Answer:

Because of it being able to become a gas, a liquid, and solid, and because its used in lots of chemical experiments. (also because its easier to describe it than any other liquid)

Explanation:

1. Water is used in most Chemicals, therefore its being used as a reference material.

2. W

A physics student looks into a microscope and observes that small particles suspended in water are moving about in an irregular

Dominik [7]

Answer:

d. the actual motion is regular, but the speeds of particles are too large to observe the regular motion

Explanation:

The speeds of the particles are very large and comparatively the average free path is very small . Therefore time taken in covering the free path ( path between two consecutive collision with medium particles ) is very small . Hence the st line path covered by particles between two collision is less likely to be visible. Hence motion appears irregular or zig-zag.

$a=-0.33\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Accelerated Motion

The acceleration of a moving body is defined as the relation of change of speed (or velocity in vector form) with the time taken. The formula is given by

$\displaystyle a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}$
