Question

The dive is able to cut through water in a swimming pool which property of matter does this actively show
A. particle of matter is extremely small
B. particle of matter have space between them
C. the particle of matter is in a stationary state
D. particle of matter attract each other

Answer 1

Hint: There are some points and phenomena that governs the answer to the given problem. First of all we know that the diver can cut through water in a swimming pool. This thing shows that the matter has spaces between them so that the particles can move from one place to another. This too happens in order to accommodate the body of the diver.

Complete step by step answer:
In the given question we just have to keep some concepts like the intra particle attraction and most ideally the concept of displacement in the free space.
The inter particle 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. Therefore it is easy to flow in the water using the strength diver possesses.
A diver will be able to pass through water if there is the 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
Water is a liquid with a molecular arrangement not very compact, not held very tightly hence the intermolecular force is weak,

Hence, the correct answer is option B, the particles of matter have to have space between them.

Note: This shows that the liquid has space between them known as intermolecular space they are a little bit far from one another. Hence the driver can cut water in a swimming pool.
