Answer:

Particles of the liquid flow which allows it to take the shape of the container but it can't expand to fill it because its volume always stays the same.

Explanation:

Liquid is a state of the matter that posses an specific volume but don't have a particular shape. The particles in a liquid have space between them and they are not in a fix position which allows them to flow and take the shape of the container and as there is attraction between the particles it maintains its the volume constant which doesn't allow the liquid to expand to fill the container.

Because the atoms can't move freely enough in order to move away from the others. The don't have enough energy to be a gas

Clara rushes 30m to a truck then turns and walks back. Total travel is 120s what is her average velocity?

navik [9.2K]

Taking into account the definition of velocity, Clara's average velocity is 0.5 m/s.

<h3>Definition of velocity</h3>

Velocity is a physical magnitude that relates the displacement of an object, the time it takes to make this change in position and direction. So it is considered a vector magnitude.

In other words, the velocity can be defined as the amount of space traveled per unit of time with which a body moves, considering the direction, and can be calculated using the expression:

velocity= distance traveled÷ time

<h3>Average velocity of Clara</h3>

Clara rushes 30 m to a truck then turns and walks back. Total travel is 120s. Then, you know:
