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 child whose weight is 235 N slides down a 4.90 m playground slide that makes an angle of 37.0° with the horizontal. The coeffi
Basile [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) First, let's calculate the value of the Friction force, which is given by the formula:

Ff = u*W

As the Friction force has an X component, it would be:

Ff = u*m*g*cosФ

Where m*g is the weight of the child.

Solving for Ff:

Ff = 0.051 * 235cos37 = 9.57 N

Now, to get the energy transferred to thermal energy (or heat) we need to get the Work done, so:

Wf = Ff * d

Wf = 9.57 * 4.9 = 46.9 J

b) We need to get the downslope component of the child weight, which is:

Wy = 235sin37 = 141.43 N

As you can imagine, the gravity also does work, so:

Wg = Wy * d

Wg = 141.43 * 4.9 = 693 J

Now, let's get the kinetic energy, which can be obtained by this expression:

ΔKe = Wg - Wf

ΔKe = 693 - 46.9 = 646.1 J

The formula for kinetic energy is:

Ke = 1/2 m*V^2

We have the innitial speed which is 0.355 m/s, and the mass can be obtained by m*g so:

Fw= m*g ----> m = Fw/g

m = 235 / 9.8 = 23.97 kg

so the innitial energy is:

Ke = 1/2 * 23.97 * (0.355)^2

Ke = 1.51 J

This could be Ke1, so to get Ke2:

ΔKe = Ke2 - Ke1

Ke2 = Δke + Ke1

Ke2 = 646.1 + 1.51 = 647,61 J

Finally, the speed at the bottom would be:

v = √2Ke/m

v = √2*647.61/23.97

v = 7.35 m/s

Q1: A cyclist brakes to a stop. His thinking distance was 1m and his braking distance was 3m. What was his overall stopping dist
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

1.) 4m

2.) 37 m

3.) 62m

4.) 2.5 s

Explanation:

1.) Given that the

Thinking distance = 1m

Breaking distance = 3m

Stopping distance = breaking distance + thinking distance

Stopping distance = 1 + 3 = 4m

2.) Given that the

Stopping distance = 52 m

Thinking distance = 15m

Breaking distance = 52 - 15 = 37m

3.) The stopping distance = 76m

Thinking distance = 14m

Breaking distance = 76 - 14 = 62m

It take the brakes 62m to slow the car down to a stop.

4.) Given that a lorry travels 28m when stopping from a speed of 4m/s. If its braking distance was 18m, what was the driver’s reaction time?

Thinking = stopping distance - braking distance

Thinking distance = 28 - 18 = 10m

Speed = distance/time

4 = 10/reaction time

Reaction time = 10/4

Reaction time = 2.5 s

A balloon drifts 140 m toward the west in 45 s; then the wind suddenly changes and the balloon flies 90 m toward the east in the
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

1 ) 140 m west in 45 s .

2 ) 90 m east in 25 s .

a )

distance travelled in first 45 s = 140 m

b ) distance travelled in next 25 s = 90 m

c ) Total distance travelled = 140 m + 90 m

= 230 m

d ) average speed in first 45 s

= distance in 45 s  45

= 140 / 45 = 3.11 m /s

e ) average speed in next 25 s

distance in 25 s / 25

= 90 / 25 = 3.6 m /s

f ) average in entire trip

=  total distance / total time

= (140 + 90) / ( 25 + 45 )

= 3.28 m /s

g )

displacement in first 45 s = 140 m towards west

h )

displacement in next 25 s = 90 m towards east

i )

total displacement = 140 - 90

= 50 m towards west .
