QUESTION:

Explain melting and freezing using the kinetic theory of matter.

ANSWER:

As a liquid is cooled its molecules lose kinetic energy and their motion slows. When they’ve slowed to where intermolecular attractive forces exceed the collisional forces from random motion, then a phase transition from liquid to solid state takes place and the material freezes. These attractive forces can be any of several types:

Covalent.
Hydrogen (polar).
Ionic.
Van der Waals.

The temperature of solid which melts and turned into liquid when heat is applied is called melting.

The temperature of a liquid which becomes a solid at normal atmosphereic pressure is called freezing .

hope it is helpful to you ☺️☺️☺️

A uniform plank 8.00 m in length with mass 50.0 kg is supported at two points located 1.00 m and 5.00 m, respectively, from the

andreev551 [17]

To solve the problem it is necessary to use Newton's second law and statistical equilibrium equations.

According to Newton's second law we have to

$F = mg$

where,

m= mass

g = gravitational acceleration

For the balance to break, there must be a mass M located at the right end.

We will define the mass m as the mass of the body, located in an equidistant center of the corners equal to 4m.

In this way, applying the static equilibrium equations, we have to sum up torques at point B,

$\sum \tau = 0$

Regarding the forces we have,

$3Mg-1mg=0$

Re-arrange to find M,

$M = \frac{m}{3}$

$M = \frac{50}{3}$

$M = 16.67Kg$

Therefore the maximum additional mass you could place on the right hand end of the plank and have the plank still be at rest is 16.67Kg

Can someone explain the normal force? where does it come from? ...?

Vilka [71]

<span>The normal force is the support force exerted upon an object which is in contact with another stable object. For example, if a book is resting upon a surface, then the surface is exerting an upward force upon the book in order to support the weight of the book. The normal force in itseñf comes from the third law of Newton as a reactive force</span>

If 8000 C of charge pass through a section of wire in 2 minutes, what would the current be?

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

we know that current = charge/time

Explanation:

therefore,

A = 8000/120

A => 66.666.... amperes
