<u>Answer </u>

kinetic


<u>Explanation</u>

Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. There are four states of matter, solids, liquids, gases and plasma. All this consist of small molecules that are in constant random motion. This is called kinetic theory of matter.

When these molecules are in motion they may collide. No energy is gained or lost during collision. The particle/molecules move in a constant linear motion.

The kinetic theory of matter states that all particles of matter are in constant motion.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>Matter </h3>

Matter is anything that has weigh and occupies space. There are three states of matter; solid, liquid, and gases.  

<h3>Kinetic theory of Matter  </h3>
  • The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made up of many small particles such as atoms or molecules that are in continuous random motion.
  • The particles making up matter possess energy which varies depending on the temperature which determines the state of matter. Particles in solid state have the lowest energy while particles in the gaseous state have the highest amount of energy.  
  • Kinetic theory of matter helps explain the states of matter and why there are different states of matter.  

According to kinetic theory of matter:

  1. Matter is made up many particles that are in constant movement
  2. All particles in matter possess energy and depends on temperature
  3. Average kinetic energy of particles is measured by the temperature of a substance
  4. Change in kinetic energy of particles may cause a change in the phase of matter.
  5. Particles in matter experience attractive forces between them which increases with decrease in distance between the particles. The attractive forces are called inter-molecular forces.

Keywords: Matter, kinetic theory, phases of matter

Describe the relationship between force and mass when the acceleration of two objects remain constant
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

If they both remain constant they ain't moving, It states that the rate of change of velocity of an object is directly proportional to the force applied and takes place in the direction of the force. It is summarized by the equation

If the solar system shrank so that the sun were located just one centimeter from Earth, about how far away could you find the ne
DedPeter [7]
E                  S                                                               *

The "E" represents Earth, "S" represent Sun, and the "*" represents the nearest star(which is Proxima Centauri).

The main thing to worry about here is units, so ill label everything out.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = .<span>00001581 light years
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.243 light years

Now this is where it gets fun, we need to put all the light years into centimeters.(theres alot)
In one light year, there are </span>9.461 * 10^17 centimeters.(the * in this case means multiplication) or 946,100,000,000,000,000 centimeters.

To convert we multiply the light years we found by the big number.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters<span>
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.014 * 10^18 centimeters
</span>
Now we scale things down, we treat 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters as a SINGLE centimeter, because that's the distance between the earth and the sun. So all we have to do is divide (4.014 * 10^18 ) by (<span>1.496 * 10^13 ).
Why? because that how proportions work.

As a result, you get a mere 268335.7 centimeters.

To put that into perspective, that's only about 1.7 miles

A lot of my numbers came from google, so they are estimations and are not perfect, but its hard to be on really large scales.</span>
