A. Molecular solids tend to have lower melting points than Ionic so it would be Ionic if it weren't for Molecular.

Answer:

A. Molecular solids

Explanation:

Bonds between two or more molecules is the force of attraction between the molecules. If the force of attraction is strong between the molecules then the matter must be solid.

If the force of attraction is very weak then in that case the material is liquid and for more weak force we can say that the material is gas.

So here melting point depends on the force of attraction in which if the force is more then the melting point must be high. So here for lowest melting point we need to find a material in which the force of attraction is weak.

So out of all given option the weak attraction force is only in

A. Molecular solids

Answer: 3 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: during the collision between the two balls, the total momentum of the system before the collision and after the collision must be conserved:

$p_i = p_f$

The total momentum before the collision is given only by the cue ball, since the solid ball is initially at rest, therefore

$p_i = m_c u_c = (0.5 kg)(3 m/s)=1.5 kg m/s$

So, the final total momentum will also be

$p_f = 1.5 kg m/s$

And the total momentum after the collision is given only by the solid ball, since the cue ball is now at rest, therefore:

$p_f = m_s v_s$

from which we find the velocity of the solid ball

$v_s = \frac{p_f}{m_s}=\frac{1.5 kg m/s}{0.5 kg}=3 m/s$

Answer:

Energy conservation.

Explanation:

The 1st Law of Thermodynamics is a statement about energy conservation. It states that $\Delta U=Q-W$ , which means that if we substract the work W done by the system to the heat Q given to the system we get the change in the internal energy $\Delta U$ , so any excess in energy given to the system appears as internal energy, stating that energy is conserved.

Answer: Machanical advantage of the machine is 1.86

Explanation: Machanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the Force to overcome which is the load in this case 24kg * 10= 240N to the force exerted(Effort) to overcome the load in this case 129N.

So, we have

MA = load/effort

= 240N/129N

= 1.86.

Neither set of choices is correct.

If the distance is tripled, then the forces decrease to

1/9 Fg. and. 1/9 Fe.

Note. When the objects are charged, the gravitational force Fg can almost always be ignored, since Fe is like 10^40 greater when the quantities of mass and charge are similar.
