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 ☺️☺️☺️

Determine the stopping distances for a car with an initial speed of 88 km/h and human reaction time of 2.0 s for the following a

seropon [69]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 88 km/h = 24.44 m/s

Reaction time, t = 2 s

Distance covered during this time, $d=24.44\times 2=48.88\ m$

(a) Acceleration, $a=-4\ m/s^2$

We need to find the stopping distance, v = 0. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -4}$

s = 74.66 meters

s = 74.66 + 48.88 = 123.54 meters

(b) Acceleration, $a=-8\ m/s^2$

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -8}$

s = 37.33 meters

s = 37.33 + 48.88 = 86.21 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

How much work must be done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 5.0×10^−10 m from one another (at the corners

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

1.38 x 10^-18 J

Explanation:

q = - 1.6 x 10^-19 C

d = 5 x 10^-10 m

the potential energy of the system gives the value of work done

The formula for the potential energy is given by

$U =\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d}$

So, the total potential energy of teh system is

$U =\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d}+\frac{Kq_{2}q_{3}}{d}+\frac{Kq_{1}q_{3}}{d}$

As all the charges are same and the distance between the two charges is same so the total potential energy becomes

$U =3\times \frac{Kq^{2}}{d}$

K = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

By substituting the values

$U =3\times \frac{9\times 10^{9}\times \ 1.6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-38}}{5\times 10^{-10}}$

U = 1.38 x 10^-18 J

How much potential energy does a 40-N medicine ball gain when it is lifted 5 m?

777dan777 [17]

We know, Potential Energy = Force * Height
Here, F = 40 N
h = 5 m

Substitute their values,
U = 40 * 5
U = 200 J

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!

Suppose the conducting wire (with resistance R) was replace with one of the same material but has its dimension doubled (the len

sveticcg [70]

Resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to the square of its radius.
Thus, if the length is doubled, and the radius is halved:
R₂ = 2R₁/(1/2)²
R₂ = 8R₁
Therefore the resistance increases eight times.
