Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. The following figure illustrates the microscopic differences.
Microscopic view of a gas Microscopic view of a liquid. Microscopic view of a solid.
Microscopic view of a gas. Microscopic view of a liquid. Microscopic view of a solid.
Note that:
Particles in a:
gas are well separated with no regular arrangement.
liquid are close together with no regular arrangement.
solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
Particles in a:
gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds.
liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other.
solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.
Liquids and solids are often referred to as condensed phases because the particles are very close together.
The following table summarizes properties of gases, liquids, and solids and identifies the microscopic behavior responsible for each property.
Answer:
The bin moves 0.87 m before it stops.
Explanation:
If we analyze the situation and apply the law of conservation of energy to this case, we get:
Energy Dissipated through Friction = Change in Kinetic Energy of Bin (Loss)
F d = (0.5)(m)(Vi² - Vf²)
where,
F = Frictional Force = μR
but, R = Normal Reaction = Weight of Bin = mg
Therefore, F = μmg
Hence, the equation becomes:
μmg d = (0.5)(m)(Vi² - Vf²)
μg d = (0.5)(Vi² - Vf²)
d = (0.5)(Vi² - Vf²)/μg
where,
Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (Since, bin finally stops)
Vi = Initial Velocity = 1.6 m/s
μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.15
g = 9.8 m/s²
d = distance moved by bin before coming to stop = ?
Therefore,
d = (0.5)[(1.6 m/s)² - (0 m/s)²]/(0.15)(9.8 m/s²)
<u>d = 0.87 m</u>
Answer: opening of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor channels.
Explanation:
Neuromuscular junction is a special junction formed between a motor neurone and a muscle fibre. The junction is fortified with nerves and receptors that helps in the transmission of signals from the motor neurone to the muscle fibre in order to bring about the desired voluntary movements through muscular contraction.
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor are activated through the binding of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This action leads to influx of sodium ions to accomplish endplate potential.
Answer:
Q = C M T where C is the specific, M the mass, T the temperature change
Note 1 cal = 4.19 Joules
1562.75 J / (4.19 J/cal) = 378 cal
C = Q / (M * T) = 378 cal / (25.35 g * 155 deg C)
C = .096 cal / g deg C
Answer:
Light is a source of illumination, whether a natural one (like the sun) or an artificial one (like your lamp). Like light itself, the word can take a lot of different forms — it can be a noun, an adjective, or a verb, and it can mean "bright" or "not heavy".
