True or False: Molecules in a gas resist crowding and get as far apart as possible. Free electrons also resist crowding and get

as far apart as possible. When a tank is filled with gas the molecules distribute themselves more or less uniformly throughout the tank's volume, thereby giving each molecule the maximum possible distance from its nearest neighbors. When a copper ball is charged with electricity, the free electrons will distribute themselves more or less uniformly throughout the ball's volume for much the same reason.

Answer:

This statement is False.

Explanation:

This is because the molecules of gases are randomly traveling and they even sometimes collide with each other. So, it is true that they resist crowding but it is not always possible for the gas molecules to be as far apart as possible because of their random movements. This also makes it impossible for the gas molecules in the tank to be always at the maximum possible distance from its nearest neighbor.

However, the distance between the electrons is not due to random movements like gases. Electrons are placed at the distance from each other due to the forces of repulsion between them, as the same charged particles always repel each other. So, the dispersion of the electron on the copper ball is not due to the random distribution of electrons. However, they will be placed at a distance to each other due to the force of repulsion between them.

A 150 g particle at x = 0 is moving at 8.00 m/s in the +x-direction. As it moves, it experiences a force given by Fx=(0.850N)sin
krok68 [10]

Answer:

9.98 m/s

Explanation:

The force acting on the particle is defined by the equation:

F=(0.850) sin (\frac{x}{2.00}) [N]

where x is the position in metres.

The acceleration can be found by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}

where

m = 150 g = 0.150 kg is the mass of the particle. Substituting into the equation,

a=\frac{0.850}{0.150}sin (\frac{x}{2.00})=5.67 sin(\frac{x}{2.00}) [m/s^2]

When x = 3.14 m, the acceleration is:

a=5.67 sin(\frac{3.14}{2.00})=5.67 m/s^2

Now we can find the final speed of the particle by using the suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2ax

where

u = 8.00 m/s is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a=5.67 m/s^2

x = 3.14 m is the displacement

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2+2ax}=\sqrt{8.00^2+2(5.67)(3.14)}=9.98 m/s

And the speed is just the magnitude of the velocity, so 9.98 m/s.

An athlete stretches a spring an extra 40.0 cm beyond its initial length. how much energy has he transferred to the spring, if t
marissa [1.9K]
The energy transferred to the spring is given by:
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2
where 
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation of the spring with respect its initial length

Let's convert the data into the SI units:
k=52.9 N/cm = 5290 N/m
x=40.0 cm=0.4 m

so now we can use these data inside the equation ,to find the energy transferred to the spring:
U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2= \frac{1}{2}(5290 N/m)(0.4m)^2=423.2 J
