<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.

Which statement correctly defines power?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Power=V\, I which corresponds to the second option shown: "voltage times amperage"

Explanation:

The electric power is the work done to move a charge Q across a given difference of potential V per unit of time.

Since such electrical work is the product of the potential difference V times the charge that moves through that potential, and this work is to be calculated by the unit of time, we need to divide the product by time (t) which leads to the following final simple equation:

Power=\frac{V\,Q}{t} =V\,\frac{Q}{t} = V\, I

Notice that we replaced the quotient representing charge per unit of time (Q/t) by the actual current running through the circuit.

This corresponds to the second option shown in the question: "Voltage times amperage".

This type of water occurs as a liquid resource that is dispersed through numerous holes, pores, fractures, and cavities in bodie
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Although this may seem surprising, water beneath the ground is commonplace. Usually groundwater travels slowly and silently beneath the surface, but in some locations it bubbles to the surface at springs. The products of erosion and deposition by groundwater were described in the Erosion and Deposition chapter.

Groundwater is the largest reservoir of liquid fresh water on Earth and is found in aquifers, porous rock and sediment with water in between. Water is attracted to the soil particles and capillary action, which describes how water moves through a porous media, moves water from wet soil to dry areas.

Aquifers are found at different depths. Some are just below the surface and some are found much deeper below the land surface. A region may have more than one aquifer beneath it and even most deserts are above aquifers. The source region for an aquifer beneath a desert is likely to be far from where the aquifer is located; for example, it may be in a mountain area.

The amount of water that is available to enter groundwater in a region is influenced by the local climate, the slope of the land, the type of rock found at the surface, the vegetation cover, land use in the area, and water retention, which is the amount of water that remains in the ground. More water goes into the ground where there is a lot of rain, flat land, porous rock, exposed soil, and where water is not already filling the soil and rock.

The residence time of water in a groundwater aquifer can be from minutes to thousands of years. Groundwater is often called “fossil water” because it has remained in the ground for so long, often since the end of the ice ages.

You are explaining to your friends why astronauts feel weightless while orbiting in the space shuttle. They ask you to prove thi
meriva

Answer:

Explanation:

Force of gravity = GMm/r^2 = ma

a being the acceleration due to gravity at some distance r from the center of the Earth.  I'll use 6400 km for the radius of the Earth so r = 6734 km or 6734000 meters

a = GM/r^2

plugging in G = 6.67 x 10^-11

M is the mass of the Earth = 6 x 10^24

and r is from above

a = 8.825 m/s^2  = 0.9g

so 90% the acceleration of gravity on the surface.
