The phase of matter that has a fixed volume and variable shape would be solids. 

Air, liquid, and gas all have variable shapes. Air can be compressed and put inside of can, so the shape of it changes. Liquid can be poured and can take the shape of whatever type of container it is in. Gas is the same way and it can take any shape.

Solids don't change their shape, and gases have no fixed volume. So the answer must be the LIQUID phase.

Determine if the data are qualitative, quantitative, or neither. Zinc is a silver-gray metal. Chlorine has a density of 3.2 g/L.
AysviL [449]

Qualitative data gives the information of quality which can not be measured in numbers. For example: Color of eyes, softness of skin.

Quantitative data is information of quantity that can be represented in numbers. For example length and mass of any object.

Zinc is a silver-gray metal is a qualitative data, here silver gray color is quality of zinc metal which can not be measured in numbers.

Chlorine has a density of 3.2 g/L is a quantitative data. The value of density can be compared with other elements by comparing the numbers.

Gallium is not found in nature is neither qualitative nor quantitative.

Nitrogen has a melting point of –210.00 °C is a quantitative data because this is expressed in numbers.

Aluminum is a solid is a qualitative data because it tells about the state of element which can not be measured in numbers.

A boy of mass 80 kg slides down a vertical pole, and a frictional force of 480 N acts on him. What is his acceleration as he sli
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

His acceleration is \overrightarrow{a}=4\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that acceleration of a body is cause by a net force, the relation between them is:

\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a}

On the boy there're acting two forces, his weight (W) that points downward and the frictional force (f) that points upward (they boy moves downward and friction always is opposite to movement). So \sum\overrightarrow{F}=\overrightarrow{W}+\overrightarrow{f} so (1) is:

\overrightarrow{W}+\overrightarrow{f}=m\overrightarrow{a}

Using the positive direction downward weight and gravitational acceleration(g) are positive and friction force is negative:

W-f=m\overrightarrow{a}, solving for a:

\overrightarrow{a}=\frac{W-f}{m}, weight is mg:

\overrightarrow{a}=\frac{mg-f}{m}=\overrightarrow{f}=\frac{(80kg)(10\frac{m}{s^{2}})-(480)}{80}

\overrightarrow{a}=4\frac{m}{s^{2}}
