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

Water flows over the edge of a waterfall at a rate of 1.2 x 10^6 kg/s. There are 50.0 m between the top and bottom of the waterf
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

5.88×10⁸ W

Explanation:

Power = change in energy / time

P = mgh / t

P = (m/t) gh

P = (1.2×10⁶ kg/s) (9.8 m/s²) (50.0 m)

P = 5.88×10⁸ W

After a match has burned which of these is not proof that a chemical reaction occurred?
mixas84 [53]
In my estimation I would say C, I was leaning towards A, but I believe that would merely be "incomplete combustion." I hope this was semi-helpful!

Two parallel plates are 1 cm apart and are connected to a 500 V source. What force will be exerted on a single electron half way
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: 8*10^-15 N

Explanation: In order to calculate the force applied on an electron in the middle of the two planes at 500 V we know that,  F=q*E

The electric field between  the plates is given by:

E = ΔV/d = 500 V/0.01 m=5*10^3 N/C

the force applied to the electron is: F=e*E=8*10^-15 N
