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

Physics
1 answer:
AleksandrR [38]3 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 12000 kg boat is moving 4.25 m/s. Its engine pushes 9200 N forward, but the current pushes back at 12,500 N. How much times do
Verizon [17]

Answer:

15.5 seconds

Explanation:

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

-12500 + 9200 = (12000) a

a = -0.275 m/s²

v = at + v₀

0 = (-0.275) t + 4.25

t = 15.5 s

It takes the boat 15.5 seconds to stop.

Consider two points in an electric field. The potential at point 1, V1, is 33 V. The potential at point 2, V2, is 175 V. An elec
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

ΔU  = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

Explanation:

Since the electric potential at point 1 is V₁ = 33 V and the electric potential at point 2 is V₂ = 175 V, when the electron is accelerated from point 1 to point 2, there is a change in electric potential ΔV which is given by ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

ΔV = 175 V - 33 V.

ΔV = 142 V

The change in electric potential energy ΔU = eΔV = e(V₂ - V₁) where e = electron charge = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and ΔV = electric potential change from point 1 to point 2 = 142 V.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔU = eΔV

ΔU = eΔV

ΔU = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 142 V

ΔU = -227.484 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

ΔU = -2.27484 × 10⁻²¹ J

ΔU ≅ -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

So, the required equation for the electric potential energy change is

ΔU  = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

The sensor in the torso of a crash test dummy records the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the dummy.If the du
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Here in crash test the two forces are acting on the dummy in two different directions

As we know that force is a vector quantity so we need to use vector addition laws in order to find the resultant force on it.

So here two forces are given in perpendicular direction with each other so as per vector addition law we need to use Pythagoras theorem to find the resultant of two vectors

so we can say

F_{net} = \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2}

here given that

F_1 = 130.0 N

F_2 = 4500.0 N

now we will plug in all data in the above equation

F_{net} = \sqrt{4500^2 + 130^}

F_{net} = 4501.9 N

so it will have net force 4501.9 N which will be reported by sensor
