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 ☺️☺️☺️

In a typical golf swing the club is in contact with the ball for about 0.0010 s. If the .045 kg ball experiences a force of 4000
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

v = 88.89 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the principle of conservation of momentum which tells us that the initial momentum of a body plus the momentum added to that body will be equal to the final momentum of the body.

We must make up the following equation:

F*t = m*v

where:

F = force applied = 4000 [N]

t = time = 0.001 [s]

m = mass = 0.045 [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

4000*0.001=0.045*v\\v=88.89[m/s]

If a 10,000 g mass is suspended from a rope, what is the tensile force in the rope?
nadezda [96]

To solve this problem we will apply Newton's second law and the principle of balancing Forces on the rope. Newton's second law allows us to define the weight of the mass, through the function

F = ma\rightarrow F =mg

Here,

m = mass

a = g = Gravitational acceleration

Replacing we have that the weight is

W= (10kg)(9.8)

W = 98N

Since the rope is taut and does not break, the net force on the rope will be zero.

\sum F = 0

T-W = 0

T = W

T = 98N

Therefore the tensile force in the rope is 98N

A rolling ball will eventually come to a stop. Why does this happen?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

(D) friction from the ground changes the ball's

kinetic energy into heat

Explanation:

When a ball is roll on the ground, the electrons in the atoms on the surface of the ground push against the electrons in the atoms on the surface of your ball that is touching the ground. A rolling ball stops because the surface on which it rolls resists its motion,that is when two surfaces come in contact with each other, the surface of one tends to oppose the motion of the other. A rolling ball stops because of friction.

Isla’s change in velocity is 30 m/s, and Hazel has the same change in velocity. Which best explains why they would have differen
lyudmila [28]

Acceleration  =  (change in velocity) / (time for the change) .

They may have had the same change in velocity, but if the changes
happened in different lengths of time, then their accelerations were
not the same.
