Question Question 3
A diver is able to cut through water in a swimming pool. Which property of matter does this observation show?
The observation that a diver can cut through water in a swimming pool indicates that the particles of liquid matter have spaces between them, and the intermolecular forces of attraction are relatively weak. Consequently, the force exerted by the diver is sufficient to overcome these forces of attraction, allowing the diver to move through the water.
