If the forces are equal and in opposite directions, the net force will equal zero.
Consider a tug-of-war team. If they are pulling with equal forces against each other, the red cloth on the rope will not move.
<em>F = ma
</em>
The cloth is not moving, so <em>a = </em>0 and the net force <em>F = </em>0.
Answer:
Explanation:
The temperature and amount of gas are constant, so we can use Boyle’s Law.
Data:
Calculations:
The -COOH is bonded to a long chain of hydrocarbons in a fatty acid.
A hydrocarbon chain is comprised of both carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atoms. The 'acid' part is made up of the -COOH portion, whereas the 'fatty' part is made up of the long hydrocarbon chain that it is attached to.
Three states of matter
Solids, liquids and gases are three states of matter. In solids, the particles are tightly packed together. In liquids, the particles have more movement, while in gases, they are spread out. Particles in chemistry can be atoms, ions or molecules.
It is important to understand the particle nature of matter. The particles that make up matter are not ‘small bits of solid’ or ‘small drops of liquid’ but atoms and molecules. The physical characteristics of those atoms and molecules decide its state.
