Explain why the 100 grams of ice would have a greater volume than 100 grams of water

Physics

There is no logical reason for it.  Every substance known gets smaller
when it freezes from the liquid form to the solid form, and for every
substance, a lump of it sinks to the bottom in a bottle of it.

Except for one unusual known substance . . . water !
The only known substance that gets <em><u>bigger</u></em> when it freezes.

That's why ice cubes float in your soda, that's why icebergs
float in the ocean, that's why a full bottle of water cracks in
the freezer, and that's why water that seeps into the crack in
a rock can chip pieces off of the rock in the Winter.  

An interesting factoid, to amuse and amaze your friends with.

And also, by the way, if water didn't do that, then life on Earth
would not be possible.

==========================================

The real reason for it has to do with the shape of the water molecule
and where the valence electron from the hydrogen atom goes and
stuff like that.  I don't know anything about that stuff.

How large must the coefficient of static friction be between the tires and the road if a car is to round a level curve of radius
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

<h2>The coefficient of static friction will be 0.7</h2>

Explanation:

Given data

the radius of curve= 90m

speed v= 90 km/h to m/s = (90*100)/60*60=  25 m/s

we know that the expression for the centripetal force acting on the car

Fc= \frac{mv^2}{r}-------1

we also know that the expression for the frictional force between road and tire.

Ff= μmg--------2

Equating equation 1 and 2 we have

μmg= mv^2/r

μ= v^2/gr

substituting the values of speed and radius we have (assuming g= 9.81m/s^2)

μ= 25^2/9.81*90

μ= 625/882.9

μ= 0.7

As mass increases does potential energy decrease or increase?
timurjin [86]
The equation for potential energy is = mgh (m stands for mass, g stands for gravitational acceleration, and h stands for height)
So if mass increases, it will also increase potential energy
