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.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer: The force of attraction that holds two molecules is a chemical bond

Explanation:

What is Chemical bonds?

Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together to make compounds or molecules.

Types of chemical bonds

Chemical bonds include

1.covalent,

2. polar covalent, and

3. ionic bonds.

Atoms with relatively similar electronegativities share electrons between them and are connected by covalent bonds.

A body is at aheight of 81m and is ascending upwards with a velocity of 12m/s .a body of 2 kg weight is dropped from it.if g=10m
butalik [34]
First the velocity drops to zero in 1.2 secs. In those seconds it went upwards for 7.2 m, then it went from 87.2 to 0m. x-x0=v0*t+1/2*g*t^2 ergo t=sqrt(2x/g) that is 4.1761 s. Finally the total time required is 5.3761 s

Money is not a medium of exchange for acquiring goods and services.<br> a. True<br> b. False
bonufazy [111]

False, money is a medium of exchange to acquire goods and services.

Depending on what you want to cancel, it is advisable to pay with cash or bank transfer.

Also, it is important to know that each country has its own exchange currency.

In the United States, the currency is the dollar.

In Europe, the currency is the euro.

A cord is used to vertically lower an initially stationary block of mass M = 3.6 kg at a constant downward acceleration of g/7.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

(a) W_c=127.008 J

(b) W_g=148.176 J

(c) K.E. = 21.168 J

(d) v=3.4293m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of a block, M = 3.6 kg
  • initial velocity of the block, u=0 m.s^{-1}
  • constant downward acceleration, a_d= \frac{g}{7}

\Rightarrow That a constant upward acceleration of \frac{6g}{7} is applied in the presence of gravity.

∴a=- \frac{6g}{7}

  • height through which the block falls, d = 4.2 m

(a)

Force by the cord on the block,

F_c= M\times a

F_c=3.6\times (-6)\times\frac{9.8}{7}

F_c=-30.24 N

∴Work by the cord on the block,

W_c= F_c\times d

W_c= -30.24\times 4.2

We take -ve sign because the direction of force and the displacement are opposite to each other.

W_c=-127.008 J

(b)

Force on the block due to gravity:

F_g= M.g

∵the gravity is naturally a constant and we cannot change it

F_g=3.6\times 9.8

F_g=35.28 N

∴Work by the gravity on the block,

W_g=F_g\times d

W_g=35.28\times 4.2

W_g=148.176 J

(c)

Kinetic energy of the block will be equal to the net work done i.e. sum of the two works.

mathematically:

K.E.= W_g+W_c

K.E.=148.176-127.008

K.E. = 21.168 J

(d)

From the equation of motion:

v^2=u^2+2a_d\times d

putting the respective values:

v=\sqrt{0^2+2\times \frac{9.8}{7}\times 4.2 }

v=3.4293m.s^{-1} is the speed when the block has fallen 4.2 meters.
