Solid State Physics

The freezing point of propanone is -94,7 oC.

If there is resonance, then making one vibrate will also make the other one vibrate in a noticeable way, since:* The vibrations are transmitted through the air, and

* Any such small effect is reinforced, over time, due to resonance.

Electricity could be defined as a motion of charge. When you dissolve an ionic compound in water, the ions will separate and therefore create charges. However, if you dissolve a covalent compound like sugar, it will dissolve without separating which won't create any charge.

Examples of matter that exist as solids include ice, wood, and metal. Examples of matter that exist as liquids include water, oil, and milk. Examples of matter that exist as gases include oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen.

The density of glycerin at 13 degrees Celsius is approximately 1.261 grams per cubic centimeter.

Gold is significantly denser than sand and gravel, allowing it to settle to the bottom of the pan when the mixture is agitated in water. Its malleability and ductility enable it to be easily shaped into small particles that can be captured in the ridges of the pan while the lighter materials wash away. Gold's distinctive color also makes it easier to identify against the backdrop of sand and gravel.

A car skidding on an icy road will exhibit kinetic friction, which is the force that resists the motion of two surfaces sliding against each other. The low coefficient of friction between the icy road and the car's tires makes it easier for the car to skid.

The molecules slow down.

The helical shape of a bi-metallic thermometer helps to amplify the movement of the jointed bi-metallic strip when temperature changes occur. This allows for a more accurate and visible indication of temperature fluctuations by increasing the sensitivity of the thermometer. Additionally, the helical shape provides support and protection to the delicate mechanism inside the thermometer.

An exothermic change is a chemical reaction that releases heat to its surroundings, resulting in an increase in temperature. This type of reaction gives off energy in the form of heat as the reactants are converted to products. Examples include combustion reactions and many types of oxidation reactions.

• the element iron has loosely bound valence electrons in what is called the conduction band. these electrons form what is called an electron gas in the bulk metal, this gas flows easily in response to an electrical potential difference placed across the metal.
• the compound wood is composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. their valence electrons are tightly bound in the covalent bonds holding the atoms together, they are not free to move.

The To and Fro motion about the mean position of any system is known as the vibration or oscillation. Example- A simple pendulum.

The Fermi energy of a metal like sodium can be calculated using the formula: ( E_F = \frac{{h^2}}{{2m}} \left( \frac{{3n}}{{8\pi}} \right)^{2/3} ), where ( h ) is the Planck constant, ( m ) is the electron mass, and ( n ) is the number density of electrons in the metal. By substituting the values of these constants and known properties of sodium into the formula, you can calculate the Fermi energy.

1 psi (pound per square inch) is equivalent to 6.895 kPa (kilopascal). To determine the volume of water in liters that exerts 1 psi in one hour, the specific conditions of the system (such as the size of the container or the flow rate) need to be known. The volume of water can be calculated using the formula V = (P * A * t) / (ρ * g), where P is the pressure in pascals, A is the cross-sectional area, t is time in seconds, ρ is the density of water, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Yes, it is possible to mix solids and liquids together. This could involve dissolving a solid substance in a liquid to create a solution, or combining them to form a suspension where the solid particles remain dispersed throughout the liquid.

Yes, the speed of a particle can affect whether it can escape a liquid. This is because the escape of a particle from a liquid involves overcoming intermolecular forces that hold the particle in the liquid. If the particle has sufficient kinetic energy (which is related to its speed), it can break free from these forces and escape from the liquid.

Myself? No I cannot.

However, particle accelerators do it all the time.

The kinetic energy of two particles smashing into each other becomes several more particles.

Light -- as "pure" an energy as can be imagined -- is often seen as becoming an electron positron pair.

The angle of shear is the angle between the shear plane and the direction perpendicular to the normal stress in a material under shear stress. It represents the amount of deformation occurring due to shear forces acting on the material.

The characteristic that could distinguish a crystalline solid from an amorphous solid is the orderly arrangement of particles in a repetitive, three-dimensional pattern in crystalline solids, whereas amorphous solids lack this long-range order and have a more random arrangement of particles. This results in crystalline solids having a definite melting point, sharp diffraction patterns, and characteristic shapes, while amorphous solids have a gradual softening over a range of temperatures, no regular diffraction patterns, and lack distinct shapes.

Thermal vibrations refer to the random movement of atoms or molecules within a material due to their thermal energy. As the temperature of a material increases, the atoms or molecules vibrate more vigorously, causing them to move around within their lattice structure. This motion can affect the mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of the material.

Yes. If the temperature changes enough, the viscosity of oil will change, too. Oil is designed to resist changes in viscosity with temperature changes, at least to a degree. But if the change (either hotter or colder) is extreme, then the viscocity will most certainly change. And, as you'd expect, as it gets hotter, the viscosity of oil decreases (it get thinner), and as it gets colder, the viscosity of oil increases (it gets thicker).

The statement "the bigger they are, the harder they fall" suggests that individuals or entities that are powerful or successful are more likely to experience a significant downfall. This is often seen as a warning against becoming too overconfident or complacent in one's achievements. While there can be instances where this proves to be true, it is not a universal rule that applies in every situation.

A mirror reflects light by causing photons to bounce off its smooth surface at an angle equal to the angle of incidence. In pitch black darkness, where there is no light to reflect off a surface, it is not possible to have a reflection in the traditional sense. However, some surfaces can reflect a limited amount of light even in very low light conditions due to their material properties.

Well, the water would normally flow away, so you would either have to use a container (plastic or glass), or freeze the water.

Any real outdoors-man knows that you can make a lens out of water and a plastic bag. In fact, if you are really good at this you can start fires using this type of lens to focus sunlight.
