Answer: D. solids and liquids only

Explanation:

Solids have definite volume because they have almost no inter-molecular space between its molecule, they are closely packed and rigid in their structure and hence they also have a definite shape.

In case of liquids we have a little inter-molecular space which makes the liquid-bulk flexible enough to attain any shape but this inter molecular space is not sufficient enough to make them compressible making them negligibly compressible. Therefore liquids are also  considered to have a difinite volume.

But in the case of gases there is very large inter molecular space and the molecules make a random motion due to very weak force of attraction between them and the space between the molecules is compressible on the application of force. So, they don't have a definite shape and definite volume.

Why does air pressure decrease with increasing altitude?
Grace [21]

Answer:
The weight of the air above is smaller

Explanation:

As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases. The air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level. This is what people mean by “thin air”. Thin air exerts less pressure than air at a lower altitude.

An air-track glider undergoes a perfectly inelastic collision with an identical glider that is initially at rest. what fraction
Allisa [31]

In this collision, 1/2 of the initial kinetic energy of the first glider is converted into thermal energy.

<h3>In plain English, what is kinetic energy?</h3>

An object's strength as a result ofstrength an object has as a result or motion is known as kinetic energy. Toorder to accelerate an object, a force must be applied. Applying force requires effort on our part. When the work is done, power is transported to the thing, which causes it to move at the athe new, constant pace.

<h3>What does kinetic energy mean, or what are some instances?</h3>

The motion energy is known as kinetic energy, and it is manifested when a particle, object, or group if particles moves. Any moving object uses kinetic energy, including people walking, baseballs being thrown, food falling from tables, and charged particles in electric fields.
