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!

penguins! so momentum is based on mass and velocity, the advantages is that they have stored mass in the form of like fats to keep them warm however they are built to slide basically so that there is less friction when they travel so sideways their bullet like shape helps increase velocity so they have both mass and considerable velocity!

Approximately how many atoms are there along a 9.5 cm line
uranmaximum [27]
First convert 5.5 cm to meters.

(5.5 cm / 1) x (m / 100 cm) = 0.055 m

A typical atom is about 1.0E-10 m in diameter; thus:

0.055 m / 1.0E-10 m = 5.5E8 atoms or 550,000,000 end-to-end atoms in 5.5 cm

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

KE₂ = 4KE₁

Explanation:

KE₁ = ½mv₁²

KE₂ = ½mv₂²

KE₂ = ½m(2v₁)²

KE₂ = 4(½mv₁²)

KE₂ = 4KE₁
