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.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The length of his shadow is decreasing at a rate of 1.13 m/s

Explanation:

The ray of light hitting the ground forms a right angled triangle of height H, which is the height of the building and width, D which is the distance of the tip of the shadow from the building.

Also, the height of the man, h which is parallel to H forms a right-angled triangle of width, L which is the length of the shadow.

By similar triangles,

H/D = h/L

L = hD/H

Also, when the man is 4 m from the building, the length of his shadow is L = D - 4

So, D - 4 = hD/H

H(D - 4) = hD

H = hD/(D - 4)

Since h = 2 m and D = 12 m,

H = 2 m × 12 m/(12 m - 4 m)

H = 24 m²/8 m

H = 3 m

Since L = hD/H

and h and H are constant, differentiating L with respect to time, we have

dL/dt = d(hD/H)/dt

dL/dt = h(dD/dt)/H

Now dD/dt = velocity(speed) of man = -1.7 m/s ( negative since he is moving towards the building in the negative x - direction)

Since h = 2 m and H = 3 m,

dL/dt = h(dD/dt)/H

dL/dt = 2 m(-1.7 m/s)/3 m

dL/dt = -3.4/3 m/s

dL/dt = -1.13 m/s

So, the length of his shadow is decreasing at a rate of 1.13 m/s

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Height from ground is 8 m where string will break

Explanation:

Let the string makes some angle with the vertical after some instant of time

So here we have

T - mg cos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}

T = mg cos\theta + \frac{mv^2}{R}

now by energy conservation we have

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mg(R cos\theta)

mv^2 = 2mgR cos\theta

T = mg cos\theta + 2mgcos\theta

T = 3mg cos\theta

For string break down we have

T = 2mg = 3mgcos\theta

cos\theta = \frac{2}{3}

Now height from the ground is given as

h = R - Rcos\theta

h = 24 - 24(\frac{2}{3})

h = 8 cm

love history [14]

Answer:

<u><em>Rate of dissolving compounds:</em></u>

If we increase the temperature of the solution, then the dissolving compound would dissolve more easily.

<u><em>Boiling Point of Compounds:</em></u>

If the inter-molecular forces of any compound is really strong, then the boiling point of the compound would be really high.
