Motion of solids, liquids, and gases may be compared with the motion of marbles in a tray: molecules of solids do not move one relative to each other, like the marbles in a tray full, molecules of liquids are like marbles in a tray with many marbles but no full, and molecules in gases are like a few marbles in a tray.

As you can imagine, as the tray has less empty space (the molecules are closer and tighter) the marbles cannot move freely, which is like the molecules of a solids which cannot move one relative to each other; when the tray has some room to move, the marbles can move better, which is like the molecules of a liquid, and when there is plenty space for marbles to move in the tray is like the molecules of gases which move freely without interacting among them.

Consider a coin which is tossed straight up into the air. After it is released it moves upward, reaches its highest point and fa
avanturin [10]

Answer:

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE

Explanation:

We may have noticed that a body thrown upward in air falls back down again after attaining a particular height. The object was able to fall down back due to the effect of gravity acting on it. If there are no force of gravity acting on the body, the body will not fall back but rather disappears into the thin air.

A coin tossed upward in the air which falls back down when released is therefore under the influence of gravity i.e GRAVITATIONAL FORCE while it moves upward after it is released

A truck loaded with sand accelerates along a highway. The driving force on the truck remains constant. What happens to the accel
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Acceleration will increase.

Explanation:

The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:

F = ma

We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.

There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.

Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.

So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.

A combination lock has a 1.3-cm-diameter knob that is part of the dial you turn to unlock the lock. To turn that knob, you twist
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

0.04225 Nm

Explanation:

N = Force applied = 5 N

\mu = Coefficient of static friction = 0.65

d = Diameter of knob = 1.3 cm

r = Radius of knob = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.3}{2}=0.65\ cm

Force is given by

F=N\mu\\\Rightarrow F=5\times 0.65\\\Rightarrow F=3.25\ N

When we multiply force and radius we get torque

Torque on thumb

\tau_t=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau_t=3.25\times 0.0065\\\Rightarrow \tau_t=0.021125\ Nm

Torque on forefinger

\tau_f=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=3.25\times 0.0065\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=0.021125\ Nm

The total torque is given by

\tau=\tau_t+\tau_f\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.021125+0.021125\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.04225\ Nm

The most torque that exerted on the knob is 0.04225 Nm
