Why does a solid keep its shape

Physics
1 answer:
garri49 [273]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Solids can hold their shape because their molecules are tightly packed together. Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want. The molecules in a solid are stuck in a specific structure or arrangement of atoms.

The atmosphere has many roles, including:
monitta
There are five layers of the atmosphere and these are; troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. The first layer, troposphere, is where we are able to do most of our activities. This is where we can see the formation of clouds, the production of rain, hail, snow and other weather phenomenon. Also, this layer is where the greatest amount of air pressure because most of the molecules of air are in this area. Like us, air has also mass and the pressure is brought down by the earth’s gravity causing an increase in weight exerted on you as you descend lower into the atmosphere. So, as you enter into the other layers of atmosphere above the troposphere, the air pressure starts to decrease. <span>Below the atmosphere is the hydrosphere. This is where all liquid forms are located. And since the seawater has a greater mass than air, it has the greatest pressure. </span>

Which of the following statements is true? Sound waves create areas of high and low pressure. Areas of high pressure are called
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

Sound waves are mechanical waves consisting of the oscillations of the particles in a medium. They are longitudinal waves, which means that the vibrations of the particles occur in a direction parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

This type of wave consists of alternating regions where:

- the density of the particles is higher: these regions are called compressions, and they correspond to high pressure regions

- the density of the particles is lower: these regions are called rarefactions, and they correspond to low pressure regions

A hockey puck sliding at 60.0m/s slows uniformly to 20.0m/s while travelling 800.0m.
julia-pushkina [17]
A) -3.75 meters/second
A=(20^2-80^2)/(2x800)
=(400-6400)/1600
=-6000/1600
=-3.75
B) 16 seconds
t=(20-80)/-3.75
=-60/-3.75
=16

Kamal, Kamala, Krishna invert a sum of RS= 30,000 on a business in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. Find the each of their investment.​
Crazy boy [7]

Here's the <em><u>solution</u></em>,

Let the <em><u>shares</u></em> be 2x, 3x and 5x according to their shared <em><u>investment</u></em> ratio,

now, we know :

=》2x + 3x + 5x = 30000

=》10x = 30000

=》x = 3000

So, value of x = 3000

hence, the <em><u>share</u></em> of each <em><u>shareholder</u></em> is :

  • kamal = 2x = 6000
  • kamala = 3x = 9000
  • Krishna = 5x = 15000

i hope it helped.....
