If water didnt expand when it froze then it would be more dense so ice would sink. If ice sunk then it would cause a lot of ocean life to die because of the cold and water levels to rise more.

Yes I agree.

The very basic fundamental to remember here is that the ice when expands causes the floating of itself on top of water. Thus, if ice stops expanding, it will not float on the top of water body and thus would sink and may cause the freezing additional water in the water bodies. This could happen in the Antarctic , Arctic and all cold regions. Rivers may stop flowing in cold regions as they all will be frozen and also the survival of species will become difficult

a car with a mass of 1200 kilograms is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 20 m/s the centripetal force on t
jek_recluse [69]
Coupla things wrong with this question, Sam.
Let's clean those up first, and then we'll work on the answer.

-- The car is NOT moving with uniform velocity.
'Velocity' includes both speed and direction.  If either of these
changes, it's a change of velocity.
On a circular track, the car's direction is CONSTANTLY changing,
so its velocity is too. 
The thing that's uniform is its speed, not its velocity.

-- A 'neutron' is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of most
atoms.  It's not a unit of force.  The unit of force is the 'Newton'.

OK. A centripetal force of 6,000 newtons keeps 1,200 kg of mass
moving in a circle at 20 m/s.

The formula:

                                     Centripetal force = (mass) (speed)² / (radius)

Multiply each side
by 'radius':                (centripetal force) x (radius) = (mass) x (speed)²

Divide each side by
'centripetal force':       Radius = (mass) x (speed)² / (centripetal force)

Write in the numbers
that we know:              Radius = (1200 kg) (20 m/s)² / (6000 Newtons)

                                                 = (1200 kg) (400 m²/s²) / (6000 Newtons)

                                                 = (480,000 kg-m²/s²) / (6000 kg-m/s²)

                                                 = (480,000 / 6000) meters
                                                
                                                 =         80 meters .

Determine the kinetic energy of a 1000-kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 20.0 m/s.
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is 200.000 Joule (200KJoule)

Explanation:

We use the formula of kinetic energy:

Ec =1/2 x  m x v^2

Ec=1/2 x 1000kg x (20m/s)^2 = 200.000Joule

200.000J/1000KJ/J=200 kJoule

What is a curved line in velocity time graph represent?<br>​
Olegator [25]
A curved line shows the slope is constantly changing. Think about it - an upward curve shows the slope is pretty flat at first but it gets very steep as time increases.

So what is the slope of a Vt graph represent? Well, slope is rise over run, aka delta V over delta t. That’s just the formula for acceleration.

We know the slope is changing, and the slope is acceleration, therefore we can say that the acceleration is changing.

It turns out that if you graph this changing acceleration with time, the acceleration changes at a constant rate - it’s linear, NOT a curve. (If you have specific values you could plot this, but if you’re just talking about general graphs, then just take my word for it).

In summary - if you’re velocity is changing at a non constant rate, then you’re acceleration must be changing (at a constant rate).

Hope this helped!

How does the matter and (solar) energy move through the sphere?
Tema [17]
When the Sun's energy moves through space, it reaches Earth's atmosphere and finally the surface. This radiant solar energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This heat energy is transferred throughout the planet's systems in three ways: by radiation, conduction, and convection.
