Hello,

When a skydiver first jumps off a plane potential energy (energy in an object due to its position) will be converted into kinetic energy (energy which a body possesses because of its motion.)

ELEN [110]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a solid, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are unable to move from their initial place but they can vibrate at their mean position.

Hence, in solid substances the molecules have low kinetic energy.

Whereas in liquids, the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. Due to which they are able to slide past each other. Hence, they have medium kinetic energy.

In gases, the molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. Hence, they have high kinetic energy due to which they move rapidly from one place to another leading to more number of collisions.

Hence, gases are able to expand more rapidly as compared to liquids.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options solid = low; liquid = medium; gas = high, combination of the state of matter and the corresponding dryer speed is correct.

You travel 20.0 mph for 0.500 hour, 40.0 mph for 1.00 hour, 30.0 mph for 0.500 hour, and 50.0 mph for 2.00 hours. What is the av

The answer is 41.25 mph.

The average speed (v) can be expressed as:
v = D/T
where
D is total distance: D = d1 + d2 + d3 + d4
T is total time: T = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4

Now let's calculate distances using the formula: d = v * t:
d1 = v1 * t1 = 20.0 * 0.500 = 10 mi
d2 = v2 * t2 = 40.0 * 1.00 = 40 mi
d3 = v3 * t3 = 30.0 * 0.500 = 15 mi
d4 = v4 * t4 = 50.0 * 2.00 = 100 mi

Thus, the average speed is:
$v= \frac{D}{T}= \frac{d1 + d2 + d3 +d4}{t1+t2+t3+t4} = \frac{10+40+15+100}{0.500+1.00+0.500+2.00}= \frac{165}{4} = 41.25 mph$
