Answer:

  • <u><em>Copper atoms vibrate around fixed positions, whereas mercury atoms move around while staying close together. </em></u>

Explanation:

The <em>solid </em>state of matter is characterized by rigid crystalline structures, in which <em>atoms </em>can vibrate around a fixed position. That is why <em>solids</em> have definite shape and volume, and cannot flow. This is described in the last statement when it states <em>"Copper atoms vibrate around fixed positions"</em>

The <em>liquid </em>state of matter is characterized by the <em>atoms </em>being more separated than in<em> solids.</em> While the <em>atoms </em>in the liquid are not completely free to move, they can slide past the neighboring atoms, which gives them the property to flow. Therefore, the liquids, although they have a defined volume, take the form of the container. This is what the last statement describes as "mercury atoms move while remaining together"

What would happen to the volume of the container if the pressure is increased by a factor of 2​
telo118 [61]

Answer:

volume of the container will decreases if pressure increases.

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law:

Pressure is inversely proportional to volume which means if pressure of a gas increases the volume of the gas will decreases as gas molecules will collide and come closer forcefully so volume will decreases. And its formula for determining volume and pressure is:

<em>PV=nRT</em>

where "R" is a ideal gas constant

"T" is temperature and

"n" is number of particles given in moles while "V" is volume and "P" is pressure.

What is the difference between a pulley and incline plane?
erik [133]
A incline plane is a flat inclined surface. You can stick a rope in the pulley and pull one side and the other side will lift something! They are both simple machines! The difference is a incline plane is a ramp and things go up or down and the pulley lifts something with force of your weight!!

The Sun heats land and water, how is this related to wind and ocean currents?
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

"The sun warms up parts of the oceans. Warm waters rise just like warm air rises. So, as the warmer ocean waters begin to rise in a particular area, the cooler ocean waters from a different area will move in to replace the warmer ocean waters, and this creates our ocean currents."

Explanation:

Hope this is helpful :)
