Answer:

in motion.

Explanation:

In chemistry, we often explain the states of matter in terms of the kinetic molecular theory (KMT). The word kinetic refers to motion and the kinetic molecular theory suggests that atoms and molecules are always in motion. The energy associated with this motion is termed kinetic energy.

Point out the following about solids: The particles (atoms or molecules) are attracted to each other. The particles (atoms or molecules) vibrate but do not move past one another. The solid retains its shape.

They are not always in motion. They are always in motion if and only if the temperature of the surroundings is greater than absolute zero ( 0 K ).

Not only are molecules really small but they are in constant motion. The motion is called “thermal motion” because it's caused by temperature. Increase the temperature around them and the molecules move faster.

I think atoms and molecules in matter are always in motion because of kinetic energy.

A car is on a circular off ramp of an interstate and is traveling at exactly 25 mph around the curve. Does the car have velocity
netineya [11]

Answer:

The car has velocity and acceleration but is not decelerating

Explanation:

Since the car is traveling at 25 mph around the curve, it has a tangential velocity. This tangential velocity is constantly changing in direction (so the car could adapt to the curve and not moving forward in a straight line), there should be a centripetal acceleration in play here. This acceleration does not slow down the car so it's not decelerating.

An observer sitting at a bus stop sees the bus drive by at 30 m/s to the east. He also sees a
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

32 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a bus is 30 m/s due East wrt the passenger

He also sees a  passenger on the bus walking to the back at 2 m/s.

We need to find the passenger's velocity relative  to the bus. As the observer sees that the bus and the passenger are moving in opposite direction. Let v is the relative velocity. So,

v = 30 m/s + 2 m/s

v = 32 m/s

Hence, the passenger's velocity relative  to the bus is 32 m/s.
