Answer:

An object's inertia tends to resist any change in its state of rest or motion. If a carpet is beaten with a stick then the carpet begins to move. But, the particles of dust are trying to resist their state of rest.

what volume of alcohol will have the same mass as 4.2m^3 of petrol? (density of alcohol 0.4kg/m^3 and petrol is 0.3kg/m^3)

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

3.15m³

Explanation:

To solve this problem, let us first find the mass of the petrol from the given dimension.

Mass = density x volume

Volume of petrol = 4.2m³

Density of petrol = 0.3kgm⁻³

Mass of petrol = 4.2 x 0.3 = 1.26kg

So;

We can now find the volume of the alcohol

Volume of alcohol = $\frac{mass}{density}$

Mass of alcohol = 1.26kg

Density of alcohol = 0.4kgm⁻³

Volume of alcohol = $\frac{1.26}{0.4}$ = 3.15m³

where the units of x are length and the numbers 2.6 and 5.1 have appropriate units so that U(x) has units of energy. What is the

KiRa [710]

Answer:

x = 1.00486 m

Explanation:

The complete question is:

" The potential energy between two atoms in a particular molecule has the form U(x) =(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4 where the units of x are length and the num- bers 2.6 and 5.1 have appropriate units so that U(x) has units of energy. What is the equilibrium separation of the atoms (that is the distance at which the force between the atoms is zero)? "

Solution:

- The correlation between force F and energy U is given as:

F = - dU / dx

F = - d[(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4] / dx

F = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5

- The equilibrium separation distance between atoms is given when Force F is zero:

0 = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5

0 = 20.8 - 20.4*x^4

x^4 = 20.8/20.4

x = ( 20.8/20.4 )^0.25

x = 1.00486 m
