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.

(a) 328.6 kg m/s

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger in the car is equal to the change in momentum of the passenger:

I=\Delta p = m\Delta v

where

m = 62.0 kg is the mass of the passenger

\Delta v is the change in velocity of the car (and the passenger), which is

\Delta v = 5.30 m/s - 0 = 5.30 m/s

So, the linear impulse experienced by the passenger is

I=(62.0 kg)(5.30 m/s)=328.6 kg m/s

(b) 404.7 N

The linear impulse experienced by the passenger is also equal to the product between the average force and the time interval:

I=F \Delta t

where in this case

I=328.6 kg m/s is the linear impulse

\Delta t = 0.812 s is the time during which the force is applied

Solving the equation for F, we find the magnitude of the average force experienced by the passenger:

F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{328.6 kg m/s}{0.812 s}=404.7 N

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The starting velocity for ball 1 is 1.00 meter/second. Its ending velocity is 0.25 meter/second.

The change in velocity for ball 1 is 0.25 – 1.00 = -0.75 meter/seconds
