Answer:
A. The particles will begin to move enough
that they slide past each other.
Explanation:
When the plastic cup is heated, the Kinetic energy of its particles starts increasing. As the temperature rises, the kinetic energy keeps increasing. With the increase of K.E, the particles start moving faster and faster. When the temperature finally reaches the melting point, the K.E of the molecules is enough to break the bonds and slide past each other.
Answer:
1 m
Explanation:
L = 100 m
A = 1 mm^2 = 1 x 10^-6 m^2
Y = 1 x 10^11 N/m^2
F = 1000 N
Let the cable stretch be ΔL.
By the formula of Young's modulus



ΔL = 1 m
Thus, the cable stretches by 1 m.
To solve this problem we will start by defining the length of the shortest stick as 'x'. And the magnitude of the longest stick, according to the statement as

Both cover a magnitude of 8.32 ft, therefore

Now solving for x we have,





Therefore the shorter stick is 2.695ft long.
Explanation:
Formula for calculating the area of a rectangle A = Length *width
For statement A;
Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.4 mm.
Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.4mm
Area of the rectangle = 3.5504mm²
The rule of significant figures states that we should always convert the answer to the least number of significant figure amount the given value in question. Since 1.4mm has 2 significant figure, hence we will convert our answer to 2 significant figure.
Area of the rectangle = 3.6mm² (to 2sf)
For statement B;
Given area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 mm and width = 1.41 mm.
Area of the rectangle = 2.536mm * 1.41mm
Area of the rectangle = 3.57576mm²
Similarly, Since 1.41mm has 3 significant figure compare to 2.536 that has 4sf, hence we will convert our answer to 3 significant figure.
Area of the rectangle = 3.58mm² (to 3sf)
Based on the conversion, it can be seen that 3.6mm² is greater than 3.58mm², hence the area of rectangle in statement A is greater than the area of the rectangle in statement B.
