Answer:
A ball is thrown straight up with a speed of 30
m/s. What is the maximum height reached by
the ball?
Answer:
In the air
Explanation:
There are three states of matter:
- Solids: in solids, the particles are tightly bond together by strong intermolecular forces, so they cannot move freely - they can only vibrate around their fixed position
- Liquids: in liquids, particles are more free to move, however there are still some intermolecular forces keeping them close to each other
- Gases: in gases, particles are completely free to move, as the intermolecular forces between them are negligible
For this reason, it is generally easier to compress/expand the volume of a gas with respect to the volume of a liquid.
In this problem, we are comparing water (which is a liquid) with air (which is a gas). From what we said above, this means that the change in volume is larger in the air rather than in the water.
It depends most on the temperature of the gas.
I think that the answer is A
