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.

For thermometers to read temperatures correctly they must be

madam [21]

For thermometers to read temperatures correctly, they must be immersed in the substance being measured while reading the temperature. When they are taken out the substance, there is a possibility that the fluid inside would change its level due to the sudden change in the temperature. Thus, giving you an erroneous reading of the temperature.

A man 6 feet tall walks at a rate of 5 feet per second away from a light that is 15 feet above the ground. When he is 10 feet fr

harina [27]

Answer:

$\frac{25}{3}ft/s$

Explanation:

Height of man= 6ft

Height of light=1 5ft

Let BC=x and CD=y

BD=x+y

Triangle ABD and ECD are similar

When two triangles are similar then the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

$\frac{AB}{EC}=\frac{BD}{CD}$

$\frac{15}{6}=\frac{x+y}{y}$

$\frac{5}{2}=\frac{x+y}{y}$

$5y=2x+2y$

$5y-2y=2x$

$3y=2x$

Differentiate w.r.t t

$2\frac{dx}{dt}=3\frac{dy}{dt}$

We have $\frac{dx}{dt}=5ft/s$

Substitute the value then we get

$2\times 5=3\frac{dy}{dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{2\times 5}{3}=10/3ft/s$

Rate at which the tip of shadow is moving= $\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{dy}{dt}$

Rate at which the tip of shadow is moving= $5+\frac{10}{3}=\frac{15+10}{3}ft/s$

Rate at which the tip of shadow is moving= $\frac{25}{3}ft/s$

Which of the following statements about Ohm's Law is true? A. Increasing the voltage decreases current. B. Keeping the same volt

Luden [163]

The correct answer is option D

The Ohm's Law states that current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across the conductor.

Current =voltage/ resistance

The resistance causes hindrance in the path of the current and does not allows it to flow so, we must reduce the resistance to increase the flow of current in the conducting wire.
