Using the Particle Theory, explain why liquids are less compressible than gases.

Physics

AleksandrR [38]2 years ago

5 0

Explanation:

In liquids the particles have more energy. This allows the particles in liquids to roll past each other, but they are still tightly packed. Gases can be compressed because the particles can be forced closer together. The particles in a liquid are already as close as they can be.

A nucleus with a mass number of 64 has a mean radius of about: _________.

dangina [55]

Answer:

The correct option is A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass number is $A= 64$

Generally the mean radius is mathematically evaluated as

$R = R_o A^{\frac{1}{3} }$

Here $R_o$ is a constant with a value $R_o =1.2*10^{-15}$

$R = 1.2*10^{-15} * 64^{\frac{1}{3} }$

$R = 4.8 *10^{-15}$

$R = 4.8\ fm$

Cesium-137 undergoes beta decay and has a half-life of 30.0 years. How many beta particles are emitted by a 14.0-g sample of ces

Mandarinka [93]

Answer: $0.81\times 10^{16}$ beta particles

Explanation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass = 14.0 g

Molar mass = 137 g/mol

$\text{Number of moles of cesium}=\frac{14.0g}{137g/mol}=0.102moles$

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molecular mass and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

1 mole of cesium contains atoms = $6.023\times 10^{23}$

0.102 moles of cesium contains atoms = $\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 0.102=0.614\times 10^{23}$

The relation of atoms with time for radioactivbe decay is:

$N_t=N_0\times \frac{1}{2}^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}$

Where $N_t$ =atoms left undecayed

$N_0$ = initial atoms

t = time taken for decay = 3 minutes

${t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$ = half life = 30.0 years = $1.577\times 10^7$ minutes

The fraction that decays : $1-(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{3}{1.577\times 10^7}}=1.32\times 10^{-7}$

Amount of particles that decay is = $0.614\times 10^{23}\times 1.32\times 10^{-7}=0.81\times 10^{16}$

Thus $0.81\times 10^{16}$ beta particles are emitted by a 14.0-g sample of cesium-137 in three minutes.

What is the biggest similarity between sports in the United States and sports in other cultures?

leva [86]

Answer:

The first difference is fairly straightforward: other countries prefer other sports. While some aspects of American sports culture are universal there are other things that are sports-specific, such as the 7th-inning stretch at a baseball game or counting the steps of a basketball player after he fouls out.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

R=m*g-∀fl*g*l3

Explanation:

<em>An iron block of density rhoFe and of volume l 3 is immersed in a fluid of density rhofluid. The block hangs from a scale which reads W as the weight. The top of the block is a height h below the surface of the fluid. The correct equation for the reading of the scale is</em>

From Archimedes' principle we know that a body when immersed in a fluid, fully or partially, experiences an the upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. As the body is fully submerged in water, volume of water displaced

density of iron =mass/ volume

rho=m/l3

mass=rhol3

weight fluid=rhofluid*g*Volume

weight of fluid=rhofluid*g*l3

F=∀fl*g*l3

Downward force is weight of iron

w=m*g
