Because of the definition of gravity, point-mass, and centre of mass, the centre of mass will always be the point at which gravitational forces of the surrounding mass on any opposite sides are exactly equal

The power of batteries in a circuit. The key functions of a battery and bulb in a circuit are explained. A battery is a source of energy which provides a push - a voltage - of energy to get the current flowing in a circuit. A bulb uses the electrical energy provided by the battery, but does not use current.

Answer:

p = mv

Explanation:

The momentum of a body is defined as the product of its mass and velocity. Its physical symbol is 'p'.
The formula for momentum is given by

p = mv

Where,

m - the mass of the body in kg

v - velocity of the body in m/s

Therefore, the unit of momentum is expressed as the kg m/s
The momentum of a body is always associated with its motion. It is a vector quantity and it is directed in the direction of the velocity vector.
If a body is at rest, the momentum associated with the body is zero.
The momentum plays a significant role in the kinematics of the body. As similar to the energy conservation law, the total momentum of the body is conserved.

How do i do this question？just number 5

Start by arranging the materials by the sonic speed and then their physical state:

$4600 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}$ - Copper (solid)
$4500 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}$ - Glass (solid)
$4000 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}$ - Wood (solid)

$1500 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}$ - Sea Water (liquid)
$1200 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}$ - Acetone (liquid)
$1100 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}$ - Alcohol (liquid)

$972 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}$ - Helium (gas)
$267 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-1}$ - Carbon dioxide (gas)

What trend do you identify from these data? Here's what I've got:

$\text{Sonic Speed}: \text{solid} > \text{liquid} > \text{gas}$

5 b)

The way microscopic particles are arranged in a substance helps distinguish between different physical states:

Particles in a solid are held tightly in place with small separation in between; it's hard for particles in a solid to move past one another; solids therefore have shapes that persists over time.
Particles in a gas are highly mobile- they keep moving AT ALL TIMES. There are large separations between individual particles and therefore gases tend to show no definite shape or volume.
The arrangement of particles in a liquid is located somewhere in between that of solids and gases. The exact configuration is dependent on the nature of the liquid- for example, molecules in maple syrup are held way closer to each other than those in distilled water are.

Sound travels as a longitudinal wave. As a sound wave passes through a medium, individual particles become excited and gain energy; as they run into others they transfer their energy to the next particle; the sound wave thus propagate across the medium. With a lower average distance between individual particles this action can proceed at a greater rate in average solids than in average liquids, and in average liquids than in average gases. Hence the trend.
