What determines the state of matter for any substance

Physics

Andrews [41]2 years ago
7 0

Amount of molecules present in the substance

Explanation:

In general state of matter is classified into three types based on the amount of molecules present in the matter. They are widely classified as

  • SOLID
  • LIQUID
  • GAS

SOLID

In solid the molecules are tightly packed without any free space to move inside. Therefore Solids  have strong Inter-Molecular Force of attraction and have definite shape and volume.  

LIQUID      

In Liquid the molecules are  not tightly packed. So that molecules move  freely   inside the matter. Therefore Liquids  have Weaker Inter-Molecular Force of attraction and have no definite shape and  no definite volume.

GAS

In Gas the molecules are loosely packed with  more  free space to move inside. Therefore Gas  have the weakest Inter-Molecular Force of attraction and don't have definite shape and  definite volume.

A stone was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 96 ft/s. What is the height of the cliff? (Use 32 ft/s2 for t
nadezda [96]
The initial velocity of the stone is 0 ft/s. Given the initial velocity (Vi), final velocity (Vf), and acceleration due to gravity (g), the distance may be calculated through the equation,
                                     d = ((Vf)² - (Vi)²) / 2g
Substituting the known values,
                                     d = ((96 ft/s)² - 0))/ (2x32.2)
The value of d is 143.10 ft.

Think about the way optical fibers are designed. why are the ends of the fibers glowing very brightly while the sides of the fib
Effectus [21]

Answer:

D. because the light is reflected back into the fiber along its sides

Explanation:

The fiber is constructed in a way that the light is bent/reflected/refracted toward the center core of glass. So, from the center core, there is a layer above it that has a different propagation than the core, and above that the same thing. To give you a real world visual example, if you look down in a pool of water, then stick a straight stick into it, you see that the straight stick appears to bend. That is what is happening to the light as it travels through a different medium (air to water). This same effect is incorporated in the fiber optic cable construction.

I NEED HELP I AM SO CONFUSED, WILL GIVE BRAIN.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

210

Explanation:

A ball rolls horizontally off the cliff at a speed of 30 m/s. It takes 7 seconds for the ball to hit the ground. What is the height of the cliff and the horizontal distance traveled by the ball?

S = (1/2)*9.8 m/s^2 * 7^2 = 240.1 m if the ball is very dense so air resistance, and therefore terminal velocity, can be ignored.

S = v * t = 30 m/s * 7 s = 210 m for the horizontal distance, again assuming negligible air resistance.

the crust is on top

next is the mantle

and then the core
