Which best explains why the shapes of a liquid can change

Physics

Nikitich [7]3 years ago

The shape of a liquid can change because of the bonds between its atoms. Atoms in a liquid are loosely bonded, allowing them to roll over one another but not completely escape one another. In contrast, the atoms in a solid are so closely packed together that they can only vibrate in place, while the atoms in a gas have such little attraction between them that they fly in every direction and do not stay near one another at all. In a liquid, the atoms still stay close to one another, but are able to move, changing the overall shape of the liquid.

Hope this helps!

The equation for the speed of an electromagnetic wave is
igomit [66]

Answer:

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

Explanation:

The speed of the electromagnetic wave in free space is given in terms of the permeability and the permittivity of free space by

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

where the permeability of free space (μ₀) is a physical constant used often in electromagnetism and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (a physical constant).

A horizontal spring with spring constant 750 N/m is attached to a wall. An athlete presses against the free end of the spring, c
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

37.5 N Hard

Explanation:

Hook's law: The force applied to an elastic material is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit of the material is not exceeded.

Using the expression for hook's law,

F = ke.............. Equation 1

F = Force of the athlete, k = force constant of the spring, e = extension/compression of the spring.

Given: k = 750 N/m, e = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

Substitute into equation 1

F = 750(0.05)

F = 37.5 N

Hence the athlete is pushing 37.5 N hard
