Answer:

The correct answer is;

Change of phase.

Explanation:

When the physical state in which a substance exists in nature changes to another physical state such as a change from solid state to a liquid stat or from a liquid state to a gaseous state, the substance is said to have undergone a phase change, or phase transformation.

The state of a substance will change, depending on the surrounding temperature and the applied pressure and the energy required for the substance to change its state is known as latent heat.

The observed plateaus are periods the latent heat is absorbed to completely change the phase of the substance.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

this measurement if feet is: 2.624672 ft

Explanation:

Notice that 80 cm can be expressed as 0.8 meters, and In order to convert from meters to feet, one needs to multiply the meter measurement times 3.28084. Therefore:

0.80 m can be written in feet as: 0.80 * 3.28084 feet = 2.624672 feet

You paddle a conoe with a force of 325 N. You and the canoe have a combined mass of 250 kg. What is the acceleration of the cano

Brums [2.3K]

$f = ma$

Rearranging it, we get;

$a = \frac{f}{m}$
Where a is the acceleration, f is the force, and m is the mass

$a = \frac{325}{250}$
$a = 1.3 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }$

Question Part Points Submissions Used A car is stopped for a traffic signal. When the light turns green, the car accelerates, in

olya-2409 [2.1K]

(a) 328.6 kg m/s

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger in the car is equal to the change in momentum of the passenger:

$I=\Delta p = m\Delta v$

where

m = 62.0 kg is the mass of the passenger

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity of the car (and the passenger), which is

$\Delta v = 5.30 m/s - 0 = 5.30 m/s$

So, the linear impulse experienced by the passenger is

$I=(62.0 kg)(5.30 m/s)=328.6 kg m/s$

(b) 404.7 N

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger is also equal to the product between the average force and the time interval:

$I=F \Delta t$

where in this case

$I=328.6 kg m/s$ is the linear impulse

$\Delta t = 0.812 s$ is the time during which the force is applied

Solving the equation for F, we find the magnitude of the average force experienced by the passenger:

$F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{328.6 kg m/s}{0.812 s}=404.7 N$

Bare free charges do not remain stationary when close together. To illustrate this, calculate the acceleration of two isolated p

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Separation between the protons, $r=3.73\ nm=3.73\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Charge on protons, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Mass of protons, $m=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

We need to find the acceleration of two isolated protons. It can be calculated by equating electric force between protons and force due to motion as :

$ma=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}$

$a=\dfrac{kq^2}{mr^2}$

$a=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (3.73\times 10^{-9})^2}$

$a=9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of two isolated protons is $9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
