13. Describe the molecules of a solid in terms of kinetic energy.

1 answer:

3 0

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: ... Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.

Explain in your own words how the Doppler Effect is also applicable in our study of light.

arlik [135]

well in my own words, i'd saw the the doppler effect is similar to light because sound has a speed, and light does too.

so my theory is if you go fast enough everything would just become black, or maybe white? idk its hard to explain

but what my point is, is taht the doppler effect works in the same way, like if a car is moving towards you the sound is being emitted from the car and being pushed by the speed of the car making it have a much higher pitch, when the car is going away however it drops to a lower pitch due the the sound waves being DRAGGED by the car.

there hoped this helped I guess

A 500kg car skids to a stop at a traffic light, leaving behind a 18.25m skid mark as it comes to a rest. Assuming that the car i

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction will be 0.587

Explanation:

We have given mass of the car m = 500 kg

Distance s = 18.25 m

Initial velocity of the car u = 14.5 m/sec

As the car finally stops so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

From second equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2as$

$0^2=14.5^2+2\times a\times 18.25$

$a=-5.76m/sec^2$

We know that acceleration is given by

$a=\mu g$

$5.76=\mu\times 9.81$

$\mu =0.587$

So coefficient of friction will be 0.587

It is known that the 10 kg pipe will roll up the ramp and not slide on the ramp when P becomes sufficiently large. Using the rol

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

65.73N

Explanation:

The frictional force is a force that opposes the motion of an object on a flat surface or an inclined surface.

It is always acting up an incline plane .

Since the pipe will tend to roll up the plane, then both the impending force P also known as frictional force and the moving force Fm both will be acting up the plane.

The net force acting up the plane is

Fnet = P + Fm... (1)

The force perpendicular to the plane known as the normal reaction R must be equal to the force acting along the ramp in other to keep the body in equilibrium i.e R = Fnet

If R = W = mgcos (theta)

and Fm = mgsin(theta)

Then mgcos theta = Fnet

mgcos (theta) = P+Fm

mgcos (theta) = P+mgsin(theta)

P = mgcos (theta) - mgsin(theta)... (2)

Given mass = 10kg

g = 9.81m/s

We can get theta from the formula;

µ = Ff/R = wsin theta/wcos theta

µ = sin theta/cos theta

µ = tan(theta)

0.3 = tan (theta)

theta = arctan0.3

theta = 16.7°

P = 10(9.81)cos16.7° - 10(9.81)sin16.7°

P = 98.1(cos16.7°-sin16.7°)

P = 98.1(0.67)

P = 65.73N

The minimum force P required to cause impending motion is 65.73N
