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.

Why is atomaspheric pressure greater at the surface on Earth

andrew-mc [135]

Hello!

Because as you get closer to the surface of the earth, the more air that is on top of you. At the top of the atmosphere, there is less air, and everything is a vacuum, where you have no weight. When you get close to the earth, the weight of the air builds until it when you're at the very lowest point of the earths surface, all the air in the atmosphere above you is pressing down.

Thank You!

The density of gasoline is 730 kg/m3 at 0°C. Its average coefficient of volume expansion is 9.60 10-4(°C)−1. Assume 1.00 gal of

kipiarov [429]

Answer: 0.4911 kg

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$\rho_{0\°C}= 730 kg/m^{3}$ is the density of gasoline at $0\°C$

$\beta=9.60(10)^{-4} \°C^{-1}$ is the average coefficient of volume expansion

We need to find the extra kilograms of gasoline.

So, firstly we need to transform the volume of gasoline from gallons to $m^{3}$ :

$V=8.50 gal \frac{0.00380 m^{3}}{1 gal}=0.0323 m^{3}$ (1)

Knowing density is given by: $\rho=\frac{m}{V}$ , we can find the mass $m_{1}$ of 8.50 gallons:

$m_{1}=\rho_{0\°C}V$

$m_{1}=(730 kg/m^{3})(0.0323 m^{3})=23.579 kg$ (2)

Now, we have to calculate the factor $f$ by which the volume of gasoline is increased with the temperature, which is given by:

$f=(1+\beta(T_{f}-T_{o}))$ (3)

Where $T_{o}=0\°C$ is the initial temperature and $T_{f}=21.7\°C$ is the final temperature.

$f=(1+9.60(10)^{-4} \°C^{-1}(21.7\°C-0\°C))$ (4)

$f=1.020832$ (5)

With this, we can calculate the density of gasoline at $21.7\°C$ :

$\rho_{21.7\°C}=730 kg/m^{3} f=(730 kg/m^{3})(1.020832)$

$\rho_{21.7\°C}=745.207 kg/m^{3}$ (6)

Now we can calculate the mass of gasoline at this temperature:

$m_{2}=\rho_{21.7\°C}V$ (7)

$m_{2}=(745.207 kg/m^{3})(0.0323 m^{3})$ (8)

$m_{2}=24.070 kg$ (9)

And finally calculate the mass difference $\Delta m$ :

$\Delta m=m_{2}-m_{1}=24.070 kg-23.579 kg$ (10)

$\Delta m=0.4911 kg$ (11) This is the extra mass of gasoline

An organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or their by-products

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

heterotrophs

Explanation:

According to the parameters established by biology, all living beings that require others to feed themselves are considered heterotrophs, that is, they are not able to produce their food within their organism but rather they must consume elements of nature already constituted as food, already synthesized by other organisms. Among the most prominent heterotrophs, all animals, bacteria and humans stand out.

The term heterotroph comes from the Greek, language in which the prefix hetero means different and trophies means food. In this way, the heterotroph is one that feeds on elements other than one, which takes elements from nature, from the surrounding space to feed. While autotrophic beings have the ability to synthesize inorganic elements such as light, water, carbon dioxide and convert them into food; Heterotrophic beings do not have that capacity, so they must consume plants (in the case that they are herbivores) or animals that have already consumed those plants (that is, in the case that they are carnivorous). In other words, animals and humans always need to feed on other living beings, they could never do so only from inorganic elements such as water.
