Use the kinetic theory to explain why a gas completely fills its container while a liquid or solid may not?

particles in a solid vibrates amongst fixed positions particles in a liquid slips past each other because of their close proxmitiy and takes up the shape of a container particles in a gas moves freely


A warning on an aerosol can states Caution container may explode if heated explain Using the particle theory of matter why such a warning is necessary?

Heat causes particles to move faster, and the faster a praticle moves, the more energetic are its collisions, thereby exerting more pressure on the walls of any container that the particles are in, and enough pressure gives an explosion. This warning is necessary on aerosol cans because garbage is often thrown into incinerators, and that is not safe in the case of aerosol cans which will explode.

How do you collect a urine sample?

Urine is typically collected in a cup, for ambulatory patients, or with a catheter or indwelling cath for in-patients. The urine is sent to the lab and a tox screen is performed. Note that, in cases of drug testing, collection of the urine is at times officially witnessed in order to prevent substitution.

Explain how the displacement of an object could be zero while the distance traveled was 150 miles?

Displacement is only the distance from the starting point. As long as you return to where you started, then you can travel 1.0 x 10^999999999999 miles and still have a displacement of zero.

How is displacement explain in physics?

Displacement is basically the total space between point A and point B. Commonly mistaken, displacement is different than distance. For example, if somebody walked 5 meters to the right, then 4 meters to the left, their displacement would be 1 meter, and their distance walked would be 9 meters.
