The photograph shows one of the boats in a science club's toy boat race. All the boats were powered by identical rubber bands. Judges used stopwatches to time how long each rubber band took to unwind. The table shows some
of the data the judges collected.

Which of the following statements are true of solids? a.the particles do not vibrate. b.the particles are in a fixed location. c.they have strong intermolecular forces between the atoms or molecules. d.the particles have less kinetic energy than those of liquids or gases.

The man of mass m1 and the woman of mass m2 are standing on opposite ends of the platform of mass m0 which moves with negligible friction and is initially at rest with s = 0. the man and woman begin to approach each other. derive an expression for the displacement s of the platform when the two meet in terms of the displacement x1 of the man relative to the platform.

Consider a u-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere. now equal volumes of water and light oil (ρ = 49.3 lbm/ft3) are poured from different arms. a person blows from the oil side of the u-tube until the contact surface of the two fluids moves to the bottom of the u-tube, and therefore, the liquid levels in the two arms are the same. if the fluid height in each arm is 30 in, determine the gage pressure exerted by the person on the oil by blowing.
