Why does a solid keep its shape

Physics
1 answer:
garri49 [273]4 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.

In getting ready to slam-dunk the ball, a basketball player starts from rest and sprints to a speed of 4.82 m/s in 1.98 s. Assu
Ann [662]
Great equation: distance = rate*time

So, distance run = 4.82 meters/second * 1.98 seconds = 9.5436 meters (round according to whatever the problem specifies, usually to the tenths or hundredths is sufficient).

This makes sense if you think about it since you are multiplying seconds with meters over seconds. The seconds cancel out, leaving you only the meters.

Far from any other masses, two masses, m1 and m2, are interacting gravitationally. The value for the mass of m1 suddenly doubles
NNADVOKAT [17]
<span>It also doubles The gravitational force between two masses is expressed as: F = G*m1*m2/r^2 where F = Force between the two masses m1 = Mass of object 1 m2 = Mass of object 2 r = distance between centers of object 1 and object 2 G = Gravitational constant The exact values of G, m1, m2, and r don't matter since all except for m1 is held constant. And when m1 suddenly doubles, the force attracting the two object to each other also doubles.</span>

7)An object is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 3 m/s. What is its acceleration at its maximum height?
ser-zykov [4K]
C.
It is a motion with uniform acceleration, meaning that the acceleration will not change.
The object is thrown upwards with a positive velocity. This shows that the upward direction is positive. The object will decelerate due to gravity at a magnitude of 9.81 m/s2. Therefore, the acceleration is -9.81 m/s2.
Note that even though the velocity of the object is momentarily 0 m/s at maximum height, there is still a constant acceleration.
This allows the object first decelerate upwards, then change direction at max height, and finally accelerate downwards. So in this case, the acceleration is always negative and unchanged.

At a distance of 8 m, the sound intensity of one speaker is 66 dB. If we were to place 3 speakers in a circle of radius 8 m, wha
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

dβ = 70. 77 dβ

Explanation:

The intensity of sound in decibels is

         dβ = 10 log I/I₀

let's look for the intensity of this signal

         I / I₀ = 10 dβ/10

         I / I₀ = 3.981 10⁶

the threshold intensity of sound for humans is I₀ = 1 10⁻¹² W / m²

         I = 3.981 10 ⁶ 1 10⁻¹²

         I = 3,981 10⁻⁶ W / m²

It is indicated that 3 cornets are placed in the circle, for which total intensity is

        I_total - 3 I

        I_total = 3  3,981 10⁻⁶

        I_total = 11,943 10⁻⁶ W / m²

let's reduce to decibels

      dβ = 10 log (11,943 10⁻⁶/1 10⁻¹²)

      dβ = 10  7.077

      dβ = 70. 77 dβ
