Does radiation travel through solids liquids or gases?
Gases, then liquids, then solids.Good luck : )
What is the difference between solids liquids and gases in terms of kinetic energy?
Solids have the lowers and gases the highest kinetic energy. Liquids are in the middle.
Why do solids hold their shape but liquids of and gases of the same element do not?
the particles in solids are closer together than in liquids and gases allowing it to keep its shape
Sound travels slower through gases than through liquids and solids because the molecules in gases are?
sound travels slower through gases as compared to solids and liquids because there is more inter-moleculer space in gas as compared to solids and liquids.
In what way are liquids and gases alike?
Liquids and Gases are both matter, and are not solids.
Why does sound travel differently in solids liquids and gasses?
Gases, liquids and solid all have different consistencies (densities). So the sound is changed
All solids liquids and gases are?
some solids,liquids and gases are dangers some are not dangers
What item has a fixed volume solids liquids or gases?
solids and liquids
What makes up solids liquids and gases?
Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases
How does the kinetic of solids liquids and gases compare?
The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.
How does solids liquids and gases benefit us?
All I know is that we drink liquids, breath gases, but how does solids help?
How does the kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?
Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex
Gases can be squashed compressedbut solids cannot?
Flow. Gases and liquids can both modify their shapes.
What is the rank of solids liquids and gases in order of particle speed from the highest speed to the lowest speed?
I think it would be Gas Liquid Solid
What are not like gases?
Solids and liquids are not like gases.
What waves travel through solids liquids and gases?
Seismic waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
Does radiation travel through solids liquids or gases?
