What is the difference between flashing point, boiling point and melting point

sp2606 [1]

<h3><u>Answer and explanation;</u></h3>

<u>Melting point</u> is defined as the temperature at which solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium. It is the temperature at which a solid changes state from solid to liquid at atmospheric pressure.
<u>Boiling poin</u>t is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure. It is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid into a gas.
<u>The flash point </u>of a flammable liquid or volatile liquid is the lowest temperature at which it can form an ignitable mixture in air. At this temperature the vapor may cease to burn when the source of ignition is removed.

Answer:

$\Delta U = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})$

Explanation:

The electrostatic potential energy is given by the following formula

$U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

Now, we will apply this formula to both cases:

$U_1 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_1^2}\\U_2 = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qq}{r_2^2}$

So, the change in the potential energy is

$\Delta U = U_2 - U_1 = \frac{Qq}{4\pi\epsilon_0}(\frac{1}{r_2^2}-\frac{1}{r_1^2})$

A person travels by car from one city to another with different constant speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 35.0 min

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Explanation:

Solution:

Let the time be

t1=35min = 0.58min

t2=10min=0.166min

t3=45min= 0.75min

t4=35min= 0.58min

let the velocities be

v1=100km/h

v2=55km/h

v3=35km/h

a. Determine the average speed for the trip. km/h

first we have to solve for the distance

S=s1+s2+s3

S= v1t1+v2t2+v3t3

S= 100*0.58+55*0.166+35*0.75

S=58+9.13+26.25

S=93.38km

V=S/t1+t2+t3+t4

V=93.38/0.58+0.166+0.75+0.58

V=93.38/2.076

V=44.98km/h

b. the distance is 93.38km
