A “real” image occurs when light rays actually intersect at the image, and become inverted, or turned upside down. ... In flat, or plane mirrors, the image is a virtual image, and is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. The image is also the same size as the object.
- Gravitational force depends only on mass and distance, not on the state of matter.
- The forces of attraction between molecules in matter are electromagnetic in nature, not gravitational.
- These attractive forces are stronger in a solid than in a liquid than in a gas.
- Gravitational forces between molecules is completely negligible compared to the em forces.
So, key answer is inter-molecular forces of solids is stronger than liquids.
An example of a balanced force is two cards leaning against each other and not falling over, or two football players blocking each other but neither overpowering the other. An example of an unbalanced force is two cards leaning on each other then falling over, or two football players blocking each other, then one tackles the other.
A surface wave is a wave in which particles of the medium undergo a circular motion.
