What state of matter can easily be compressed (squeezed into a much smaller space)? *

Physics

Answer:

gases.

Explanation:

gases have the highest volume. if you compress (increase pressure) a gas, the volume decreases and it will take up less space as a liquid, and if you compress more, the liquid will become a solid.

additionally info: this is generally true, but as you get into more difficult subjects, this rule does not hold. for example, some substances cannot obtain a certain phase of matter when they are a certain temperature and or pressure. but that could be way more out of this questions league.

Answer: F = ma,

Explanation:

the most famous equation in physics, establishing an equivalence between energy and mass. But is this the most important equation in physics? Knowledgeable scientists will tell you no. The most important equation in physics is F = ma, also known as Newton's second law of mechanics.

What is the electric potential energy of an electron at the negative end of the cable, relative to the positive end of the cable

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Electric potential energy at the negative terminal: $1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

Explanation:

When a particle with charge $q$ travels across a potential difference $\Delta V$ , then its change in electric potential energy is

$\Delta U = q \Delta V$

In this problem, we know that:

The particle is an electron, so its charge is

$q=-1.60\cdot 10^{-19}C$

We also know that the positive terminal is at potential

$V_+=0V$

While the negative terminal is at potential

$V_-=-12 V$

Therefore, the potential difference (final minus initial) is

$\Delta V = -12-0 = -12 V$

So, the change in potential energy of the electron is

$\Delta U = (-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-12)=1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

This means that the electron when it is at the negative terminal has $1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$ of energy more than when it is at the positive terminal.

Since the potential at the positive terminal is 0, this means that the electric potential energy of the electron at the negative end is

$1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

Newtons first law 1 to 5. <br>What is each of the net force for all of the 5 questions?

erica [24]

Answer:

1. 65 N.

2. 160 N.

3. 0 N.

4. 210 N.

5. 90 N.

Explanation:

1. Determination of the net force.

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 80 N

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 145 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fₗ – Fᵣ

Fₙ = 145 – 80

Fₙ = 65 N

Thus, the net force is 65 N

2. Determination of the net force.

Force 1 applied to the left (F₁) = 35 N

Force 2 applied to the left (F₂) = 125 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = F₁ + F₂

Fₙ = 35 + 125

Fₙ = 160 N

Thus, the net force is 160 N.

3. Determination of the net force.

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 75 N

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 75 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fₗ – Fᵣ

Fₙ = 75 – 75

Fₙ = 0

Thus, the net force is 0 N

4. Determination of the net force.

Force 1 applied to the right (F₁) = 150 N

Force 2 applied to the right (F₂) = 60 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = F₁ + F₂

Fₙ = 150 + 60

Fₙ = 210 N

Thus, the net force is 210 N.

5. Determination of the net force.

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 115 N

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 25 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fᵣ – Fₗ

Fₙ = 115 – 25

Fₙ = 90 N

Thus, the net force is 90 N

If the pitched ball was traveling 77 mph before stanton's bat hit it and 120 mph after his bat hit it, by what amount did the sp

Mice21 [21]

here we will use the concept of Newton's III law

as per Newton's III law the impulse given to the ball is same as the impulse lost by the bat

So here we will say

impulse gain by the ball = impulse lost by the bat

$m_1(v_f - v_i) = m_2(\Delta v)$

given that

$m_1 = 5 ounce$

$m_2 = 32 ounce$

For ball the change in speed will be

$v_f - v_i = (120 - 77)mph$

now from above equation

$5\times (120 - 77) = 32 \times \Delta v$

$\Delta v = 6.72 mph$

so speed of bat will decrease by 6.72 mph
