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.

Please show work : A particle with mass 2.00 μg and a charge of – 200 nC has a velocity of 3000 m/s in the x-direction. There is
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

 x =4.5 10⁴ m

Explanation:

To find the distance that the particle moves we must use the equations of motion in one dimension and to find the acceleration of the particle we will use Newton's second law

     m = 2.00 mg (1 g / 1000 ug) (1 Kg / 1000g) = 2.00 10-6 Kg

     q = -200 nc (1C / 10 9 nC) = -200 10-9 C

Let's calculate the acceleration

     F = ma

     F = q E

     a = qE / m

     a = -200 10⁻⁹ 1000 / 2.00 10⁻⁶

     a = 1 10² m / s²

Let's use kinematics to find the distance traveled before stopping, where it has zero speed (Vf = 0)

     Vf² = Vo² -2 a x

     0 = Vo² - 2 a x

     x = Vo² / 2a

     x = 3000²/ 2100

     x =4.5 10⁴ m

This is the distance the particule stop, after this distance in the field accelerates in the opposite direction of the initial

Second part

In this case Newton's second law is applied on the y axis

      F -W = 0

      F = w = mg

      E q = mg

      E = mg / q

      E = 2.00 10⁻⁶ 9.8 / 200 10⁻⁹

      E = 9.8 10⁵ C

       

The direction of the field is such that the force on the particle is up, as the particle has a negative charge, the field must be directed downwards F = qE = (-q) E

An ice skater starts with a velocity of 2.25 m/s in a 50.0 degree direction. After 8.33s, she is moving 4.65 m/s in a 120 degree
Westkost [7]

Answer:

jk

Explanation:

Lets decompose the initial velocity into its components:

Vi  = 2.25  m/s

Vix = Vi x cos(50)

Viy = Vi x sin(50)  = 2.25 x sin(50)  = 1.724

Then decompose the final velocity:

Vf = 4.65

Vfx = Vf x cos(120)  

Vfy = Vf x sin(120)  = 4.65 x sin(120)  = 4.027

After that we can use:

Vfy = Viy + ay*t

ay = (Vfy - Viy)/t

ay = (4.027 - 1.724) / 8.33

ay = 0.276
