There is no space between the individual particles, so they cannot pack together. The kinetic-molecular theory explains why gases are more compressible than either liquids or solids. Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.

A particle is projected with velocity v0 directly up a slope which makes an angle α with the horizontal. Assume frictionless mot

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

a)T total = 2*Voy/(g*sin( α ))

b)α = 0º , T total≅∞ (the particle, goes away horizontally indefinitely)

α = 90º, T total=2*Voy/g

Explanation:

Velocity in the Y axis:

Voy=Vo*sinα

Time to reach the maximal height :

Kinematics equation: Vfy=Voy-at

a=g*sinα ; g is gravity

if Vfy=0 ⇒ t=T ; time to reach the maximal height

so:

0=Voy-g*sin( α )*T

T=Voy/(g*sin( α ))

Time required to return to the starting point:

After the object reaches its maximum height, the object descends to the starting point, the time it descends is the same as the time it rises.

So T total= 2T = 2*Voy/(g*sin( α ))

α = 0º , sinα=0

The particle goes totally horizontal, goes away indefinitely

T total= 2*Voy/(g*sin( α )) ≅∞

α = 90º, sinα=1

T total=2*Voy/g

A metal disk of radius 6.0 cm is mounted on a frictionless axle. Current can flow through the axle out along the disk, to a slid

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

0.09 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Radius of disk,r=6 cm= $\frac{6}{100}=0.06 m$

1 m=100 cm

B=1 T

Current,I=3 A

We have to find the frictional force at the rim between the stationary electrical contact and the rotating rim.

$dF=IBdr$

$\tau=rdF=IBrdr$

$\tau=\int_{0}^{R}IBr dr$

$\tau=IB(\frac{R^2}{2}$

Torque due to friction

$\tau=R\times F$

Where friction force=F

$R\times F=\frac{IBR^2}{2}$

$F=\frac{IBR}{2}$

Substitute the values

$F=\frac{3\times 1\times 0.06}{2}$

$F=0.09 N$

A ball is kicked from a height of 20 meters above the ground. If the initial velocity is 10 m/s, how long is the ball in flight

nasty-shy [4]

S=20 m
v=10 m/s
t=s/v
= 20/10
= 2 s.

mylen [45]

Answer:

longing for social inclusion.

Explanation:

Ross here is longing for social inclusion.

He decides to campaign for the his fraternity brother not by choice or will but by peer pressure and social inclusion because most of the students campaigned for Henry so he supports Henry as well. Moreover, he did not be feel left out and he did not have a clear preference as well.
