Question

1. many technologies use enclosed fluids. for example, a hydraulic press at an auto repair shop uses trapped water to lift heavy cars. hot - air balloons heat trapped air to lift a basketful of people. look at the two diagrams that model fluid particles. which statement best identifies which of these models represents a gas? diagram b is a gas, because its particles move more slowly and are farther apart diagram a is a gas, because its particles move more slowly and are closer together diagram b is a gas, because its particles move more quickly and are farther apart. diagram a is a gas, because its particles move more quickly and are closer together.

Explanation:

In a gas, particles have high kinetic - energy, move quickly, and are far apart from each other compared to liquids and solids. Diagram B shows particles that are more spread out and likely moving more quickly.

Answer:

Diagram B is a gas, because its particles move more quickly and are farther apart.
