Answer:

D) liquid and gas

Explanation:

The three main states of matter are:

- Solid: in solids, the molecules are bond together by strong intermolecular forces, so the molecules are not free to move. Therefore, a solid has a definite shape, so it does not take the shape of its container.

- Liquid: in liquids, molecules are not bond together, so they are free to move (still, there are some weak intermolecular forces which keep them close to each other). Since in liquids molecules can slide past each other, they take the shape of the container.

- Gas: in gases, molecules are totally free to move, so gases take the shape (and also the volume) of the container.

Based on the definitions above, we can conclude that the correct answer is

D) liquid and gas

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

the magnitude of first force = 3 × 5= 15 N

ANd, the magnitude of second force = 5 × 5 = 25 N

Explanation:

The computation of the magnitude of the each force is shown below:

Provided that

Ratio of forces = 3: 5

Let us assume the common factor is x

Now

first force = 3x

And, the second force = 5x

Resultant force = 35 N

The Angle between the forces = 60 degrees

Based on the above information

Resultant force i.e. F = √ F_1^2 +F_2^2 + 2 F_1F_2cos $\theta$

35 = √[(3x)²+ (5x)²+ 2 (3x)(5x) cos 60°]

35 =√ 9x² + 25x² + 15x² (cos 60° = 0.5)

35 = √49 x²

x = 5

So, the magnitude of first force = 3 × 5= 15 N

ANd, the magnitude of second force = 5 × 5 = 25 N

Mariulka [41]

<h3>Given :- </h3>

A certain circuit is composed of two series resistors
The total resistance is 10 ohms
One of the resistor is 4 ohms

We have to find the value of other resistor?

<h3>Let's Begin :-</h3>

We know that,

In series combination,

When a number of resistances are connected in series, the equivalent I.e resultant resistance is equal to the sum of the individual resistances and is greater than any individual resistance

That is,

Rn in series = R1 + R2 + R3.....So on

Therefore,

According to the question,

We have,

R1 + R2 = 10 Ω

4 + R2 = 10Ω

R2 = 10 - 4

R2 = 6Ω

Hence, The value of R2 resistor in series is 6Ω

Which example identifies a change in motion that produces acceleration?

kifflom [539]

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity. It defines how much the velocity is changing. The acceleration can be negative and positive. Negative acceleration is when the object slows down, while positive while the object goes faster.
A ball moving at a constant speed around a circular track produces acceleration.

garri49 [273]

1)
p = 2.4 * 10^5 Pa
T = 18° C + 273.15 = 291.15 k
r = 0.25 m => V = [4/3]π(r^3) = [4/3]π(0.25m)^3 = 0.06545 m^3 = 65.45 L

Use ideal gas equation: pV = nRT => n = pV / RT = [2.4*10^5 Pa * 0.06545 m^3] / [8.31 J/k*mol * 291.15k] = 6.492 mol

Avogadro number = 1 mol = 6.022 * 10^23 atoms

Number of atoms = 6.492 mol * 6.022 *10^23 atom/mol = 39.097 * 10^23 atoms = 3.91 * 10^24 atoms

2) Double atoms => double volume

V2 / V1 = r2 ^3 / r1/3

2 = r2 ^3 / r1 ^3 => r2 ^3 = 2* r1 ^3

r2 = [∛2]r1

The factor is ∛2
