Answer: The ice cube would float on top of the water and the rock would sink to the bottom.
Explanation: The ice cube has a smaller density than the rock which allows the ice cube to float but makes the rock sink to the bottom of the glass of water.
Static electricity works when there is an imbalance of positive and negative charges, and thus causes a little spark.
Answer:
It may seem as though burning destroys matter, but the same amount, or mass, of matter still exists after a campfire as before. Look at Figure 3.7.1 below. It shows that when wood burns, it combines with oxygen and changes not only to ashes, but also to carbon dioxide and water vapor. The gases float off into the air, leaving behind just the ashes. Suppose you had measured the mass of the wood before it burned and the mass of the ashes after it burned. Also suppose you had been able to measure the oxygen used by the fire and the gases produced by the fire. What would you find? The total mass of matter after the fire would be the same as the total mass of matter before the fire.
