Answer 1

Both are only physical changes.

Answer 2

## Step 1The problem presents two scenarios: sediment settling to the bottom of a muddy puddle and dust settling out of the air. We are asked to identify the commonality between these two changes.## Step 2The first scenario involves sediment settling to the bottom of a muddy puddle. This is a physical change because the sediment is not chemically reacting with the water. Instead, it is simply being separated from the water due to gravity.## Step 3The second scenario involves dust settling out of the air. This is also a physical change because the dust is not chemically reacting with the air. Instead, it is simply being separated from the air due to gravity.## Step 4By comparing the two scenarios, we can see that both involve particles settling out of a fluid due to gravity. This is a physical change, not a chemical change, because the particles are not chemically reacting with the fluid.## Step 5The options "Both are caused by cooling" and "Both are changes of state" are not correct because neither of the changes described involve cooling or a change of state.
