Any matter that is a solid<span> has a </span>definite shape<span> and a </span>definite<span> volume. The molecules in a </span>solid<span> are in fixed positions and are close together. Although the molecules can still vibrate, they cannot move from one part of the </span>solid<span> to another part. As a result, a </span>solid does<span> not easily change its </span>shape<span> or its volume</span>

I hope this helps ^-^

What minimum volume must the slab have for a 75.0 kgkg woman to be able to stand on it without getting her feet wet
Alisiya [41]

V = 0.9375 m3 is minimum volume .

<h3>What is density ?</h3>
  • We use the word "density" to indicate how much space (or "volume") an object or substance occupies in relation to the amount of matter contained therein (its mass).
  • Density can also be defined as the quantity of mass per unit of volume. A dense object is one that is both hefty and small.

Given,

            1000 kg/m3 = density of water

             920 kg/m3 = density of ice

BF = Woman Weight + Slab Weight

Pvg = 75 + Pvg

V = 75 kg / (1000 - 920)

V = 75 / 80

V = 0.9375 m3

Therefore, V = 0.9375 m3 is minimum volume .

WheN a car is driven some distance the air pressure in the tyre increases,why?
KatRina [158]
Over the course of a long drive, as a result of alternating between braking and acceleration and of course steering, tires get heated up. When this happens, the air within the tires gets heated up, causing the air within the tire to expand. This expanding air exerts force on the tire from inside thus increasing tire pressure.

You are out running and the first mile takes you 10 minutes. The second mile takes you 20 minutes. This is an example of
cupoosta [38]

If Equal distance is traveled in equal interval of time then it is known as uniform motion in which velocity of object will remain same.

Then if distance covered will be same and the time taken to cover same distance is decreasing then it shows that speed is increasing with time due to which it took less time to cover same distance. This is also known as positive acceleration.

Now if the distance covered will be same and time taken to cover same distance is increasing then it shows that speed is decreasing with time due to which it took more time to cover the same distance. This is also known as negative acceleration.

Now in the above case it is given that the first mile takes you 10 minutes. The second mile takes you 20 minutes. So the time taken is increasing while we cover same distance so this is an example of <u>Negative Acceleration</u>
