Answer:

in motion.

Explanation:

In chemistry, we often explain the states of matter in terms of the kinetic molecular theory (KMT). The word kinetic refers to motion and the kinetic molecular theory suggests that atoms and molecules are always in motion. The energy associated with this motion is termed kinetic energy.

Point out the following about solids: The particles (atoms or molecules) are attracted to each other. The particles (atoms or molecules) vibrate but do not move past one another. The solid retains its shape.

They are not always in motion. They are always in motion if and only if the temperature of the surroundings is greater than absolute zero ( 0 K ).

Not only are molecules really small but they are in constant motion. The motion is called “thermal motion” because it's caused by temperature. Increase the temperature around them and the molecules move faster.

I think atoms and molecules in matter are always in motion because of kinetic energy.

Kelli weighs 425 N, and she is sitting on a playground swing that hangs 0.36 m above the ground. Her mom pulls the swing back an

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

V = 3.54 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

$E_i = E_f$

so:

$wh = \frac{1}{2}mV^2$

where w is te weigh of kelly, h the distance that kelly decends, m is the mass of kelly and V the velocity in the lowest position.

So, the mass of kelly is:

m = 425N/9.8 = 43.36 Kg

and h is:

h = 1m-0.36m =0.64m

then, replacing values, we get:

$(425N)(0.64m) = \frac{1}{2}(43.36kg)v^2$

Solving for v:

V = 3.54 m/s

Find the shear stress and the thickness of the boundary layer (a) at the center and (b) at the trailing edge of a smooth flat pl

melomori [17]

Answer:

a) The shear stress is 0.012

b) The shear stress is 0.0082

c) The total friction drag is 0.329 lbf

Explanation:

Given by the problem:

Length y plate = 2 ft

Width y plate = 10 ft

p = density = 1.938 slug/ft³

v = kinematic viscosity = 1.217x10⁻⁵ft²/s

Absolute viscosity = 2.359x10⁻⁵lbfs/ft²

a) The Reynold number is equal to:

$Re=\frac{1*3}{1.217x10^{-5} } =246507, laminar$

The boundary layer thickness is equal to:

$\delta=\frac{4.91*1}{Re^{0.5} } =\frac{4.91*1}{246507^{0.5} } =0.0098$ ft

The shear stress is equal to:

$\tau=0.332(\frac{2.359x10^{-5}*3 }{1} )(246507)^{0.5} =0.012$

b) If the railing edge is 2 ft, the Reynold number is:

$Re=\frac{2*3}{1.215x10^{-5} } =493015.6,laminar$

The boundary layer is equal to:

$\delta=\frac{4.91*2}{493015.6^{0.5} } =0.000019ft$

The sear stress is equal to:

$\tau=0.332(\frac{2.359x10^{-5}*3 }{2} )(493015.6^{0.5} )=0.0082$

c) The drag coefficient is equal to:

$C=\frac{1.328}{\sqrt{Re} } =\frac{1.328}{\sqrt{493015.6} } ==0.0019$

The friction drag is equal to:

$F=Cp\frac{v^{2} }{2} wL=0.0019*1.938*(\frac{3^{2} }{2} )(10*2)=0.329lbf$

Describe the main energy transformations that occur when an apple falls from a tree?

blondinia [14]

Answer:

Kinetic energy

Explanation:

When an apple falls from a tree it has to do with the energy from gravity. Gravity energy turns into kinetic energy once its in motion.
