Why can’t solids flow

Physics
1 answer:
Annette [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

basically they have too much mass in them

Explanation:

They are held tightly together by strong forces of attraction. They are held in fixed positions but they do vibrate. Because the particles don't move, solids have a definite shape and volume, and can't flow. Because the particles are already packed closely together, solids can't easily be compressed.

claculate the pressure exerted by the water on the bottom of a deep dam of 12m from its surface .(density of water =1000kg/m sqa
Rudiy27

Explanation:

We know that,

hydrostatic \: pressure (p) =   \alpha hg

Where,

\alpha  = density \: of \: water \:  = 1000

h = Height at which pressure is to be calculated

p = 1000 \times 12 \times 9.8 = 117600 \:

A nautical mile is 6076 feet, and 1 knot is a unit of speed equal to 1 nautical mile/hour. How fast is a boat going 8 knots goin
mezya [45]

Answer:

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.

Explanation:

given,

1  nautical mile = 6076 ft

1 knot = 1 nautical mile /hour

1 knot = 6076 ft/hr

speed of boat = 8 knots

 8 knots = 8 nautical mile /hour

               =8 \times \dfrac{6076\ ft}{1\nautical\ mile}\times \dfrac{1\ hour}{60\times 60\ s}

               = 13.50 ft/s

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.
