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.

The only force acting on a 2.9 kg canister that is moving in an xy plane has a magnitude of 7.5 N. The canister initially has a

Elodia [21]

Answer:15.66 J

Explanation:

mass of block $\left ( m\right )=2.9 kg$

Force magnitude=7.5 N

Initial velocity = $3.9\hat{i} m/s$

Final velocity= $5.1 \hat{j} m/s$

Initial Kinetic Energy= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

= $\frac{1}{2}\times 2.9\times 3.9^2=22.05 J$

Final Kinetic Energy= $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

= $\frac{1}{2}\times 2.9\times 5.1^2=37.714 J$

Work Done =Final -Initial Kinetic energy=37.714-22.056=15.66 J

What kind of front occurs when a cold air mass replaces a warm air mass?

Andreyy89

Answer:

Explained below:

Explanation:

When a cold air mass meets a warm air mass, a front is formed and if the cold air is replacing the warm air, it is known as a cold front. Cold fronts frequently cause thunderstorms or rain showers because they pressure the air in a steep upward direction at the front's edge. They are also responsible to bring the changes in atmospheric pressure and wind direction.
