Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass

Explanation:

The word "matter" refers to anything that has mass, either organic or inorganic. Matter is made up of atoms, which consists of a nucleus (made up of protons, positively charged, and neutrons, electrically neutron) and electrons which revolve around the nucleus.

The number of protons in the atom determine the element: there are more than 100 different elements in nature, with different properties depending on the number of electrons they have.

Matter can be in three different states also:

- solid: the atoms are tightly bond to each other, so they cannot move

- liquids: atoms are not bond to each other, so they can slide past each other, but still they have some intermolecular forces that keep them close to each other

- gas: atoms are free to move, as there are no forces that keep them close to each other

What does a moving charge experience when it is near a magnetic field

mars1129 [50]

When a moving charge is near a magnetic field, it experiences a force. The magnetic field has the ability to attract or repel charge in a magnetic field, and thus the moving charge will experience a force on it. Hope this helps.

The parking brake on a 1000 kg Cadillac has failed, and it is rolling slowly, at 1 mph , toward a group of small children. Seein

GalinKa [24]

Um of momenta = 0( Since both the cars stop)
Let m1 be the mass of the cadillac and m2 be the mass of the volkswagen. 
then, v1=speed of cadillac and v2=speed of volkswagen. 
Therefore, (m1)*(v1) + (m2)*(v2) = 0 
Substituting, 
(1000*4) + (2000*v2) = 0 
4000 = - 2000 v2 
Therefore, v2= - 2 m/s.

Two objects exert a gravitational force on 8N on one another what would that force be if the mass of both objects were doubled?

jolli1 [7]

Gravitational force of attraction between two objects can be calculated from the following formula:
$F = \frac{m_1 \cdot m_2}{r^{2}}$
Where m with subscript stands for mass of the object and r is the distance between them.
When we double the mass of those two objects, distance between them stays the same, while in the numerator we have:
$2\cdot m_1 \cdot 2 \cdot m_2 = 4\cdot m_1 \cdot m_2$
When numerator in the second case 4 times greater than the 'original' numerator and denominator stays the same, force becomes 4 times greater.

Which of the following groups of elements do not have a change and why?

zheka24 [161]

The Noble Gases are the most unreactive b/c its outermost shell completes the energy level and is stable enough.

Elements in the each group have the same number of valence electrons.
