Explain why gases are more compressible than solid

Physics

Answer:

If we put pressure on a solid or a liquid, there is essentially no change in volume. ... The kinetic-molecular theory explains why gases are more compressible than either liquids or solids. Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.

How many neutrons does an atom of Dubnium have in its nucleus

attashe74 [19]

Dubnium is a synthetic element ... Number 105. It can be created
in a laboratory but it's not found in nature.

Fifteen (15) different isotopes of Dubnium have been created. They all
have 105 protons in the nucleus of every atom, but they have anywhere
from 256 to 270 neutrons in each nucleus.

The most stable isotope of Dubnium is ²⁶⁸Db , with 163 neutrons in the
nucleus. That form of Dubnium atom has a 50-50 chance of surviving
for around 28 hours before it falls apart.

An airplane flies in a horizontal circle of radius 500 m at a speed of 150 m/s. If the radius were changed to 1000 m, but the sp

laila [671]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration changed by a factor of 0.5

Explanation:

Given;

first radius of the horizontal circle, r₁ = 500 m

speed of the airplane, v = 150 m/s

second radius of the airplane, r₂ = 1000 m

Centripetal acceleration is given as;

$a = \frac{v^2}{r}$

At constant speed, we will have;

$v^2 =ar\\\\v = \sqrt{ar}\\\\at \ constant\ v;\\\sqrt{a_1r_1} = \sqrt{a_2r_2}\\\\a_1r_1 = a_2r_2\\\\a_2 = \frac{a_1r_1}{r_2} \\\\a_2 = \frac{a_1*500}{1000}\\\\a_2 = \frac{a_1}{2} \\\\a_2 = \frac{1}{2} a_1$

a₂ = 0.5a₁

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration changed by a factor of 0.5

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Vmax=11.53 m/s

Explanation:

from conservation of energy

$E_A} =E_{B}$

Spring potential energy =potential energy due to elevation

0.5*k*x²= mg $(h_{B}-h_{A} )$ =mgh

0.5*k*2.3²= 430*9.81*6

k=9568.92 N/m

For safety reason

k"=1.13 *k= 1.13*9568.92

k"=10812.88 N/m

agsin from conservation of energy

$E_A} =E_{C}$

spring potential energy=change in kinetic energy

0.5*k"*x²=0.5*m* $V_{max}^{2}$

10812.88 *2.3²=430* $V_{max}^{2}$

$V_{max}$ =11.53 m/s

How fast must a bug swim to keep up with the waves it produces? How fast must it move to produce a bow wave?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

A bug must swim as fast as the wave speed to keep up with the waves it produces. Moreso, a boat must be moving faster than the waves it creates to produce a bow wave.
