<u>Answer: </u>The particles of gases are moving with a greater kinetic energy than the particles of liquid state.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In gaseous state, the particles are randomly arranged which means there is a lot of intermolecular spacing between them. This means that the particles are constant moving and have more kinetic energy.

In liquid state, the particles are arranged orderly as compared to the gaseous state which means that the intermolecular spacing between the particles is less than the gaseous state. This means that the particles have less kinetic energy.

We are given that the temperature is a measure of how much the atoms in a substance is moving and kinetic energy is the energy which is possessed by the virtue of the object's motion.

More the kinetic energy, high will be the temperature and vice-versa.

Hence, gaseous state has more kinetic energy and thus have higher temperature and therefore, the substance feels hotter.

Hey there!
In a gas state, particles have lots of energy, so they move around very rapidly, hitting each other and flowing around, that's why you see them moving so freely. Because they have so much energy, the substance is likely to be harder, as it can obtain more thermal energy, or heat.
Hope this helps!

one car accelerates at half the rate of another how much longer does it take the first car to travel a quarter mile
Orlov [11]

Answer:

t=1/4v1

Explanation:

Given data

Car one

Speed =v1

Time =t

Distance =1/4 mile

Given data

Car two

Speed =v1/2

Time =t

Distance =d

Speed =distance/time

v1=1/4/t

v1t=1/4

t=1/4*1/v1

t=1/4v1 seconds

Ultraviolet rays are used to _____.
NeTakaya

Answer:

Grow plants where little light is available

Explanation:

The plants need the ultraviolet rays in order to be able to survive and develop. The need mainly comes from the dependence of these rays for production of food, in a process known as photosynthesis. The plants are producers, thus they create their own food. In order to be able to do that they are using the ultraviolet rays, as well as water, and carbon dioxide. By combining them, the plants manage to create glucose for them, and that is their food source. The plants that are kept at places where there's not enough light are often exposed to ultraviolet rays so that they are able to perform the process of photosynthesis and grow properly.

A hummingbird flies forward and backward. Its motion is shown on the above graph of horizontal Position and
harina [27]

Answer:

The hummingbird travels the total distance is 10 m

Explanation:

Given that,

A hummingbird flies forward and backward.

According to figure,

We know that,

The total distance is equal to the sum of all distance.

Forward direction is positive and backward direction is negative.

We need to calculate  the hummingbird travels the total distance

Using figure,

D=d_{1}+d_{2}+d_{3}+d_{4}

Put the value into the formula

D=6+(-4)+2+6

D=10\ m

Hence, The hummingbird travels the total distance is 10 m.

hello friends,i need your help my home work now in physics,topic:motion.40 marks +brainliest if correct .​
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Vertical position is given by

df = do + vo t - 1/2 a t^2      df = final position = 0 (on the ground)

                                           do =original position = 2 m

                                            vo = original <u>VERTICAL</u> velocity = 0

                                            a = acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

THIS BECOMES

0 = 2 + 0 * t  - 1/2 ( 9.81)t^2

  to show t =<u> .639 seconds to hit the ground </u>

During this .639 seconds it flies horizontally at 10 m/s for a distance of

      10 m/s * .639 s =<u> 6.39 m </u>
