Identify two factors that determine the state of matter
vova2212 [387]
Two factors determine whether a substance is a solid, a liquid, or a gas: The kinetic energies of the particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) that make up a substance. Kinetic energy tends to keep the particles moving apart. The attractive intermolecular forces between particles that tend to draw the particles together.

What are the average velocity and average acceleration of the tip of a 2.4 cm long hour hand of a clock?
ra1l [238]
A circle has a revolution of 360°. Since there are 12 hour markings, each hour interval has an angle of 30°. In radians, that would be equal to π/6 radians. So, in every 1 hour that passes, it covers π/6 of an angle. So, the angular velocity denoted as ω is π/6 ÷ 1 hour = π/6 rad/h. We can compute the average linear velocity, v, from the relationship:

v = rω, where r is the radius of the circle which is the length of the hour hand
v = (2.4 cm)(π/6 rad/h)
v = 1.257 cm/hour

Therefore, the average velocity is 1.257 cm per hour.

For the average acceleration, it is equal to zero. The hands of the clock move at a constant velocity. Since acceleration is the change of velocity per unit time, there is no change of velocity because it's constant. That's why it is zero.

An airplane flies 20km in a direction 60 degrees north of east, then 30 km straight east, then 10km straight north. How far and
Fed [463]

Answer:

48.4 km, 34.3° north of east

Explanation:

Let's say east is the +x direction and north is the +y direction.

Adding up the x components of the vectors:

x = 20 cos 60 + 30 + 0

x = 40 km

Adding up the y components of the vectors:

y = 20 sin 60 + 0 + 10

y = 27.3 km

The magnitude of the displacement is:

d = √(x² + y²)

d = 48.4 km

The direction is:

θ = atan(y/x)

θ = 34.3° north of east

To make ice, a freezer that is a reverse Carnot engine extracts 37 kJ as heat at -17°C during each cycle, with coefficient of pe
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

a) 6.4 kJ

b) 43.4 kJ

Explanation:

a)

Q_{a} = Heat absorbed = 37 kJ

β  = Coefficient of performance = 5.8

W = Work done

Heat absorbed is given as

Q_{a} = β W

37 = (5.8) W

W = 6.4 kJ

b)

Q  = work per cycle required

Q  = Q_{a} + W

Q  = 37 + 6.4

Q  = 43.4 kJ
