Difference between sold and liquid

Physics

1 answer:

Tcecarenko [31]2 years ago

4 0

Explanation:

Solids have closely packed particles and vibrate about a fixed position, they also have a fixed volume.

liquid have close particles but which are able to move with a bit of kinetic energy, for this reason they have no fixed volume but take the volume of the container or vessel

Perform the following calculations and give your answer with the correct number of significant figures

love history [14]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

a. 0.1886 x 12 =2.2632

This has 2 sig figures so the answer can only have 2 sig figures

2.3

b. 2.995 - 0.16685 =2.82815

The most accurate in the problem is to thousands place so our answer can only be accurate to the thousands place

2.828

c. 910 x 0.18945=172.3995

The least number of significant figures is 3 so the answer can only have 3 significant figures

A 26 foot ladder is lowered down a vertical wall at a rate of 3 feet per minute. The base of the ladder is sliding away from the

lakkis [162]

Answer:

(i) 7.2 feet per minute.

(ii) No, the rate would be different.

(iii) The rate would be always positive.

(iv) the resultant change would be constant.

(v) 0 feet per min

Explanation:

Let the length of ladder is l, x be the height of the top of the ladder from the ground and y be the length of the bottom of the ladder from the wall,

By making the diagram of this situation,

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

$l^2 = x^2 + y^2-----(1)$

Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),

$0=2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}$ ( l = 26 feet = constant )

$\implies 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = -2x\frac{dx}{dt}$

$\implies \frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{x}{y}\frac{dx}{dt}$

We have,

$y = 10, \frac{dx}{dt}= -3\text{ feet per min}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3x}{10}-----(X)$

(i) From equation (1),

$26^2 = x^2 + 10^2$

$676=x^2 + 100$

$576 = x^2$

$\implies x = 24\text{ feet}$

From equation (X),

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3\times 24}{10}=7.2\text{ feet per min}$

(ii) From equation (X),

$\frac{dy}{dt}\propto x$

Thus, for different value of x the value of $\frac{dy}{dt}$ would be different.

(iii) Since, distance = Positive number,

So, the value of y will always a positive number.

Thus, from equation (X),

The rate would always be a positive.

(iv) The length of the ladder is constant, so, the resultant change would be constant.

i.e. x = increases ⇒ y = decreases

y = decreases ⇒ y = increases

(v) if ladder hit the ground x = 0,

So, from equation (X),

$\frac{dy}{dt}=0\text{ feet per min}$

What is dark energy? How is dark energy related to the theory of the multiverse?

olga55 [171]

Answer:

In the 1980s, astronomers turned to multiverse theory to explain the “luckily small” amount of dark energy in our universe. According to cosmologist's theories, this small amount of dark energy appeared to enable our universe to host life, while most universes in the multiverse couldn't.
