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

Which one of Newton’s Laws explains the motion of an object that is traveling with uniform circular motion?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A uniform circular motion is an example of accelerated motion.

When an object is moving in a uniform circular motion, there is a centripetal force acting towards the centre of the circular path and then a centrifugal force is also acting away from the centre of the circular path. The magnitude of the centripetal force and the centrifugal force is same but the direction is opposite to each other. So, it is explained by the Newton's third law.

The bell rings and a physics student heads to class. They stop to talk to a few friends. They slow
grin007 [14]

Answer:

420m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 5minutes

Average speed  = 1.4m/s

Unknown:

Distance covered  = ?

Solution:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.

 Mathematically;

              Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}  

    Distance  = speed x time

 

Insert the parameters and solve;

   Convert the time to seconds;

              1 minute = 60s

               5 minute = 5  x 60 = 300s

So,

   Insert the parameters and find the distance;

     Distance  = 300 x 1.4  = 420m
