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.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

3.5\:\mathrm{m/s^2}

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd law is given as \Sigma F = ma.

To find the acceleration in the horizontal direction, you need the horizontal component of the force being applied.

Using trigonometry to find the horizontal component of the force:

\cos 45^{\circ}=\frac{x}{5},\\\frac{\sqrt{2}}{{2}}=\frac{x}{5},\\x=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}

Use this horizontal component of the force to solve for for the acceleration of the object:

\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}=1.0\cdot a,\\a=\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\approx \boxed{3.5\:\mathrm{m/s^2}}

Which of the following are true (choose all that apply)? Sound can travel through a vacuum. -Sound can travel through water. Lig
Lunna [17]

Answer:

option (A) - false

option (B) - true

option (C) - true

option (D) - true

option (E) - true

option (F) - true

Explanation:

The sound waves are mechanical waves that means they need a medium to travel.

The light waves are non mechanical waves it means they do not need a medium to travel.

Sound cannot travel trough vacuum.

Sound can travel through air and water.

Light can travel trough vacuum and in air and in water.

What is an independent variable
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

An independent variable is a variable that is manipulated to determine the value of a dependent variable. The dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment or evaluated in a mathematical equation and the independent variables are the inputs to that measurement.

If it takes 42 minutes to load 3 1/2 trucks, how many minutes will it take to load 6 1/2 trucks?
Kruka [31]
If it takes 42 minutes to load 3 1/2 trucks, then it takes 42 / 3.5 = 12 minutes to load a single truck. Multiplying the number of minutes per truck by 6.5 yields the time it will take to load. In this case 12 x 6.5 = 78 minutes would be required to load 6 1/2 trucks. The formula for the time taken is t = 12n, where t is the time in minutes and n is the number of trucks.
