The average speed is the distance per time ratio (a scalar quantity) Speed is ignorant of direction. Velocity is a vector quantity. It is aware of direction.

Gases are more prone to expansion and contraction than liquid . The biggest change in the volume in your thermometer was probabl
KiRa [710]

Answer:

In the air

Explanation:

There are three states of matter:

- Solids: in solids, the particles are tightly bond together by strong intermolecular forces, so they cannot move freely - they can only vibrate around their fixed position

- Liquids: in liquids, particles are more free to move, however there are still some intermolecular forces keeping them close to each other

- Gases: in gases, particles are completely free to move, as the intermolecular forces between them are negligible

For this reason, it is generally easier to compress/expand the volume of a gas with respect to the volume of a liquid.

In this problem, we are comparing water (which is a liquid) with air (which is a gas). From what we said above, this means that the change in volume is larger in the air rather than in the water.

What is the advantage in solving motion problems using energy conservation principles instead of free body diagrams
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

However, the disadvantages are:

1. Many atimes for some motion prolems, free-body diagrams has to be drawn many times so to have enough equations to solve for the unknowns. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

2. In situations where we need to find the internal forces acting on an object, we can't truly solve such problems using free-body diagram as it captures external forces. This is not the same with energy conservation principles.

Explanation:

Often times the ideal method to use in solving motion problem related questions are mostly debated.

Energy conservation principles applies to isolated systems are useful when object changes their positions in moving upward or downward converts its potential energy due to gravity for kinetic energy, or the other way round. When energy in a system or motion remains constant that is energy is neither created nor destroyed, it can therefore be easier to calculate other unknown paramters like in the motion problem velocity, distance bearing it in mind that energy can only change from one type to another.

On the other hand, free body diagram which is a visual representation of all the forces acting on an object including their directions has so many advantages in solving motion related problems which include finding relationship between force and motion in identifying the force acting on a body.

When you strike two tuning forks simultaneously, you hear three beats per second. The frequency of the first tuning fork is 440
tekilochka [14]

Answer:4

Explanation:

Given

Frequency of beats is 3 beats per second

Frequency of first tuning fork is f_1=440\ Hz

Beat frequency is difference in the frequency of tuning forks i.e.

either f_1-f_2 or f_2-f_1 =3

so f_2=3+440=443\ Hz

or

f_2=440-3=437\ Hz

so there is not enough information given to decide.

An open rectangular tank 1 m wide and 2 m long contains gasoline to a depth of 1 m. If the height of the tank sides is 1.5 m, wh
lara [203]

Answer:

a_y = 4.9\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given,

Width of rectangular tank, b = 1 m

Length of the tank, l = 2 m

height of the tank, d = 1.5 m

Depth of gasoline on the tank, h = 1 m

\dfrac{dz}{dy}=-\dfrac{1.5-1}{1}

\dfrac{dz}{dy}=-0.5

The differential form with the acceleration

\dfrac{dz}{dy}=\dfrac{-a_y}{a_z + g}

-0.5=-\dfrac{a_y}{a_z + g}

acceleration in z-direction = 0 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

a_y is the horizontal acceleration of the gasoline.

0.5=\dfrac{a_y}{0 + 9.8}

a_y = 9.8\times 0.5

a_y = 4.9\ m/s^2

Hence, Horizontal acceleration of the gasoline before gasoline would spill is equal to 4.9 m/s²
