Why do solids have a definite shape?

2 answers:

5 0

Any matter that is a solid has a definite shape and a definite volume. The molecules in a solid are in fixed positions and are close together. Although the molecules can still vibrate, they cannot move from one part of the solid to another part. As a result, a solid does not easily change its shape or its volume

How much charge does a 9.0 v battery transfer from the negative to the positive terminal while doing 39 j of work?

sdas [7]

The work done by the battery is equal to the charge transferred during the process times the potential difference between the two terminals of the battery:
$W=q \Delta V$
where q is the charge and $\Delta V$ is the potential difference.

In our problem, the work done is W=39 J while the potential difference of the battery is $\Delta V = 9.0 V$ , so we can find the charge transferred by the battery:
$q= \frac{W}{\Delta V}= \frac{39 J}{9.0 V}=4.33 C$

A cord of mass 0.65 kg is stretched between two supports 28 m apart. if the tension in the cord is 150 n, 2 how long will it tak

MaRussiya [10]

Ans: Time taken by a pulse to travel from one support to the other = 0.348s

Explanation:
First you need to find out the speed of the wave.

Since
Speed = v = $\sqrt{ \frac{T}{\mu} }$

Where
T = Tension in the cord = 150N
μ = Mass per unit length = mass/Length = 0.65/28 = 0.0232 kg/m

So
v = $\sqrt{ \frac{150}{0.0232} }$ = 80.41 m/s

Now the time-taken by the wave = t = Length/speed = 28/80.41=0.348s
