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

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.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

electromagnetic wave. this energy is what lights the bulb.

Explanation:

When you close an electrical circuit, the electrons have a small drag speed, but the fluctuation of the electric field that is created originates by Lenz's law a magnetic field and the appearance of this magnetic field creates a fluctuating elective field, these two fields together forms a wave called an electromagnetic wave.

This electromagnetic wave has a speed given by the relation

v = √1 /ε μ

in a vacuum this speed is equal to the speed of light, which is worth 3 10⁸ m/s this very high value so the energy transported by this wave can travel the distance of 10 m in less than 10⁻⁷ s, This energy is what lights the bulb.

Match each method of erosion with the correct definition

Katena32 [7]

In this item, we are asked to determine the correct definition for the terms. It is unfortunate that they meanings to which we could match them are not given. With that, the answers written here are the well-researched ones.

Solution --> This type of erosion happens when the components found in the rocks (i.e. limestone) are dissolved through the acid components of acid rain.

Abrasion --> This is a process by which the rocks that are eroded to the riverbanks wear down other components of the bed.

Saltation --> This process involves the movement of the particles through a series of bounces that are short and are along the surface of the ground. This results to dislodging the other particles.

Traveling 221 miles from Boston Back Bay Station to NYC Penn Station takes 3 hours

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Approximately $116\; \text{miles}$ for the train from Boston to NYC Penn Station.

Approximately $105\; \text{miles}$ for the train from NYC Penn Station to Boston.

Explanation:

Convert minutes to hours:

$\begin{aligned}t(\text{BOS $\to$ NYC}) &= 3\; {\text{hour}} + 40\; \text{minute} \times \frac{1\; {\text{hour}}}{60\; \text{minute}} \\ &=\left(3 + \frac{2}{3}\right)\; \text{hour}\\ &= \frac{11}{3}\; \text{hour} \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}t(\text{NYC $\to$ BOS}) &= 4\; {\text{hour}} + 5\; \text{minute} \times \frac{1\; {\text{hour}}}{60\; \text{minute}} \\ &= \frac{49}{15}\; \text{hour} \end{aligned}$ .

Calculate average speed of each train:

$\begin{aligned}v(\text{BOS $\to$ NYC}) &= \frac{s}{t}\\ &= \frac{221\; \text{mile}}{\displaystyle \frac{11}{3}\; \text{hour}} \\ &= \frac{663}{11}\; \text{mile} \cdot \text{hour}^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}v(\text{NYC $\to$ BOS}) &= \frac{s}{t}\\ &= \frac{221\; \text{mile}}{\displaystyle \frac{49}{15}\; \text{hour}} \\ &= \frac{2652}{49}\; \text{mile} \cdot \text{hour}^{-1}\end{aligned}$

Assume that it takes a time period of $t$ for the trains to pass by each other after departure. Distance each train travelled would be:

$s(\text{NYC $\to$ BOS}) = v(\text{NYC $\to$ BOS})\, t$ .

$s(\text{BOS $\to$ NYC}) = v(\text{BOS $\to$ NYC})\, t$ .

Since the trains have just passed by each other, the sum of the two distances should be equal to the distance between the stations:

$v(\text{NYC $\to$ BOS})\, t + v(\text{BOS $\to$ NYC})\, t = 221\; \text{mile}$ .

Rearrange and solve for $t$ :

$(v(\text{NYC $\to$ BOS}) + v(\text{BOS $\to$ NYC}))\, t = 221\; \text{mile}$ .

$\begin{aligned}t &= \frac{221\; \text{mile}}{v(\text{NYC $\to$ BOS}) + v(\text{BOS $\to$ NYC})} \\ &= \frac{221\; \text{mile}}{\displaystyle \frac{663}{11}\; \text{mile} \cdot \text{hour}^{-1} + \frac{2652}{49}\; \text{mile} \cdot \text{hour}^{-1}} \\ &= \frac{539}{279}\; \text{hour}\end{aligned}$ .

Distance each train travelled in $t = (539 / 279)\; \text{hour}$ :

$\begin{aligned}s(\text{BOS $\to$ NYC}) &= v\, t \\ &= \frac{663}{11}\; \text{mile} \cdot \text{hour}^{-1} \times \frac{539}{279}\; \text{hour} \\ &\approx 116\; \text{mile}\end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}s(\text{NYC $\to$ BOS}) &= v\, t \\ &= \frac{2652}{49}\; \text{mile} \cdot \text{hour}^{-1} \times \frac{539}{279}\; \text{hour} \\ &\approx 105\; \text{mile} \end{aligned}$ .

What is resistivity?

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Resistivity, electrical resistance of a conductor of unit cross-sectional area and unit length.

Explanation:

A characteristic property of each material, resistivity is useful in comparing various materials on the basis of their ability to conduct electric currents. High resistivity designates poor conductors.
