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

1 answer:

4 0

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.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. A force can be simply defined as a push or a pull.

Sidana [21]

This B: False, because the definition is lacking.

Force is when two objects interact with one another causing it to either move or not move. In our daily lives there are a lot of times force is exerted upon us, rather force is everywhere and here are the evidences:

*Pushing a cart
*Pushing a wall
*Hitting a baseball bat
*Apple falling down from a tree.
*Balls hitting one another
*A swinging pendulum
*Throwing a paper with stone above it
*Breaking of glass in the floor
*Falling of leaves on the grass

Wittaler [7]

The magnitude of the rock is equal to g. After the rock is released, there are no more forces acting on it, yet gravity remains. The initial inputs, on a bridge, at an angle of 30 deg below horizontal do not matter after the release.
