A diver is able to cut through water in a swimming pool. Which property of matter does this observation show?


Answer :

A diver is able to cut through water in a swimming pool because of the ability of the water to flow. As the force of attraction between water particles is weak as compared to the solid particles which makes solid rigid and compact and also the intermolecular space between water particles is more than solid particles which helps water particles to widen up when an external force is applied. In this case, the external force is created by the diver when he/she cuts through the water to move forward.
