Inertia is the property of all matter by which it tends to remain
in constant, uniform motion unless acted on by external force.

Inertia: Objects tend to move at the same speed and direction or, if at rest, stay at rest. A force has to be applied to overcome inertia. An objects inertia is determined by the mass of the object.

Using an example, explain how small atoms are.
Aliun [14]
Unlike a ball, an atom doesn't have a fixed radius. The radius of an atom can only be found by measuring the distance between the nuclei of two touching atoms, and then halving that distance... Does that answer your question?

What is the relationship between matter and energy as it changes states of matter (phase changes?)
AlekseyPX

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.

The distance between a proton and an electron is cut in half. How does the force of attraction change?
miv72 [106K]

According to Coulomb’s Law, the force will quadruple.

However…

Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that both proton and electron behave entirely like particles.

The trajectory of the electron will stretch, and its distance from the nucleus will oscilate until is estabilizes again at the original value.

At 0.0 degrees Celsius, a wire cable is 410.0000 meters in length. When the temperature increased to 30.0 degrees Celsius, the w
zzz [600]

Answer: The coefficient of expansion for the wire 0.000028 (^oC)^{-1}.

Explanation:

Original length of the wire = L= 410.0000 m

Initial temperature =T_1=0.0^oC

Final Temperature = T_2=30.0^oC

Increase in Length of the wire = \Delta L=0.3444 m

\frac{\Delta L}{L}=\alpha _{L}\times \Delta T=\alpha _{L}\times (T_2-T_1)

\alpha _L=\frac{\Delta L}{L\times (T_2-T_1)}=\frac{0.3444 m}{410.0000 m\times (30.0^oC-0.0^oC)}

\alpha _L=0.000028 (^oC)^{-1}

The coefficient of expansion for the wire 0.000028 (^oC)^{-1}.
