The force on the layer will be equivalent to the weight of water on it. This is given by:
F = mg; m is the mass of water and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Answer:
a) the number of particles increases
b) average distance between them should decrease
c) the number of particles decreases, the pressure must also decrease
Explanation:
a) When the girl pumps to increase the pressure inside the tire she introduces more particles. Therefore the number of particles increases
b) as the volume of the tire does not change and there are more particles, the average distance between them should decrease
c) When a hole is opened, some of the particles inside the tire come out, so as the number of particles decreases, the pressure must also decrease
Yeah, it's every state. Atoms need a certain quanta of energy to jump to each state of energy, and therefore change state depending on how much energy is absorbed and/or released. This applies to all states of matter.
