Answer:

Solid, liquid, Gas

Explanation:

There are three main states of matter:

- Solid: a substance in a solid state has a definite shape and volume. When in solid state, the particles of the substance are tightly bound together, so they cannot move freely, but they can only vibrate about their fixed position. An example of this state is ice

- Liquid: a substance in a liquid state has definite volume but no definite shape. When in liquid state, the particles of the substance are not tightly bound, so they can slide past each other; however, there are still intermolecular forces that keep the particles close to each other, so that they cannot move freely. An example of this state is liquid water

- Gas: a substance in a gas state has no definite shape or volume. When in gas state, the intermolecular forces between the particles are negligible, so the particles are completely free to move far away from each other. An example of this state is steam

What evidence do we have that there was running (liquid) water on Mars in the past? What evidence is there for water coming out

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Scientific evidence of mars atmosphere from the past

Explanation:

The martian atmosphere consists mostly of carbon dioxide, but is very thin, less than 1% of Earth's atmosphere. However, the strong evidence of water on Mars in the past that our missions have found means that the atmosphere must have been thicker and warmer, or water would have evaporated away very quickly.

Use the graph of velocity versus time for an object to answer the question.

Pavel [41]

The statement which fairly compares segment 2 and segment 3 is These represent equal periods of time, but the force during segment 2 is different than the force during segment 3.

Since segment 2 starts at t = 60 s and ends at t = 150 s, the time interval is Δt = 150 - 60 = 90 s.

Also, segment 3 starts at t = 150 s and ends at t = 240 s, the time interval is Δt = 240 - 150 = 90 s.

So, their time periods are the equal.

We notice that segment 2 is less steep than segment 3 this implies that the acceleration in each segment is different, since the acceleration is the slope of the graph.

Since force is determined by acceleration, this implies that the force on segment 2 is different form the force acting in segment 3.

So, we have equal time periods but different forces.

So, the statement which fairly compares segment 2 and segment 3 is These represent equal periods of time, but the force during segment 2 is different than the force during segment 3.
