Answer: D. solids and liquids only

Explanation:

Solids have definite volume because they have almost no inter-molecular space between its molecule, they are closely packed and rigid in their structure and hence they also have a definite shape.

In case of liquids we have a little inter-molecular space which makes the liquid-bulk flexible enough to attain any shape but this inter molecular space is not sufficient enough to make them compressible making them negligibly compressible. Therefore liquids are also  considered to have a difinite volume.

But in the case of gases there is very large inter molecular space and the molecules make a random motion due to very weak force of attraction between them and the space between the molecules is compressible on the application of force. So, they don't have a definite shape and definite volume.

You've recently read about a chemical laser that generates a 20.0-cm-diameter, 26.0 MW laser beam. One day, after physics class,
aksik [14]

Answer :

(a). The speed of the block is 0.395 m/s.

(b). No

Explanation :

Given that,

Diameter = 20.0 cm

Power = 26.0 MW

Mass = 110 kg

diameter = 20.0 cm

Distance = 100 m

We need to calculate the pressure due to laser

Using formula of pressure

P_{r}=\dfrac{I}{c}

P_{r}=\dfrac{P}{Ac}Put the value into the formula[tex]P_{r}=\dfrac{26.0\times10^{6}}{\pi\times(10\times10^{-2})^2\times3\times10^{8}}

P_{r}=2.75\ N/m^2

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of force

F=P\times A

F=P\times \pi r^2

Put the value into the formula

F=2.75\times\pi (0.01)^2

F=0.086\ N

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of force

F=ma

Put the value into the formula

0.086=110\times a

a=\dfrac{0.086}{110}

a=0.000781\ m/s^2

a=7.81\times10^{-4}\ m/s^2

(a). We need to calculate speed of the block

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2ad

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{2\times7.81\times10^{-4}\times100}

v=0.395\ m/s

(b). No because the velocity is very less.

Hence, (a). The speed of the block is 0.395 m/s.

(b). No

What are the horizontal and vertical components of a lizard’s displacement if it has climbed 7m directly up a tree?
madam [21]

Answer:

The horizontal component is zero.

The vertical component is 7\sin\theta

Explanation:

Given that,

The lizard climb 7m directly up on a tree.

We know that,

The horizontal component is

x=\cos\theta

The vertical component is

y=\sin\theta

If the lizard climb 7m directly up on a tree then,

We need to find the components

Using given data

The horizontal component of lizard is

x=0

The vertical component is

y=7\sin\theta

Hence, The horizontal component is zero.

The vertical component is 7\sin\theta

A car drives at steady speed around a perfectly circular track.
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

e. Both the acceleration and net force on the car point inward.

Explanation:

If no net force acts on the car, the car must drive in a straight line, at constant speed.

As the acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity vector, this means that it can produce either a change in the magnitude of the velocity (the speed) or in the direction.

In order to the car can follow a circular trajectory, it must be subjected to an acceleration, that must go inward, trying to take the car towards the center of the circle.

The net force that causes this acceleration, aims inward, and is called the centripetal force.

It is not a different type of force, it can be a friction force, a tension force, a normal force, etc., as needed.
