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

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

Coating surfaces with oil reduce friction between the surfaces because it is like when lubricating a machine, it makes it run or it makes it become smoother.

Two identical positive charges exert a repulsive force of 6.2 × 10−9 n when separated by a distance 3.7 × 10−10 m. calculate the

In-s [12.5K]

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by
$F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is their separation

In this problem, the two charges are identical, so we can call them q1=q2=q, and the formula becomes
$F=k \frac{q^2}{r^2}$

Since we know the magnitude of the force and the separation between the two charges, we can re-arrange the equation to find the value of each charge:
$q= \sqrt{ \frac{Fr^2}{k} } = \sqrt{ \frac{(6.2 \cdot 10^{-9} N)(3.7 \cdot 10^{-10}m)^2}{8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2}} }=3.07 \cdot 10^{-19} C$
