Explain melting and freezing using the kinetic theory of matter​

Physics
1 answer:
Alexxx [7]3 years ago

As a liquid is cooled its molecules lose kinetic energy and their motion slows. When they've slowed to where intermolecular attractive forces exceed the collisional forces from random motion, then a phase transition from liquid to solid state takes place and the material freezes

he tune-up specifications of a car call for the spark plugs to be tightened to a torque of 47 N⋅m . You plan to tighten the plug
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

207.4 N

Explanation:

The torque \tau  on a body is

\tau = r* F  where r is the radius vector from the point of rotation to the point at which force F is applied.

The product of r and F is equal to the product of magnitude of r and F multiplied by the sine of angle between both vectors.

Therefore, torque is also given by

\tau = rF\sin \theta

Where \theta is the angle between r and F.

Use the expression of torque.

Substitute L for r in the equation \tau = rF\sin \theta

\tau = LF\sin \theta

Where L is the length of the wrench.

Making F the subject

F = \frac{\tau }{{L\sin \theta }}

Force required to pull the wrench is given as,

F = \frac{\tau }{{L\sin \theta }}

Substitute 47{\rm{ N}} \cdot {\rm{m}}  for \tau, 25 cm for L, and 115o for \theta  

\begin{array}{c}\\F = \frac{{47{\rm{ N}} \cdot {\rm{m}}}}{{\left( {25{\rm{ cm}}} \right)\sin {{115}^{\rm{o}}}}}\left( {\frac{{1{\rm{ cm}}}}{{{{10}^{ - 2}}{\rm{ m}}}}} \right)\\\\ = 207.435{\rm{ N}}\\\\ \approx 207.4{\rm{ N}}\\\end{array}

The current through a 10 ohm resistor is 1.2 amperes.What is the potential difference across the resistor?
Natalija [7]

<u>Answer</u>: The potential difference across the resistor is 12 volts.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the potential difference cross the resistor, we use Ohm's Law. This law states that the potential difference across two wires is directly proportional to the current flowing through that wire.

Mathematically,

V\propto I\\V=IR

Where,

V = potential difference = ?V

I = Current flowing = 1.2 A

R = Resistor = 10\Omega

Putting values in above equation, we get:

V=1.2\times 10=12V

Hence, the potential difference across the resistor is 12 volts

What do electrons in the same shell have in common? AThey have the same amount of energy incorrect answer BThey are all positive
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

They have the same amount of energy

Explanation:

Electrons are said to be the subatomic particles that move around the nucleus of an atom. These electrons are negatively charged particles that are seen to be quite smaller than the nucleus of an atom.  

The electron shells of these atoms are usually being filled from the inside out with the low-energy shells closer to the nucleus being filled before they can go into the much higher-energy shells that are a bit out

As water across the surface of the earth it dissolves material as it travels. What property of water does this demonstrate?
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

B) Water is a solvent

Explanation:

Among many other chemicals, water can dissolve a variety of substances. The solvent properties of chemicals are far beyond it. That property makes water a universal solvent.

Water has one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen.

One side of the water molecule is positively charged and the other side is negatively charged. This property attracts other substances like salt and disintegrates into positive and negatively charged ions. This property is due to its physical and chemical nature.
