Why does a solid keep its shape

Physics
1 answer:
garri49 [273]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Solids can hold their shape because their molecules are tightly packed together. Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want. The molecules in a solid are stuck in a specific structure or arrangement of atoms.

A bicycle wheel rotates at a constant 25 rev/min. What is true about its angular acceleration?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The angular acceleration is zero

Explanation:

When an object is in rotational motion, it has a certain angular velocity, which is the rate of displacement of its angular position.

This angular velocity can change or remain constant - this is given by the angular acceleration, which is:

\alpha =\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta \omega is the change in angular velocity

\Delta t is the time elapsed

Therefore, the angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity.

In this problem, the bicycle rotates at a constant angular velocity of

\omega=25 rev/min

This means that the change in angular velocity is zero:

\Delta \omega=0

And so, that the angular acceleration is zero:

\alpha=0

Which of Newton's laws of motion describes the motion of an object that has a net<br> force of ON?
algol [13]

Newton's first and second laws of motion both do, but I think the one you're looking for is: <em>The First Law of Motion</em>.  That description is a little more direct.

It says that if an object is not acted on by a net external force, then it continues in "constant, uniform motion".

Increase the slit width to 1050 nm. What happens to the width of the central bright fringe? (Always remember to wait a few secon
djyliett [7]

Answer:

b.

Explanation:

In case of Single Slit, diffraction will occur.

Then In Single slit Diffraction, width of central fringe is

x_c= 2D\lambda/a&#10;

where D= distance b/w screen and slit

a= slit width

\lambda = wavelength

Thus if Screen width increases keeping other factors same then width of central fringe becomes narrower as

x_c\propto 1/a

On increasing the slit width the central bright fringe width The width of the central bright fringe becomes narrower.
