What happens when water freezes

1 answer:

3 0

The answers would be:
A. It becomes less dense
C. It expands
If you ever noticed, ice tends to float on water.Due to Hydrogen bonding, fluid is able to be displaced when water is converted into ice which causes it to be able to float after the expansion of water. <span />

Do all types of waves need a medium to travel through

A wave pulse travels along a string at a speed of 230 cm/s . Note that parts a - d are independent and refer to changes made to

Oksanka [162]

a) The speed of the wave will increase by a factor $\sqrt{2}$ .

b) The speed of the wave will halve

c) The speed of the wave will double

Explanation:

The speed of a standing wave on a string is given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}$

where

T is the tension in the string

m is the mass of the string

L is the length of the string

In this part of the problem, the tension in the string is doubled, so that the new tension is

T' = 2T

Substituting into the equation, we find the new speed of the wave in the string:

$v'=\sqrt{\frac{T'}{m/L}}=\sqrt{\frac{2T}{m/L}}=\sqrt{2}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}=\sqrt{2}v$

So, the speed will increase by a factor $\sqrt{2}$ .

We can solve also this part by referring to the formula

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}$

where

T is the tension

m is the mass

L is the length

In this case, the string mass is quadrupled, so the new mass is:

m' = 4m

Substituting into the equation, we find what happens to the speed of the wave:

$v'=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m'/L}}=\sqrt{\frac{T}{4m/L}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}=\frac{1}{2}v$

So, the speed of the wave will halve.

Again, we can solve this part by referring to the same equation

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}$

where

T is the tension

m is the mass

L is the length

In this case, the length of the string is quadrupled, so the new length is:

L' = 4L

Substituting into the equation, we find that the new speed is:

$v'=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L'}}=\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/(4L)}}=\sqrt{4}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}=2v$

So, the speed of the wave will double.

A stone is thrown with an initial speed of 11.5 m/s at an angle of 50.0 above the horizontal from the top of a 30.0-m-tall build

rewona [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of the horizontal displacement of the rock is 7.39 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed = 11.5 m/s

Angle = 50.0

Height = 30.0 m

We need to calculate the horizontal displacement of the rock

Using formula of horizontal component

$v_{x}=u\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{x}=11.5\times\cos50$

$v_{x}=7.39\ m/s$

Hence, The magnitude of the horizontal displacement of the rock is 7.39 m/s.

A football is kicked into the air with a velocity of 32m/s at an angle of 25º. At the very top of the ball’s path, its vertical

Travka [436]

At the "very top" of the ball's path, there's a tiny instant when the ball
is changing from "going up" to "going down". At that exact tiny instant,
its vertical speed is zero.

You can't go from "rising" to "falling" without passing through "zero vertical
speed", at least for an instant. It makes sense, and it feels right, but that's
not good enough in real Math. There's a big, serious, important formal law
in Calculus that says it. I think Newton may have been the one to prove it,
and it's named for him.

By the way ... it doesn't matter what the football's launch angle was,
or how hard it was kicked, or what its speed was off the punter's toe,
or how high it went, or what color it is, or who it belongs to, or even
whether it's full to the correct regulation air pressure. Its vertical speed
is still zero at the very top of its path, as it's turning around and starting
to fall.
