D. The molecules in water are constantly moving.

They are able to do this because they move around to take whatever shape of the container.

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Properties which are unable to bring any change in chemical composition of a substance are known as physical properties.

For example, change in shape, size, mass, volume etc are all physical properties.

Since, water is a liquid and in liquids the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. Due to which they are able to slide past each other.

Hence, liquids do not have a definite shape but they do have a definite volume as they occupy the volume of container in which they are placed.

Thus, we can conclude that the best explanation for water changes shape to fill the shape of its container is that it's a physical property of water.

BRAINLYIST ASAPPP write and claim evidence and reasoning statement that explains why mercury and Venus do not have any moons
umka2103 [35]

answer:They are too close to the sun!

Explanation:Because Mercury is so close to the Sun and its gravity, it wouldn't be able to hold on to its own moon. Any moon would most likely crash into Mercury or maybe go into orbit around the Sun and eventually get pulled into it.Same with Venus!

At a certain elevation, the pilot of a balloon has a mass of 120 lb and a weight of 119 lbf. What is the local acceleration of g
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

31.905 ft/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the pilot, m = 120 lb

Weight of the pilot, w = 119 lbf

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 32.05 ft/s²

Local acceleration of gravity of found by using the relation

Weight in lbf = Mass in lb * (local acceleration/32.174 lbft/s²)

119 = 120 * a/32. 174

119 * 32.174 = 120a

a = 3828.706 / 120

a = 31.905 ft/s²

Therefore, the local acceleration due to gravity at that elevation is 31.905 ft/s²
