Question
Chapter 17, Problem 1RCQ
To determine
Four common phases of matter
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RCQ
Solution:
The four common phases of matter are:-
Solid
- Liquid
- Gas
- Plasma
Explanation of Solution
Solids: Solids have definite shape and size. In solids the intermolecular forces between the atoms are very strong.
Liquids: Liquids acquire the shape of the container. In liquid the
Gas: In gases the intermolecular forces between the atoms are very-very small as compared to solids or liquids. So, the gaseous atoms are free to move anywhere. Gas molecules can move in all possible directions with different velocities.
Plasma: Plasma is considered as the fourth state of matter which is discovered recently.A plasma is a hot ionized gas consisting of positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons. The characteristics of plasma is different from gases, so plasma is considered as fourth state of matter
The atoms of the solids are not free to move however they can vibrate about their positions.
intermolecular forces between the molecules are weak as compared to solids. As a result the molecules of liquid can move inside the liquid. Therefore, the liquids do not possess definite shape.
Conclusion:
The four common phases of matter are:-
Solid
- Liquid
- Gas
- Plasma

If the metal sphere on the Van de Graff has a charge of 0.14 Coulombs and the person has a mass of 62 kg, how much excess charge would the person need in order to levitate at a distance 25 cm from the center of the charged metal sphere? Assume you can treat both the person and the metal sphere as point charges a distance 25 cm from each other
If the metal sphere on the Van de Graff has a charge of 0.14 Coulombs and the person has a mass of 62 kg, how much excess charge would the person need in order to levitate at a distance 25 cm from the center of the charged metal sphere? Assume you can treat both the person and the metal sphere as point charges a distance 25 cm from each other (so that you can use Coulomb's Law to calculate the electrical force).
Using Coulomb's Law, calculate the magnitude of the electrical force between two protons located 1 meter apart from each other. (Give your answer as the number of Newtons but as usual you only need to include the number, not the unit label.)

- Part A You want to get an idea of the magnitude of magnetic fields produced by overhead power lines. You estimate that a transmission wire is about 12 m above the ground. The local power company tells you that the line operates at 12 kV and provide a maximum of 60 MW to the local area. Estimate the maximum magnetic field you might experience walking under such a power line, and compare to the Earth's field.
