Explanation:
Matter is changed from one state to another by addition or removal of heat and suitable pressure conditions.
When a solid is heated, it normally melts and changes to liquids which on heating changes to vapor. The randomness of the particles increases from solid to liquid state and to gaseous states.
Also, a gas can be cooled to liquid and on further cooling transformed into a solid matter.
These phase changes are brought about by energy changes in a system. Some form of matter can also sublime by changing form solid to gas and vice versa.
Answer:
the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J
Explanation:
Given;
distance the boy slides, d = 3 m
angle of inclination of the playground, θ = 40⁰
mass of the boy, m = 32 kg
The vertical height, h, above the ground through which the boy falls represents the height of the triangle which is the opposite side.
The distance through which the boy slides, d, represents the hypotenuse side of the right triangle.

The work done by gravity on the boy is calculated as;
W = P.E = mgh
= 32kg x 9.8m/s² x 1.928m
= 604.62 J
Therefore, the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J
Answer:
speed and time are Vf = 4.43 m/s and t = 0.45 s
Explanation:
This is a problem of free fall, we have the equations of kinematics
Vf² = Vo² + 2g x
As the object is released the initial velocity is zero, let's look at the final velocity with the equation
Vf = √( 2 g X)
Vf = √(2 9.8 1)
Vf = 4.43 m/s
This is the speed with which it reaches the ground
Having the final speed we can find the time
Vf = Vo + g t
t = Vf / g
t = 4.43 / 9.8
t = 0.45 s
This is the time of fall of the body to touch the ground
They will occupy less volume which will cause an increased density of the particles.
