Because they have no dignified shape they take on the shape of whate ever container they are in and when you pour in out it can't really take any shape except tho lay flat on the table. and solids do not flow because they have a dignified shape. hope it helps!

The reason that solids are not able to move freely is because their structure and "lack of" energy they stay together from it mutual bonds. Liquids are able to move freely because they are moving ever so slightly and there bonds are weaker than of a solid, allowing the liquid molecules to slid past each other.

If a 80kg diver jumps off of a 5 m high dive into a regulation diving pool, how much should the temperature of the pool go up?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The answer cannot be determined.

Explanation:

The energy of the diver when he hits the pool will be equal to its potential energy mgh, and for the temperature of the pool to rise up, this energy has to be converted into the heat energy of the pool.

The change in temperature {\Delta}T then will be

{\Delta}T=\frac{{\Delta}Q}{mc} .

Where m is the mass of water in the pool, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and {\Delta}Q is the added heat which in this case is the energy of the diver.

Since we do not know the mass of the water in the pool, we cannot make this calculation.
