Question

A diver is able to cut through water in a swimming pool. Which

property of matter does this observation show?​

Answer 1

Answer:

If a diver is able to cut through water, it means the force of attraction between molecules is less. This is because liquids have fluidity and moderate force of attraction between molecules.

Answer 2

Given that a diver is able to cut through water in a swimming pool. This happens due to the special properties of water. As water is in the liquid state it posses few characteristics.

Property of matter observed

A diver is able to cut through water in a swimming pool. The property observed in this phenomena are listed below

• This shows that the particles of matter have spaces between them.
• The interparticle forces of attraction between liquid particles are not very strong hence the force applied by the diver is enough to overcome these forces of attraction.
• A diver will be able to pass through water if there is availability of space between the particles and the forces of attraction between the liquid particles are not very strong.
• The diver will not be able to cut through solid ice because of fewer spaces between the solid particles and strong forces of attraction.
