Solid, liquid, and gas are the three states of matter. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container, and gases have neither a fixed shape nor volume and fill the container they are in.
What is a metals ability to bend called?
A metal's ability to bend without breaking is called malleability. Metals with high malleability can be easily bent or shaped into various forms without fracturing.
What type of wood cannot be penetrated by a bullet?
All wood can be penetrated to an extent. It depends on the thickness and mass of a given piece of wood that decides how far the bullet will penetrate or if it will exit out the other side
Is wax melting an irreversible reaction?
Wax melting is a reversible physical change, not a chemical reaction. When wax melts, it changes from a solid to a liquid state due to the application of heat. Once the heat is removed, the liquid wax will solidify back into a solid form without undergoing any chemical changes.
If One kg of air is compressed from 1 m3 to 0.5 what happens to density?
Density is a measure of mass per unit of volume. Assuming no air leaks out while we compress it, the mass doesn't change. Since the volume is now half as much as before and the mass is the same, the density has doubled.
No, crystal is not a metal. Crystal refers to a solid material whose atoms are arranged in a highly ordered, repeating pattern, giving it distinct physical properties. Metals, on the other hand, are elements that typically have high electrical conductivity, luster, and malleability.
Importance of physics in the society?
differentiate of science and technology? science is the study of forces and interactions between different "things" both animate or inanimate. technology can be referred to as "things" which we make, but were developed by applying scientific law, knowing what such "things" are capable of doing
What is reduction factor of tangent galvanometer?
The reduction factor of a tangent galvanometer is the ratio of the tangent of the angle of deflection produced by a given current to the actual value of that current. It is used to calibrate the instrument so that the deflection angle can be directly related to the current flowing through it.
In the realm of fighter jets it was found that the smaller the pilot, the better they were able to withstand the rather large accelerations involved in high speed turns. These acceleration forces are very similar to a gravitational force and can be measured in multiples of g, the unit force of gravitational acceleration.
As small people are better at withstanding g forces it was the females that tended to dominate in this area. Therefore anybody who excelled at withstanding g forces, whether male or female, ended up getting called a g queen.
ans:
sorry, dont understand term "2 block" or "s2"
otherwise grav potential energy = m.g.h
= (9.8m/s/s).(2kg).(3m) I assumed the 2 means 2kg: is units of mass?
= 58.8J
the force due to grav on earth on a 2kg mass would be m.g = (9.8m/s/s).(2kg) = 19.6N
The vibrations.
If a glass exhibits resonance (a clear tone when struck or tapped it exhibits resonance) it can be shattered by using sound waves at that frequency. This causes distortions in the surface which build and cause it to shatter.
What is the advantage to a gymnast of being short in stature?
Many gymnastic moves involve a rapid rotation of the body about a horizontal axis passing through the center of gravity of the body. The difficulty of doing this is proportional to the gymnast's "radius of gyration", and this depends largely on the gymnast's stature.
Shorter people can somersault quicker.
How much force does an 70 kg astronaut exert on his chair while sitting at rest on the launch pad?
a 70kg anything on the earth surface, that isn't subject to buoyancy, will exert 70kg times 9.8m/s/s newtons = 686
this is assuming his feet aren't touching the ground and his whole weight is supported by the chair of course.
What is the difference between electron-phonon and phonon-electron interaction?
Basic Answer:
The terms "electron-phonon interaction" and "phonon-electron interaction" mean the same thing and one almost always hears the former and not the latter. In a nutshell the term refers to the fact that the usual idea of separating the quantum system of electrons and the quantum system of vibrations (phonons) is an approximation that does not answer questions about the exchange of energy between the two systems. The next most sophisticated treatment involves including a term in the Hamiltonian that approximates the mechanism for that energy exchange. That term is called the electron-phonon interaction term.
Addendum on Electron-Phonon Interaction:
If the question were posed asking to explain the electron-phonon interaction, this answer would have to discuss the process of calculating electronic energies for fixed nuclei and then solving the problem where the nuclei are allowed to move within the adiabatic approximation. That leads to the two quantum systems mentioned above and thus to the need for an improvement which treats electrons and nuclei both being treated at the same time in a quantum mechanical fashion. One proceeds with an electronic Hamiltonian and a nuclear coordinate Hamiltonian and adds a third term called the electron-phonon interaction which is meant to be a good approximation to the full quantum system and is amenable to reasonable approximation methods.
What would happen to humans if they traveled at the speed of light?
as it reaches light speed the matter will just start vanishing and disappearing which is why you can not go into light speed, light is not matter. warp drive is really the only way because it makes a sphere in the space time continuum, pushing the space forward but not you and you stay in really time and it would take less time the more concentrated the space-time is.
Do electrons in a DC circuit travel at the speed of light?
The electrons themselves do not move at the speed of light. Electrons in a DC circuit move because of the application of an electric field. Like molecules in a gas, the charge carriers, electrons, undergo a Brownian-like motion through the conductor. The average drift velocity can be calculated by I=nAvQ, where I is current, n is the number of charged particles, A is the cross section area of the conductor, v is drift velocity, and Q is the charge on each particle.
Why crystalline solids have sharp melting points whereas amorphous do not?
"As the atoms of Crystalline solids have specific shape and same distance,so they have same K.E,intermolecular forces of attraction and geometrical shape due to which Crystalline solids are blessed sharp melting points."
Supermalloy is a metal alloy that is 79% nickel, 5% molybdenum and 16% iron. It is used in mechanical and electronic components like hard drives. It is disigned to have a very high magnetic permeability and a low coercivity, meaning that magnetic fields can flow though it very easily. It is also a soft magnetic material, meaning that it doesn't stay magnetized itself once the magnetic field is removed.
Can a glass water pipe get hot enough to melt plastic with a BIC lighter?
It is unlikely for a glass water pipe to get hot enough to melt plastic with just a BIC lighter. Glass has a high melting point and requires more intense heat to melt compared to plastic. However, caution should always be exercised when heating glass with a flame to avoid any potential damage or injury.
A magnetic field does not interact with a?
A) stationary electric charge
B) moving electric charge
C) stationary magnet
D) a moving magnet
-- The scale itself is accelerating vertically, either upward or downward.
-- The scale and object are falling.
-- The scale and object are in an elevator which is either just starting out or just coming to rest.
-- The scale and object are on a space vehicle during or after launch, or in transit, or during re-entry or landing.
-- The scale and object are on the moon, or on another planet. In either of these cases, the scale reads
the correct 'weight', but it's not the reading you expect, since it's not the object's earth weight.
How does the vibration of atoms relate to the phases of matter?
In the solid phase, the atoms are tightly packed in a regular manner. They only vibrate in their own positions.
In the liquid phase, the atoms are slightly more disordered and irregularly packed. They can move around freely.
In the gaseous phase, the atoms have very large spaces between one another and they can move around at very high speeds.
What is the coloration efficiency for nickel oxide films?
Nickel oxide films are classified as electrochromic materials for which the optical absorbance (A) change under insertion (by electrochemical methods) of small cations like H+ (protons) and Li+. The coloration efficiency (CE) is defined for electrochromic materials as the change in the optical absorbance per unit of inserted charge Q, i.e, CE=(A1-A2)/Q, where Q is the inserted charge that promoted the (A1-A2) change in the optical absorbance of the nickel oxide film.
