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 tiger travels 3m/s^2 for 4.1s,what was its initial speed if it's final speed was 55k/h?
zaharov [31]
Acceleration a=3m/s^2
time t= 4.1seconds
Final velocity V= 55km/h
initial velocity U= ?
First convert V to m/s
36km/h=10m/s
55km/h= 55*10/36=15.28m/s
Using the formula V= U+at
U= V-at
U= 15.28-3*4.1=15.28-12.3=2.98m/s
Initial velocity U= 2.98m/s or 10.73km/h (Using the conversion rate 36km/h=10m/s)

A 60-kg rollerblader rolls 10 m down a 30? incline. When she reaches the level floor at the bottom, she applies the brakes. The
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

s = 20 m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the roller blader = 60 Kg

length = 10 m

inclines at = 30°

coefficient of friction = 0.25

using conservation of energy

\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2 = m g d sin \theta

u^2 = 2 g d sin30^0

u= \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 10 sin30^0}

u = 9.89 m/s

Using second law of motion  

ma =μ mg

a = μ g

a = 0.25 x 9.8

a = 2.45 m/s²

Using third equation of motion ,  

v² - u² = 2 a s

0² - 9.89² = 2 x 2.45 x s

s = 20 m

the distance moved before stopping is 20 m

A force of 600 N is acting on a motorcycle that has a mass of 240 kg. What is the acceleration of the motorcycle?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

2.5m/s2

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

F = 600N

M = 240 kg

a =?

Recall: F = Ma

a = F/M

a = 600/240

a = 2.5m/s2

Therefore, the acceleration of the motorcycle is 2.5m/s2

A ball is dropped from the top of a 77 m building. With what speed does the ball hit the ground? _________ m/s
vitfil [10]

Answer:

38.87 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the ball is dropped from a height = 77 m

u = 0 m/s

s = 77 m

a = g = 9.81 m/s²

Applying the expression as:

v^2-u^2=2as

Applying values as:

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 77+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=38.87\ m/s

<u>The speed with which the ball hit the ground = 38.87 m/s</u>
