Explain why gases are more compressible than solid

1 answer:

7 0

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.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

See attached diagram

280 km east then 190 km north

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant displacement

d^2 = 280^2 + 190^2

d = 338.4 km

Angle will be arctan ( 190/280) = 34.16 °

A 1500 kg truck is acted upon by a force that decreases its speed from 25 m/s to 15 m/s in 8 s. What is the magnitude of the for

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

F = 1,875 N

Explanation:

force=

$\frac{change \: in \: momentum}{time \: taken}$

∆H = m∆V

where ∆H ----> change in momentum.

( final momentum - initial momentum )

and ∆V ----> change in velocity

( final velocity - initial velocity )

and m ----> is mass

then f =

$\frac{1500 \times (25 - 15)}{8}$

= 1,875 N

If the car went 30 km west in 25 min. and then 40 km south in 35 min., what would be its average speed?

Alika [10]

The total distance is 70km.
The total time is 60 minutes or 1 hour.
Speed=Distance÷Time
=70÷1
=70km/h

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

see explanations below

Explanation:

At the point when the car leaves the track, the reaction on the road is zero, meaning that the centrifugal force equals the gravitation force, namely

mv^2/r = mg

Solve for v in SI units

v^2 = gr = 9.81 m/s^2 * 14.2 m = 139.302 m^2/s^2

v = sqrt(139.302) = 11.8 m/s

Answer: at 11.8 m/s (26.4 mph) car will leave the track.
