Answer:

Liquid: A state of matter that consists of loose, free moving particles which form the shape set by the boundaries of the container in which the liquid is in. This happens because the motion of the individual particles within a liquid is much less restricted than in a solid. One may notice that some liquids flow readily whereas some liquids flow slowly. A liquid's relative resistance to flow is viscosity.

Solid: A state of matter with tightly packed particles which do not change the shape or volume of the container that it is in. However, this does not mean that the volume of a solid is a constant. Solids can expand and contract when temperatures change. This is why when you look up the density of a solid, it will indicate the temperature at which the value for density is listed. Solids have strong intermolecular forces that keep particles in close proximity to one another. Another interesting thing to think about is that all true solids have crystalline structures. This means that their particles are arranged in a three-dimensional, orderly pattern. Solids will undergo phase changes when they come across energy changes.

Gas: A state of matter where particles are spread out with no definite shape or volume. The particles of a gas will take the shape and fill the volume of the container that it is placed in. In a gas, there are no intermolecular forces holding the particles of a gas together since each particle travels at its own speed in its own direction. The particles of a gas are often separated by great distances.

Estimate frequency of vibration of your arm. Let the length of the arm be 0.57 m. Consider the arm as a simple pendulum and assu

skad [1K]

Answer:

0.80865 Hz

1.23662 seconds

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

l = Length of arm = 0.57 m

Length of simple pendulum is given by

$L=\dfrac{2}{3}l\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{2}{3}\times 0.57\\\Rightarrow L=0.38\ m$

The frequency is given by

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{L}}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{9.81}{0.38}}\\\Rightarrow f=0.80865\ Hz$

The frequency is 0.80865 Hz

The time period is given by

$T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{1}{0.80865}\\\Rightarrow T=1.23662\ s$

The time period is 1.23662 seconds

A motorcycle of mass 100 kilograms slowly rolls off the edge of a cliff and falls for three seconds before reaching the bottom o

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C) 3,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

We can consider the horizontal velocity of the motorcycle to be zero, since it rolls off the edge of the cliff very slowly. So, we only need to find the vertical velocity at the time of the impact with the ground.

The vertical velocity of the motorcycle at time t is given by (free-fall motion):

$v(t)=v_0 -gt$

where

$v_0=0$ is the initial vertical velocity (zero, since the motorcycle is not moving)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time

Since the motorcycle hits the ground after t = 3 seconds, we have

$v(3 s)=0-(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)=-29.4 m/s$

And since we know its mass, m=100 kg, we can find its momentum:

$p=mv=(100 kg)(-29.4 m/s)=-2940 kg m/s \cdot -3000 kg m/s$

and the negative sign simply means downward direction.

Explain the molecular concept of thermal energy.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The temperature of an object increases when the molecules that make up that object move faster. Thermal energy is energy possessed by an object or system due to the movement of particles within the object or the system.
