire

θ = angle made by the wire with the horizontal =  47° deg

L = length of the beam

From the figure,

AC = L

BC = L/2

From the figure, using equilibrium of torque about point C

T (AC) Sin47 = W (BC)

T L Sin47 = W (L/2)

T Sin47 = W/2

T Sin47 = 1470

T = 2010 N

In an Atwood's machine, one block has a mass of 602.0 g, and the other a mass of 717.0 g. The pulley, which is mounted in horizo
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of the both masses is 0.0244 m/s².

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one block = 602.0 g

Mass of other block = 717.0 g

Radius = 1.70 cm

Height = 60.6 cm

Time = 7.00 s

Suppose we find  the magnitude of the acceleration of the 602.0-g block

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Where, s = distance

t = time

a = acceleration

Put the value into the formula

60.0\times10^{-2}=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times a\times(7.00)^2

a=\dfrac{60.0\times10^{-2}\times2}{(7.00)^2}

a=0.0244\ m/s^2

Hence, The acceleration of the both masses is 0.0244 m/s².
