Intermolecular forces are forces that keep molecules together. For example, the forces between two water molecules. The stronger the intermolecular forces are, the more "solid" is the matter going to be, meaning that the intermolecular forces are the strongest in solids and weakest in gases.
Make sure not to confuse intERmolecular forces (forces between *molecules*) and intRAmolecular forces (forces between *atoms* that make up a molecule).
<u>We are Given:</u>
Mass of the block (m) = 500 grams or 0.5 Kg
Initial velocity of the block (u) = 0 m/s
Distance travelled by the block (s) = 8 m
Time taken to cover 8 m (t)= 2 seconds
Acceleration of the block (a) = a m/s²
<u>Solving for the acceleration:</u>
From the seconds equation of motion:
s = ut + 1/2* (at²)
<em>replacing the variables</em>
8 = (0)(2) + 1/2(a)(2)²
8 = 2a
a = 4 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the block is 4 m/s²

Answer:
- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only
- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward
There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:
- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.
- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.
