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

(i) a force of 35.0 n is required to start a 6.0-kg box moving across a horizontal concrete floor, (a) what is the coefficient o
Serjik [45]

a. The force applied would be equal to the frictional force.

F = us Fn

where, F = applied force = 35 N, us = coeff of static friction, Fn = normal force = weight

 

35 N = us * (6 kg * 9.81 m/s^2)

us = 0.595

 

b. The force applied would now be the sum of the frictional force and force due to acceleration

F = uk Fn + m a

where, uk = coeff of kinetic friction

 

35 N = uk * (6 kg * 9.81 m/s^2) + (6kg * 0.60 m/s^2)

uk = 0.533

You have a neutral balloon. What is its charge after 12000 electrons have been removed from it? The elemental charge is 1.6 × 10
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

1.92×10^-9 microCoulomb

Explanation:

Elemental charge = 1.6×10^-19 Coulomb

Charge of balloon after 12,000 electrons have been removed from it = 12,000 × 1.6×10^-19 Coulomb = 1.92×10^-15 Coulomb = 1.92×10^-15/10^-6 = 1.92×10^-9 microCoulomb

What would the weight of an astronaut be on Saturn if his mass is 68 kg and acceleration of gravity on Saturn is 10.44 m/s2? Ple
alex41 [277]

Here's the part you need to know:

       (Weight of anything) =

                 (the thing's mass)
times
                 (acceleration of gravity in the place where the thing is) .

                 Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

That's always true everywhere.
You should memorize it.

For the astronaut on Saturn . . .

                   Weight = (mass ) x (gravity) .

                
  Weight =  (68 kg) x (10.44 m/s²)

                        
      =    709.92 newtons .
__________________________________

On Earth, gravity is only  9.8 m/s².
So as long as the astronaut is on Earth, his weight is only

                                   (68 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)

                               =    666.4 newtons .

Notice that his mass is his mass ... it doesn't change
no matter where he goes. 

But his weight changes in different places, because
it depends on the gravity in each place.

What is the relationship between the size of a predator population and the size of a prey population
Contact [7]
<span>Let's put it this way. Say you have a killer-whale and a penguin. Killer-whales are major predators to penguins. Now, say the killer-whale population increases. The penguins would be eaten more by the killer-whales, then causing a population decrease for the penguins. If the population decreases, they're won't be enough penguins, and they most likely will become extinct, as well as causing a population decrease for the killer-whales as well. Whereas, vis versa, they're were a killer-whale population decrease. The penguins would be less hunted, therefore, creating a population increase for the penguins.</span>

It is important to wear protective equipment in both practice and games.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

OT

It is important to wear protective equipments during games and practices.

Explanation:

Practice is a review of what is about to happen in some time to come and with practice ,the future can be trusted.

During practice it is very important to use protective gears or equipments because without them, injuries and accidents are liable to occur.

During the major game it is also important to prevent accidents or big injuries as the equipments protect each vital part of the body.
