Answer:

b. the forces of attraction among them limit their motion.

Explanation:

In solids, the particles are tightly packed. The solid has fixed shape and volume.There is strong inter-particle force of attraction which prevents the motion of particles in solids. Thus, the particles in solids can vibrate about their fixed position. Liquids have fixed volume but not shape. Gases don't have fixed shape and volume. The particles of liquid do not spread out like gases. This is because of the inter particle attraction which prevents them from moving far away. In gases, the inter-particle distance is large and thus, particles have weak force of attraction.

Answer:

$d=\frac{1.22\times 640\times 10^{-9}\times 21.7}{7.35\times 10^{-2}}=2305.21\times 10^{-7}m$

Explanation:

The expression which represent the first diffraction minima by a circular aperture is given by $d sin\Theta =1.22\lambda$ --------eqn 1

The angle through which the first minima is diffracted is given by $tan\Theta =\frac{y_1}{D}$ ---------eqn 2

As $\Theta$ is very small so we can write $sin\Theta =tan\Theta$

So from eqn 1 and eqn 2 we can write

$y_1=\frac{1.22\lambda D}{d}$ --------eqn 3

Here $y_1$ is the position of first maxima D is the distance of screen from the circular aperture d is the diameter of aperture

It is given that diameter of circular aperture is 14.7 cm so $y_1=\frac{14.7}{2}=7.35 \ cm$

Now putting all these value in eqn 3

$d=\frac{1.22\lambda D}{y_1}$

$d=\frac{1.22\times 640\times 10^{-9}\times 21.7}{7.35\times 10^{-2}}=2305.21\times 10^{-7}m$

Bob walks 370 m south, then jogs 410 m southwest, then walks 370 m in a direction 28 degrees east of north.

wlad13 [49]

We will measure all angles from West, the negative x-axis and divide the journey into 3 parts:
P1 = 370y
P2 = 410cos(45)x + 410sin(45)y = 290x + 290y
P3 = 370cos(270 - 28)x + 370sin(270 - 28) = -174x - 327y

Overall displacement:
x = 290 - 174 = 116 m
y = 370 + 290 - 327 = 333 m

displacement = √(116² + 333²)
= 353 m

Direction:
tan(∅) = y/x
∅ = tan⁻¹ (333 / 116)
∅ = 70.8° from West.

Answer:

Gravity. The weight-force or weight of an object is the force because of Gravity, which acts on the object attracting it towards the centre of the earth.

Water is pumped steadily out of a flooded basement at a speed of 5.4 m/s through a uniform hose of radius 0.83 cm. The hose pass

Gala2k [10]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the flow as a function of the volume in a certain time, as well as the potential and kinetic energy that act on the pump and the fluid.

The work done would be defined as

$\Delta W = \Delta PE + \Delta KE$
