Answer:
Matter is anything that has mass
Explanation:
The word "matter" refers to anything that has mass, either organic or inorganic. Matter is made up of atoms, which consists of a nucleus (made up of protons, positively charged, and neutrons, electrically neutron) and electrons which revolve around the nucleus.
The number of protons in the atom determine the element: there are more than 100 different elements in nature, with different properties depending on the number of electrons they have.
Matter can be in three different states also:
- solid: the atoms are tightly bond to each other, so they cannot move
- liquids: atoms are not bond to each other, so they can slide past each other, but still they have some intermolecular forces that keep them close to each other
- gas: atoms are free to move, as there are no forces that keep them close to each other

A wave looses its power as it comes to shore because it gets less deeper every second it gets closer to shore
Answer: gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy
Explanation:
When the diver stands on the platform, at 20 m above the surface of the water, he has some gravitational potential energy, which is given by
where m is the man's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the water. As he jumps, the gravitational potential energy starts decreasing, because its height h above the water decreases, and he acquires kinetic energy, which is given by
where v is the speed of the diver, which is increasing. When he touches the water, all the initial gravitational potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.
Answer: a. 53cm b. Diverging c. 0.02dioptres
Explanation:
Since the person in question cannot see far object clearly, it shows that the individual is suffering from myopia (short sightedness).
If the object distance (u) is 53cm. for the person to be able to see far way, it means the image must be at infinity. This shows image distance v is infinity. Using the lens formula
1/f = 1/u+1/v
1/f = 1/53 + 1/Infinity
1/f = 1/53 + 0
f=53cm
b) The lens used is concave lens (diverging lens) to diverge all rays outwards
c) Power of a lens P will be 1/53.
P = 0.02dioptres
