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 horizontal force of 140 N is needed to pull a 60kg box across the horizontal floor at constant speed . Find the coefficient of

____ [38]

Explanation:

formula for force is:

force=mass × acceleration

but in case of friction

force =coefficient of friction × Normal Reaction

F. = u × R

U = F/R

but when placed horizontally

R= M×G

M=mass=60kg

G=Gravity(10m/s or 9.8m/s)

F=140N

U=140/60×10

U=140/600

U=0.2333333333

approximately to 3 significant figures

U=0.233

if i am correct rate it 5 star

f an arrow is shot upward on the moon with velocity of 35 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h(t)=35t−0.83t

inysia [295]

Answer:

The velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds is 30.02 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

An arrow is shot upward on the moon with velocity of 35 m/s, its height after t seconds is given by the equation:

$h(t)=35t-0.83t^2$

We know that the rate of change of displacement is equal to the velocity of an object.

$v(t)=\dfrac{dh(t)}{dt}\\\\v(t)=\dfrac{d(35t-0.83t^2)}{dt}\\\\v(t)=35-1.66t$

Velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds will be :

$v(t)=35-1.66t\\\\v(t)=35-1.66(3)\\\\v(t)=30.02\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds is 30.02 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

In an experiment in space, one proton is held fixed and another proton is released from rest a distance of 1.00 mm away. part a

mihalych1998 [28]

<span>We can use Coulomb's law to find the force F acting on the proton that is released. F = k x Q1 x Q2 / r^2 k = 9 x 10^9 Q1 is the charge on one proton which is 1.6 x 10^{-19} C Q2 is the same charge on the other proton r is the distance between the protons F = (9x10^9) x (1.6 x 10^{-19} C) x (1.6 x 10^{-19} C) / (10^{-3})^2 F = 2.304 x 10^{-22} N We can use the force to find the acceleration. F = ma a = F / m a = (2.304 x 10^{-22} N) / (1.67 x 10^{-27} kg) a = 1.38 x 10^5 m/s^2 The initial acceleration of the proton is 1.38 x 10^5 m/s^2</span>
