Which best explains why the shapes of a liquid can change

Physics

Nikitich [7]3 years ago

The shape of a liquid can change because of the bonds between its atoms. Atoms in a liquid are loosely bonded, allowing them to roll over one another but not completely escape one another. In contrast, the atoms in a solid are so closely packed together that they can only vibrate in place, while the atoms in a gas have such little attraction between them that they fly in every direction and do not stay near one another at all. In a liquid, the atoms still stay close to one another, but are able to move, changing the overall shape of the liquid.

Hope this helps!

The shape of a liquid can change because the atoms in it are not close together to form a solid, they flow freely.

A 0.5 m3 container is filled with a fluid whose specific volume is 0.001 m3/kg. At standard gravitational acceleration, the cont
xenn [34]

Answer: the contents of this container weighs 4905 kg.m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

volume of a container V = 0.5 m³

we know that standard gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s²

specific volume of liquid filled in the container v = 0.001 m³/kg

now we express the equation for weight of the container.

W = mg

W = (pV)g

W = Vg / ν

so we substitute

W =  (0.5 m³)(9.81 m/s ) / 0.001 m³/kg

W = 4.905 / 0.001

W = 4905 kg.m/s²

Therefore, the contents of this container weighs 4905 kg.m/s²

The pulley system below uses a gasoline engine to raise a drill head up through a smooth drill pipe. The engine provides a const
polet [3.4K]

NB: The diagram of the pulley system is not shown but the information provided is sufficient to answer the question

Answer:

Power = 2702.56 W

Explanation:

Let the power consumed be P

Energy expended = E = mgh

height, h = 5 m

E = 80 * 9.8 * 5

E = 3920 J

Power = \frac{Energy}{time}

To calculate the time, t

From F = ma

F = 900 N

900 = 80 a

a = 900/80

a = 11.25 m/s²

From the equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5at^{2}

The drill head starts from rest, u = 0 m/s

5 = 0 * t + (0.5*11.25*t^{2} )\\5 = 5.625t^{2}\\t^{2} = 5/5.625\\t^{2} = 0.889\\t = 0.943 s

Power, P = E/t

P = 3920/0.0.943

P = 4157.79 W

But Efficiency, E = 0.65

P = 0.65 * 4157.79

Power = 2702.56 W
