Answer:

D. Frozen water is less dense than liquid water.

Explanation:

Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the year 1912. There were more than 2000 passengers on board from which about 1500 died.

Frozen water that is ice has less density than liquid water. The density of ice is 0.9167 g/cm^3 and the density of the water is 0.9998 g/cm^3.

Due to this very slight difference in density, ice floats on water. Titanic, on the night of April 14, 1912, crashed into an iceberg around midnight which caused opening of 5 of its watertight compartments. The water filled into the ship and it eventually sank in.

Why does the solar system consist of small planets orbiting close to sun and larger on more distant
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The inner planets are smaller and rockier

Explanation:

Astronomers divide the planets into two groups in Solar system,  the  inner planets and outer planets. The inner planets are smaller and rockier and it is closer to the sun.  The outer planets are larger , further far away and made of gas

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus , Earth and Mars.  The outer planets Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus and Neptune comes after an  asteroid belt. In some other planetary systems the gas are close to the sun.

particles in a disk of gas and dust will form Planets.  If they orbit the star they are colliding and sticking.  The stars wind blows away their gases . So the nearest planets to starts are rockier.

A light beam is directed parallel to the axis of a hollow cylindrical tube. When the tube contains only air, the light takes 8.7
monitta

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of light in a medium of refractive index V = V₀ / μ

V₀  is velocity of light in air and μ is refractive index of light.

time to travel in tube with air =  length of tube / velocity of light

8.72 ns = L / V₀  L is length of tube .

time to travel in tube with jelly =  length of tube / velocity of light

8.72+ 1.82  = L / V  L is length of tube .

10.54 ns = L / V

dividing the equations

10.54 / 8.72 = V₀  / V

10.54 / 8.72 =   μ

1.21 =  μ

refractive index of jelly = 1.21 .
