Acceleration (magnitude anyway) = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .
Change in speed = (10 - 30) = -20 m/s
Time for the change = 4.0sec
Magnitude of acceleration = -20/4 = <em>-5 m/s² </em>
I’m am a mother no drama !!!!
Boom
The three phases of matter differ in properties just because of the proximity of their molecules. The solid phase is the most organized of all. Its atoms are compactly arranged together and has the strongest intermolecular forces to keep them together. This is why they have a definite shape and volume. The liquid phase have molecules that are far away from each other, but not as far as that of the gas phase. The liquid and gas phases can be lumped into one group called fluids because they have the same property - they take the shape and volume of their container.
To make an analogy, see the attached picture for your reference.
Conduction: someone burning their hand by placing their hand on a hot stove.
Convection: Food cooking in an oven.
Radiation: The heat we feel from the sun.
