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.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

See attached diagram

280 km east then 190 km north

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant displacement

d^2 = 280^2 + 190^2

d = 338.4 km

Angle will be arctan ( 190/280) = 34.16 °

Consider a variety of colors of visible light (say 400 nm to 700 nm) falling onto a pair of slits.

babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between angle and wavelength for maxima and minima in Young's double slit experiment is given by

For constructive interference

$d\sin \theta =m\lambda$

For Destructive interference

$d\sin \theta =(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda$

where $\lambda =wavelength$

$d=slit\ width$

m=order of maxima and minima

for second order maxima i.e. $m=2$

For smallest separation taking $\lambda =400 nm, \theta =90^{\circ}$

$d\sin 90=2\times 400\times 10^{-9}$

$d=0.8\times 10^{-6}$

$d=0.8\mu m$

A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.310 m and then accelerates through this dista

Nastasia [14]

Answer:A)u =4.295m/s , B)a = 29.746m/s² C) F=3,153N

Explanation:

Using the kinematic expression

v² = u² - 2as

where

u = initial velocity

v = final velocity

s = distance

g = acceleration due to gravity .

Given that he reaches a height of 0.940 m above the floor,

the final velocity = 0

Here, acceleration due to gravity is acting in opposite the initial direction of motion. So, a=-9.81 m/s.

v² = u² + 2as

0² - u² = 2 (- 9.81) × 0.940

- u² = 2 × - 9.81 × 0.920

- u² = -18.4428

cancelling the minus in both sides , we have that

u² = 18.4428

u = √18.4428

u =4.295m/s

(b) His acceleration (in m/s2) while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.310 m. m/s2

Using v² = u² + 2as

where u = initial speed of basketball player before lengthening = 0 m/s,

v = final speed of basketball player after lengthening = 4.295m/s,

a = acceleration while straightening his legs

s = distance moved during lengthening = 0.310m

v² = u² + 2as

a = (v² - u²)/2s

a = (4.29m/s)² - (0 m/s)²)/(2 × 0.310m)

a = (18.4428 m²/s² - 0 m²/s²)/(0.62 m)

a = (18.4428 m²/s²/(0.62 m)

a = 29.746m/s²

c) The force (in N) he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 106 kg. N

Force= mass x acceleration.

F = 106 kg X 29.746m/s²

F = 3,153.076 rounded to 3,153N
