Explanation:

Matter is changed from one state to another by addition or removal of heat and suitable pressure conditions.

When a solid is heated, it normally melts and changes to liquids which on heating changes to vapor. The randomness of the particles increases from solid to liquid state and to gaseous states.

Also, a gas can be cooled to liquid and on further cooling transformed into a solid matter.

These phase changes are brought about by energy changes in a system. Some form of matter can also sublime by changing form solid to gas and vice versa.

If a car's speed triples, how does the momentum and kinetic energy of the

Harrizon [31]

Answer: When the car speed triples, momentum also triples but Kinetic energy increases 9 times or by 9 fold.

Explanation:

The momentum of a car (an object) is

p= mv

where

m is =the mass of the object( in this case car)

v is its= velocity

While the kinetic energy is is given by the formulae

K=1/2mv²

To determine how momentum and kinetic energy of the car changes when the speed of the object triples, We have that the new velocity,

v¹= 3v

So that the momentum change becomes

p¹=mv¹=m (3v)= 3mv

mv=p

therefore p¹= 3p

we can see that the momentum also triples.

And the kinetic energy change becomes

K¹=1/2m(v¹)²= 1/2m (3v)²

= 1/2m9v²= 1/2 x m x 9 x v²=9 x1/2mv²

1/2mv²=K

K¹= Kinetic energy = 9k

but Kinetic energy increases 9 times

If the Sun suddenly went dark, we would not know it until its light stopped arriving on Earth. How long would that be, in second

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer: 500 s

Explanation:

Speed $v$ is defined as a relation between the distance $d$ and time $t$ :

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

Where:

$v=3(10)^{8}m/s$ is the speed of light in vacuum

$d=1.5(10)^{11}m$ is the distance between the Earth and Sun

$t$ is the time it takes to the light to travel the distance $d$

Isolating $t$ :

$t=\frac{d}{v}$

$t=\frac{1.5(10)^{11}m}{3(10)^{8}m/s}$

Finally:

$t=500 s$

What does it mean to say something is proportional?

mamaluj [8]

Answer: When quantities have the same relative size. In other words they have the same ratio corresponding in size or amount to something else.

Explanation: Example: "A rope's length and weight are in proportion."

Example: "The punishment should be proportional to the crime"

a bullet moving with a velocity of 100m/s pierce a block of wood and moves out with a velocityof 10 m/s.if the thickness of the

erma4kov [3.2K]

The emerging velocity of the bullet is 71 m/s.

The bullet of mass m moving with a velocity u has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed v when it emerges from the block.

If the block exerts a resistive force F on the bullet and the thickness of the block is x then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,
