The force decreases by a factor of 4, because 4 is 2-squared. (C).

And they don't have to be "large" masses. The force behaves exactly the same between the lint in your pocket and a speck of dust on a table in the house across the street.

A horizontal clothesline is tied between 2 poles, 12 meters apart. When a mass of 4 kilograms is tied to the middle of the cloth
Olegator [25]

Answer:

T=26.03 N

Explanation:

Given that

Distance between poles = 12 m

Mass of block m= 4 kg

Sag distance = 5 m

Lets take tension in the clothesline is T.

The component of tension in vertical direction will be T cosθ.

By force balancing

2 T cosθ = 40

here tan\theta =\dfrac{5}{6}

θ=39.80°

2 T cos39.8 = 40

T=26.03 N

Why does the entropy of a gas increase when it expands into a vacuum? Why does the entropy of a gas increase when it expands int
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The entropy of a gas increases when it expands into a vacuum because the number of possible states increases .

Explanation:

When a gas expand in a vacuum, the molecules of the gases vibrates very fast and starting moving with higher velocity in random directions which means the level of disorder in the gases increases.

Now the possible state of the gas molecule increases such as the particle can be located at different position due to increased randomness.

<u>Entropy is the measure of this randomness and thus with this increased randomness entropy also increases.</u>

Select all that apply to electrons and energy levels. - Scientists have not yet determined exactly why electrons do not collapse
Elenna [48]

Answer:

- The limitation of the maximum number of electrons in a given energy level can be used to account for the periodic recurrence of properties as the number of electrons increases.

Explanation:

First - Scientists have not yet determined exactly why electrons do not collapse into the nucleus. FALSE: Scientists do know why electrons do not collapse. Since the beginins of quantum mechanics it's known that the energy at small scales is quantized, that means there only can be certain values meaning that the energy do not change continously. In the case of the electron, it can only have certain levels of energy, that means they do not radiate continously as the go arround the atom, instead it is only allowed to have a certain amount of energy in a given state therefore it can not lose energy continously collapsing into the nucleus.

Second - Electrons cannot be located between levels except when they are in the process of moving. FALSE: We can not say that a electron moves between energy levels, it only can exist in any of the levels, but never in between. Also, the electron in any of its possible energy lavels can not be located with complete certainty due to the uncertainty principle.

Fourth - Electrons have any random energy. FALSE:  as exposed above the electrons can only have certain cuantized energy levels acordinly to the rules of quantum physics

Fifth - Electrons can be found between energy levels. FALSE: Like said before we can not say that a electron exists between energy levels, it only can exist in any of the allowed levels, but never in between.

Thirth (correct one) :  - The limitation of the maximum number of electrons in a given energy level can be used to account for the periodic recurrence of properties as the number of electrons increases. TRUE: the maximum number of electrons allowed in a given energy level directly determines the tipe of bond an atom can made with another (this due to the number of electrons in the higest energy level), so for example the elements in the left of a given row of the periodic table tend to have ionic bonds, but in the other hand the elements on right side tend form more covalent bonds. And this characteristic directly correllate with diferent properties of the elements.

Which statements describe a situation with a displacement of zero? Check all that apply.traveling south for 30 miles, then turni
cluponka [151]

Answer:

• riding on a Ferris wheel whose entrance and exit are the same

• walking around the block, starting from and ending at the same house

• running exactly one lap around a racetrack

Explanation:

Displacement simply means the.change in position of an object. In a situation whereby the initial and final position are thesame, the displacement will be zero.

The statements that describe a situation with a displacement of zero include:

• riding on a Ferris wheel whose entrance and exit are the same

• walking around the block, starting from and ending at the same house

• running exactly one lap around a racetrack
