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

A 16.2 kg person climbs up a uniform ladder with negligible mass. The upper end of the ladder rests on a frictionless wall. The
S_A_V [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of forces. We will decompose the forces in the vertical and horizontal sense, and at the same time, we will perform summation of torques to eliminate some variables and obtain a system of equations that allow us to obtain the angle.

The forces in the vertical direction would be,

\sum F_x = 0

f-N_w = 0

N_w = f

The forces in the horizontal direction would be,

\sum F_y = 0

N_f -W =0

N_f = W

The sum of Torques at equilibrium,

\sum \tau = 0

Wdcos\theta - N_wLsin\theta = 0

WdCos\theta = fLSin\theta

f = \frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}

The maximum friction force would be equivalent to the coefficient of friction by the person, but at the same time to the expression previously found, therefore

f_{max} = \mu W=\frac{Wd}{Ltan\theta}

\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{d}{\mu L})

Replacing,

\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{0.9}{0.42*2})

\theta = 46.975\°

Therefore the minimum angle that the person can reach is 46.9°

Three balls with the same radius 21 cm are in water. Ball 1 floats, with
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

A )

The ball floats with half of it exposed above the water level . So it must have density half that of water . In other words its density must have been 500 kg / m³

B )

Tension in the ball will be equal to net force acting on the ball

Net force on the ball = buoyant force - weight .

4/3 x π x .21³ x 10⁻⁶ x 9.8 ( 1000 - 893 )

= 40.65 x 10⁻⁶ N .

C )Tension in the 3 rd  ball will be equal to net force acting on the ball

Net force on the ball =  weight  - buoyant force

= 4/3 x π x .21³ x 10⁻⁶ x 9.8 ( 1320 - 1000  )

=  121.6  x 10⁻⁶ N .
