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 gymnast falls from a height onto a trampoline. For a moment, both the gymnast’s kinetic energy and gravitational potential ene
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

elastic energy

Explanation:

When a gymnast falls on a trampoline from a height, after coming in contact with the trampoline, both the gymnast and the trampoline start to move down due to the elastic property of the trampoline.

During this stretching of the trampoline there comes a maximum point up to which the trampoline is stretched. At this point, both the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy of the gymnast are zero due to zero speed and zero height, respectively.

The only energy stored in the gymnast's body at this point is the elastic potential energy due to stretching of the trampoline. Hence,the correct option is:

<u>elastic energy</u>

Water drips from a shower head (the sprayer at the top of the shower) and falls onto the floor 2.4 m below. The droplets are fal
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The third drop is 0.26m

Explanation:

The drop 1 impacts at time T is given by:

T=sqrt(2h/g)

T= sqrt[(2×2.4)/9.8]

T= sqrt(4.8/9.8)

T= sqrt(0.4898)

T= 0.70seconds

4th drops starts at dT=0.70/3= 0.23seconds

The interval between the drops is 0.23seconds

Third drop will fall at t= 0.23

h=1/2gt^2

h= 1/2×9.81×(0.23)^2

h= 0.26m
