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.

erica [24]

Car A will have highest speed is 83.3m/s .

<h3>What is speed ? </h3>

The rate of change of position of an object in any direction.

The S.I unit is m/s . Speed is a scalar quantity it defines only magnitude not direction

speed = distance /time

In case of Car A ,

We have given distance 150Km in 3 min ,

First we have convert the distance km to m

150×1000m

then conversion of min to sec

38×60sec

speed = 15000/180

speed = 83.3m/sec

In case of Car B

we have given 800m in 150 min

lets convert the time into second

150×60

Speed = 800/150×60

speed = 0.88m/ s

In case of Car C

We have given here distance 250 Km and time in 8 hours

convert km to m

25000

and time into sec

88×60×60

speed = 0.86m/ s

Hence ,Car A has highest speed amongst them .

You need to build a prototype with machined parts that withstand a saline corrosive environment and temperatures above 200 degre

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Stainless steel

Explanation:

I will try to order the solutions from the least correct to the most correct.

Since a temperature greater than 200 ° F is required, that is to say approximately 93 ° c, <em>Polycaprolactone</em> is the least indicated. Its melting point is approximately 60 ° C, so it would not serve the required application.

On the other hand we have<em> Untreated aluminum</em>, which although it has a melting point higher than the required one, without a zinc and magnesium treatment it will easily oxidize in a salty environment, so it cannot be used in this choice either.

We have to compare the two steels.

The<em> Mild Steel </em>has a better corrosion resistance than the previous ones, but in a long-term cycle it will end up full of corrosion and therefore its properties will be highly affected.

Finally, we have <em>stainless steel</em>, which, as the name implies, contains in some of its variations chromium, zinc or magnesium in its alloys, which makes it highly resistant to corrosion.

In addition its melting point is above 1500 ° c.

The best choice is stainless steel.
