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.

A bungee jumper starts with 1000 J in their GPE store. After they jump they fall and are brought to a stop with the bungee cord.
pochemuha

Answer:

energy is equal to 1000 J

Explanation:

When the jumper is in the tent, he has a given height, this height gives him a gravitational potential energy, which forms his initial mechanical energy of 1000 J. After jumping, this energy is converted into elastic energy of the rope plus a remainder of potential energy gravitational, it does not reach the ground, but as the friction is negligible the total mechanical energy is conserved, therefore its energy is equal to 1000 J

This is a case of energy transformation, but the total value of mechanical energy does not change

Can something have energy without having momentum? explain. can something have momentum without having energy? defend your answe
marta [7]
Momentum  is a product mass and velocity. If a certain object posses a kinetic energy, then it should have a momentum since it is moving which has a velocity. However, if the object is at rest and only has potential energy, then it would not have momentum. So, for the first question the answer would be yes, an object can have energy without having any momentum. For the second question, every object whether it is moving or at rest, possess some energy, potential for an object at rest and kinetic for an object that is moving. Thus, the answer would be no, an object having momentum would always have energy.
