The ice cubes were floating in water because they are less dense than liquid water. When water is frozen, a structure that is crystalline is formed that is held by hydrogen bonding. Due to the orientation of these bonds, the moleules would push far away from each other causing it to have a bigger volume and a lower density.

An ultrasound unit is being used to measure a patient's heartbeat by combining the emitted 2.0 MHz signal with the sound waves r
alexandr402 [8]
Hi there, 
for this question we have:
Signal 2.0 MHz = Emitted so we can call it f_e
and we need the Reflected = f_{r}
In this question, we have a source which goes to the heart and a reflected which comes back from the heart and we need the speed of the reflected.
So you should know that the speed of reflected is lower than the source(Emitted). 
we also know: ΔBeat frequency(max) = 560 Hz = f_{b}
so we have: 
f_{e} - f_{r} = f_{b}
so frequency of Reflected is: 
2.0 × 10^6 Hz - 560 Hz = 1.99 × 10^6 Hz = f_{r}
now you know that Lambda = v/f 
so if we find the lambda with our Emitted then we can find v with the Reflected: 
Lambda = 1540(m/s) / 2.0 × 10^6 Hz = 7.7 × 10^-4 m 
=> v_{max} = (lambda)(f_{r} 
=> 7.7 × 10^-4m (1.99 × 10^6Hz) = 1532 m/s 
so the v_{max} is equal to 1532 m/s :)))
This question is solved by two top teachers as fast as they could :))
I hope this is helpful
have a nice day

Calculate the mass of an ice block of volume 12m³. the density of the ice is 920kg/m³.​
beks73 [17]

Mass = density • volume

so (12)(920)(kg/m^3•m^3)

11040 kg
