What properties does a gas have in terms of shape and volume

1 answer:

7 0

Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. The following figure illustrates the microscopic differences.

Microscopic view of a gas Microscopic view of a liquid. Microscopic view of a solid.
Microscopic view of a gas. Microscopic view of a liquid. Microscopic view of a solid.
Note that:

Particles in a:
gas are well separated with no regular arrangement.
liquid are close together with no regular arrangement.
solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
Particles in a:
gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds.
liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other.
solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.
Liquids and solids are often referred to as condensed phases because the particles are very close together.
The following table summarizes properties of gases, liquids, and solids and identifies the microscopic behavior responsible for each property.

What do you mean by acceleration due to gravity?

likoan [24]

It is the acceleration of an object in free fall

Explanation:

When an object is in free fall, it is subjected only to one force: the force of gravity, which pulls the object downward, with a magnitude (near the Earth's surface) which is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is the mass of the object

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

We can apply Newton's second law to the object in free fall:

$F=ma$

where

F is the net force on the object

a is the acceleration of the object

m is the mass

However, since there is only the force of gravity acting on the object, the net force is equal to the force of gravity: so we can equate the two equations, obtaining that

$mg = ma\\\rightarrow a = g$

Which means that the acceleration of an object in free fall (acted upon the force of gravity only) is equal to the acceleration due to gravity, $g=9.8 m/s^2$ .

If a rocket travels 35,200 miles in 2 hours, what is its speed?

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Given:

Distance = 35200 miles, time = 2 hr.

So we know = 35200/ 2, = 17600 miles / hr.

A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius R2 around a spherical planet of radius R1 made of a material with density

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

a) K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂ , b) U = - G m M / r

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation is

F = G m M / r²

Part A

Let's use Newton's second law

F = m a

The acceleration is centripetal

a = v² / R₂

G m M / R₂² = m v² / R₂

v² = G M / R₂

They give us the density of the planet

ρ = M / V

V = 4/3 π R₁³

M = ρ V

M = ρ 4/3 π R₁³

v² = 4/3 π G ρ R₁³ / R₂

K = ½ m v²

K = ½ m (4/3 π G ρ R₁³ / R₂)

K = 2/3 π G m ρ R₁³ / R₂

Part B

Potential energy and strength are related

F = - dU / dr

∫ dU = - ∫ F. dr

The force was directed towards the center and the vector r outwards therefore there is an angle of 180º between the two cos 180 = -1

U- U₀ = G m M ∫ dr / r²

U - U₀ = G m M (- r⁻¹)

We evaluate for

U - U₀ = -G m M (1 / $r_{f}$ - 1 / $r_{i}$ )

They indicate that for ri = ∞ U₀ = 0

U = - G m M / r

A 24 kg crate is moving at a constant speed because it is being pushed with a force of 53n. What would be the coefficient of kin

____ [38]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor can be calculated using the formula μ = Ff / N, where Ff is the frictional force, N is the normal force, and μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

In this case, the normal force is equal to the weight of the crate, which is 24 kg * 9.8 m/s2 = 235.2 N. The frictional force can be calculated using the formula Ff = μ * N, where μ is the coefficient of kinetic friction and N is the normal force.

If we substitute the values for N and Ff into the formula for the coefficient of kinetic friction, we get:μ = 53 N / 235.2 N = 0.225

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the floor is 0.225.
