Explain what happens at the particle level when a solid melts

Physics

Scilla [17]4 years ago

Melting occurs when a solid is heated and turns to liquid. The particles in a solid gain enough energy to overcome the bonding forces holding them firmly in place. Typically, during melting, the particles start to move about, staying close to their neighbouring particles, then move more freely.

A submerged submarine is stationary. The engines are put on maximum power. The submarine moves forward. The engines maintain max
densk [106]
This is EXACTLY the same scenario as the skydiver jumping
out of the airplane, except the whole thing is turned on its side.

==> The skydiver leaves the airplane.
The force of gravity on him (his weight) makes him accelerate down.
But the air resists his downward motion.
The faster he falls, the more UPWARD force the air exerts on him.
The more upward force the air exerts, the less he accelerates down.
When his falling speed is great enough, he stops accelerating, and
falls with a constant speed.  He calls that speed his 'terminal velocity'. 

==> The submarine turns on its engines, at maximum power.
The force of the engines makes the sub accelerate forward. 
But the water resists its forward motion.
The faster it moves, the more BACKWARD force the water exerts on it.
The more backward force the water exerts, the less it accelerates forward.
When the forward speed is great enough, it stops accelerating, and moves
with a constant speed.  I don't know if they use the same term in submarines,
but you might say that speed is the 'terminal velocity' in water.

Suppose a NASCAR race car rounds one end of the Martinsville Speedway. This end of the track is a turn with a radius of approxim
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration of the car is 17.4 m/s²

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the track, r = 57 m

Speed of car, v = 31.5 m/s

We need to find the centripetal acceleration of the race car. The formula for the centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

a=\dfrac{(31.5\ m/s)^2}{57\ m}

a=17.4\ m/s^2

So, the centripetal acceleration of the race car is 17.4 m/s². Hence, this is the required solution.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Dakota moves a magnetic toy train toward a magnet that cannot move. What happens to the potential energy in the system of magnets during the movement? The potential energy increases because the train moves against the magnetic force. The potential energy decreases because the train moves against the magnetic force.

I hope this helps you :)
