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

Flauer [41]

Answer:

velocity = 1527.52 ft/s

Acceleration = 80.13 ft/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

Radius of rotation; r = 32,700 ft

Radial acceleration; a_r = r¨ = 85 ft/s²

Angular velocity; ω = θ˙˙ = 0.019 rad/s

Also, angle θ reaches 66°

So, velocity of the rocket for the given position will be;

v = rθ˙˙/cos θ

so, v = 32700 × 0.019/ cos 66

v = 1527.52 ft/s

Acceleration is given by the formula ;

a = a_r/sinθ

For the given position,

a_r = r¨ - r(θ˙˙)²

Thus,

a = (r¨ - r(θ˙˙)²)/sinθ

Plugging in the relevant values, we obtain;

a = (85 - 32700(0.019)²)/sin66

a = (85 - 11.8047)/0.9135

a = 80.13 ft/s²

An object whose weight is 10kg is placed on smooth plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal. find the acceleration of the object
velikii [3]

Answer:

4.9 m/s²

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are two forces on the object:

Weight force mg pulling straight down,

and normal force N pushing perpendicular to the plane.

Sum the forces in the parallel direction.

∑F = ma

mg sin θ = ma

a = g sin θ

a = (9.8 m/s²) (sin 30°)

a = 4.9 m/s²

Katyanochek1 [597]
When a perfume bottle is opened, some liquid changes to gas and the fragrance spreads around the room because gases do not have a definite volume.

Hope this helps!
