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

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

Concept Development
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The main difference between a liquid and a gas is that when a liquid is under pressure, its volume "won't change apparently. The reason is that the distance between the molecules of a liquid is relatively small, and the molecules of a liquid extensively withstand the compressive forces. This is similar to the distance between the molecules of a solid."

A 16.9 kg monkey is swinging on a 5.32 m long vine. It starts at rest, with the vine at a 43.0° angle. How fast is the monkey mo
NemiM [27]

Answer:

v = 5.7554 m/s

Explanation:

First of all we need to know if the angle of the vine is measured in the horizontal or vertical.

To do this easier, let's assume the angle is measured with the horizontal. In this case, the innitial height of the monkey will be:

h₀ = h sinα

h₀ = 5.32 sin43° = 3.6282 m

As the monkey is dropping from the innitial point which is the suspension point, is also dropping from 5.32. Then the actual height of the monkey will be:

Δh = 5.32 - 3.63 = 1.69 m

In order to calculate the speed of the monkey we need to understand that the monkey has a potential energy. This energy, because of the gravity, is converted in kinetic energy, and the value will be the same. Therefore we can say that:

Ep = Ek

From here, we can calculate the speed of the monkey.

Ep = mgΔH

Ek = 1/2 mv²

The potential energy is:

Ep = 16.9 * 9.8 * 1.69 = 279.9

Now with the kinetic energy:

1/2 * (16.9) * v² = 279.9

v² = (279.9) * 2 / 16.9

v² = 33.12

v = √33.12

<h2>v = 5.7554 m/s</h2>

Hope this helps

Deena made a chart to summarize features of a velocity vs. time graph for objects with constant acceleration and objects with co
Irina-Kira [14]
The error is:
"<span>Find acceleration by finding the area of the rectangle above the line"

The acceleration of any body is the rate of change of velocity of that body. If the motion of the object being considered is plotted on a graph, with the velocity on the y-axis and the time on the x-axis, this ratio will be equivalent to the slope of the graph, not the area above the line.</span>

What are em waves expain in details
Tresset [83]
Electromagnetic waves or EM waves are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. ... They are hence known as 'electromagnetic' waves. The electric field and magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave are perpendicular (at right angles) to each other.

Hope this helps.
