How do solids, liquids, and gases differ?

1 answer:

3 0

Solids, liquids and gases :
In solids the particles like molecules of the substance - are very close to each other. They cannot move far from their positions. In liquids they are separated by some more distance. SO molecules are freely moving inside liquid. But in gases the molecules are free to move with in the volume.
Gaseous molecules have higher speeds.

Solids have good conductivity of electricity. Some liquids are also conductive. gases may be less conductive.

Gases have no shape of their own. Liquids do not have a shape too. Solids can have some shape and retain their shape.

Gases and Liquids flow. Solids do not flow.

Many gases may be invisible or may be faint in color. Visibility of liquids and solids is high.

Gases may not taste. they may smell. Solids and liquids may taste and may or may not smell.

Solids may be transparent to light or may be opaque. Gases may be highly transparent to light.

Sound travels in solids faster than in gases.

Answer:

He's 3 miles west of school.

Explanation:

He went 5 miles up and 5 miles down which means that he really didn't go up or down. In between that, he went 3 miles west so if the 5 milers don't count, this puts him at 3 miles west of school.

A motorist enters a freeway at 45 km/h and accelerates uniformly to 99 km/h. From the odometer in the car, the motorist knows th

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

a) 19440 km/h²

b) 10 sec

Explanation:

v₀ = initial velocity of the car = 45 km/h

v = final velocity achieved by the car = 99 km/h

d = distance traveled by the car while accelerating = 0.2 km

a = acceleration of the car

Using the kinematics equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a d

99² = 45² + 2 a (0.2)

a = 19440 km/h²

t = time required to reach the final velocity

Using the kinematics equation

v = v₀ + a t

99 = 45 + (19440) t

t = 0.00278 h

t = 0.00278 x 3600 sec

t = 10 sec

A 24 cm radius aluminum ball is immersed in water. Calculate the thrust you suffer and the force. Knowing that the density of al

Illusion [34]

Answer:

W =1562.53 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of the aluminium ball, r = 24 cm = 0.24 m

The density of Aluminium, $d=2698.4\ kg/m^3$

We need to find the thrust and the force. The mass of the liquid displaced is given by :

$m=dV$

V is volume

Weight of the displaced liquid

W = mg

$W=dVg$

So,

$W=dg\times \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\W=2698.4\times 10\times \dfrac{4}{3}\times \pi \times (0.24)^3\\\\W=1562.53\ N$

So, the thrust and the force is 1562.53 N.

$32 = 0 \times t + \frac{1}{2} \times 2.5 \times t^{2} \\ 32 = 0 + 1.25 \times t {}^{2} \\ 32 = 1.25t {}^{2} \\ \frac{32}{1.25} = \frac{1.25t {}^{2} }{1.25} \\ t {}^{2} = 25.6 \\ \sqrt{t {}^{2} } = \sqrt{25.6} \\ t = 5.1seconds \\$
