Answer: The correct answer is "liquid".

Explanation:

The states of the matter are: Solid, liquid and gas.

Liquid: The particles of the solid are loosely packed in comparison to gas and solid. The inter molecular force between the particles are stronger than gas. It has no definite shape but volume. It takes the shape of the container.

Gas: The particles of the solid are more loosely packed. The inter molecular force between the particles are weaker than liquid and solid. It has no definite shape.

Solid: The particles of the solid are tightly packed. The inter molecular force between the particles are stronger than liquid and gas. It has definite shape and volume.

Therefore, liquid that will change shape to fit its container but has a definite volume is in a phase of matter.

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer :

a) I1 = I2

b) J1 > J2

c) E 1 > E2

d) ( vd1 ) > ( vd2 )

Explanation:

a) The currents in the two segments are the same i.e. I1 = I2 and this is because the segments are connected in series

b) Comparing the current densities J1 and J2 in the two segments

note : current density ∝ 1 / area

The area of the second segment is > the area of first segment therefore

J1 > J2

J1 ( current density of first segment )

J2 ( current density of second segment )

c) Comparing the electric field strengths E1 and E2

note : electric field strength ∝ current density

since current density of first segment is > current density of second segment and conductivity of the materials are the same hence

E 1 > E2

d) Comparing the drift speeds Vd1 and Vd2

( vd1 ) > ( vd2 )

this because ; vd ∝ current density

Semenov [28]

Answer:

$f_n=3.75N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Frictional force $F=0.150N$

Coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu=0.04$

Generally the equation for Normal for is mathematically given by

$f_n=\frac{F}{\mu}$

Therefore

$f_n=\frac{0.150}{0.04}$

$f_n=3.75N$

A) f = 1.8 rev/s = 2 Hz
T = 1 / f = 0.55s

B) not really sure..srry

C) T = 2 pi √ ( L / g ) 
0.57 = 2 x 3.14 x √ ( 0.2 / g )

g = 25.5 m/s²
