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 ☺️☺️☺️

If you run at an average speed of 10mi/h how long will it take for you to run 2.5miles
givi [52]

Answer:

If the avg speed is 10mi/h and you want to know how long it will take to run 2.5mi/h you put that as a ratio 2.5/10 which is 1/4 of an hour so it will take 15 minutes to run 2.5 miles

Suppose you run into a wall at 4.5 meters per second (about 10 mph). Let's say the wall brings you to a complete stop in 0.5 sec
STatiana [176]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Initial velocity,u=4.5 m/s

Time=t =0.5 s

Final velocity=v=0m/s

We have to find the deceleration and estimate the force exerted by wall on you.

We know that

Acceleration=\frac{v-u}{t}

Using the formula

Acceleration=a=\frac{0-4.5}{0.5}

deceleration=a=-9m/s^2

We know that

Force =ma

Using the formula and suppose mass  of my body=m=40 kg

The force exerted by wall on you

Force=40\times (9)=360N
