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

The stopping distances associated with slower speeds approximate the forward visibilities provided by low beam lights. However,
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Illumination distance is the distance, up to which the light of the vehicle can reach. Hence, it is a maximum distance from the, that driver can see.

Stopping distance is the minimum distance required by the car to stop after brakes are applied.

So, in order to avoid any accident the illumination distance must be greater than the stopping distance. So, the driver can stop the vehicle in time, when he sees something in front of it.

Since, the stopping distance in this case is two or three times longer than illumination distance. Therefore, low beam light does not provide enough visibility in high speed driving situations.

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>a. True</u>

The photons of different light waves:
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: contain different amounts of energy

Explanation:

The energy E of a photon is given by:

E=h\nu

Where:

h=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s} is the Planck constant

\nu is the frequency of the light which is inversely related to the wavelength.

Now, if we have photons of different light waves, this means we have photons with different frequencies.

As the energy of the photon depends on its frequency:

Photons of different light waves <u>contain different amounts of energy.</u>
