When water freezes, it expands. what does this say about the density of ice compared with the density of water?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>When water freezes to form ice, its volume expands. However, we know from conservation of mass that the mass of the ice is the same as the mass of the water. Since density is defined fundamentally as mass / volume, and we have an expanding volume at a constant mass, the denominator of the equation grows, and thus the density of ice is lower than that of liquid water.</span>

Yanka [14]

Answer:

a. A = 0.1656 m

b. % E = 1.219

Explanation:

Given

mB = 4.0 kg , mb = 50.0 g = 0.05 kg , u₁ = 150 m/s , k = 500 N / m

To find the amplitude of the resulting SHM using conserver energy

ΔKe + ΔUg + ΔUs = 0

¹/₂ * m * v² - ¹/₂ * k * A² = 0

A = √ mB * vₓ² / k

vₓ = mb * u₁ / mb + mB

vₓ = 0.05 kg * 150 m / s / [0.050 + 4.0 ] kg = 1.8518

A = √ 4.0 kg * (1.852 m/s)² / (500 N / m)

A = 0.1656 m

The percentage of kinetic energy

%E = Es / Ek

Es = ¹/₂ * k * A² = 500 N / m * 0.1656²m = 13.72 N*0.5

Ek = ¹/₂ * mb * v² = 0.05 kg * 150² m/s = 1125 N

% E = 13.72 / 1125 = 0.01219 *100

% E = 1.219

A professor drives off with his car (mass 870 kg), but forgot to take his coffee mug (mass 0.47 kg) off the roof. The coefficien

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: $6.86 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

mas of car=870 kg

coffee mug mass=0.47 kg

coefficient of static friction between mug and roof $\mu _s= 0.7$

Coefficient of kinetic Friction $\mu _k=0.5$

maximum car acceleration is $\mu \times g$

here coefficient of static friction comes in to action because mug is placed over car . If mug is moving relative to car then \mu _k is come into effect

$a_{max}=0.7\times 9.8=6.86 m/s^2$

A car is traveling at 75 m/s. 50 seconds later it is traveling at 25 m/s. What is the car’s acceleration?

scoray [572]

Answer:

a = -1 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vi = 75 m/s

Vf = 25 m/s

t = 50 s

Plug those values into the following equation:

Vf = Vi + at

25 = 75 + 50a

---> a = -1 m/s^2

A 50-kg block is at rest on a 15o slope. A force of 250 N is acting on the block up the slope parallel to it. If the block does

Iteru [2.4K]

The minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the block and the slope is 0.53.

<h3>Minimum coefficient of static friction</h3>

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F - μFs = 0

μFs = F

where;

μ is coefficient of static friction
Fs is frictional force
F is applied force

μ = F/Fs

μ = F/(mgcosθ)

μ = (250)/(50 x 9.8 x cos15)

μ = 0.53

Thus, the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the block and the slope is 0.53.
