Answer:
C)It would require more energy to change solid water into liquid water because there are more molecules in this larger piece of ice.
As the box is moving with a constant velocity, the two forces acting on the box are canceling each other.
Then friction force = 80 Newtons but in the opposite direction.
Friction force = Mu * Normal force exerted by ground = Mu * weight of box
So we find Mu.
Mu = coefficient of friction between box and horizontal surface
= Force of friction / weight = 80 / 50 * 9.81 = 0.163
When an identical box is placed on top, the force of friction is
= Mu * total weight = 0.163 * (50+50) * 9.81 = 159.9 Newtons
Answer: The property that will best provide evidence that the samples are solid includes:
--> if the substance has a definite shape,
-->if the substance has a definite volume
--> if it's tightly packed.
Explanation:
According to the kinetic theory of matter, every substance consist of very large number of very small particles called molecules. These molecules, which are made up of atoms that are the smallest particles of a substance that can exist in a free state.
Matter can exist in the following states:
--> Solid state
--> liquid state or
--> Gaseous state.
The general property of a substance that is in gaseous state includes:
--> Definite shape: A substance can be grouped as a solid if it's shape is fixed that is, it doesn't depend on the shape of other materials.
--> Definite volume: A substance can be grouped as a solid if it occupies its own shape. This is due to the force of cohesion among its molecules.
--> Tightly packed: A substance can be grouped as solid if the molecular movements of the particles are negligible.
From the samples under observation by Juan and kym, if the sample that possesses the above described qualities, it is a solid rather than liquid or gas.
