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.

What often happens to light when it travels from one medium to another
quester [9]

Answer:

Although the speed changes and wavelength changes, the frequency of the light will be constant. The frequency, wavelength, and speed are related by: The change in speed that occurs when light passes from one medium to another is responsible for the bending of light, or refraction, that takes place at an interface.

The per-unit impedance of a single-phase electric load is 0.3. The base power is 500 kVA, and the base voltage is 13.8 kV. a. Fi
Leto [7]

Answer:

114.26

Explanation:

a)Formula for per unit impedance for change of base is

Zpu2= Zpu1×(kV1/kV2)²×(kVA2/kVA1)

Zpu2: New per unit impedance

Zpu1: given per unit impedance

kV1: give base voltage

kV2: New bas votlage

kVA1: given bas power

kVA2: new base power

In the question

Zpu2=??

Zpu1= 0.3

kV2=24kV

kV1= 13.8 kV

kVA2= 1MVA ×1000= 1000 kVA

kVA1=500kVA

Zpu2= 0.3(13.8/24)²×(1000/500)

Zpu2= 0.198

b) to find ohmic impedance we will first calculate base value of impedance(Zbase). So,

Zbase= kV²/MVA

  Zbase= 13.8²/(500/1000)

  Zbase=380.88

Now that we have base value of impedance, Zbase, we can calculate actual ohmic value of impedance(Zactual) by using the following formula:

Zpu=Zactual/Zbase

0.3= Zactual/380.88

Zactual= 114.26 ohms

What is it called cavity left behind in the rock after an organism's hard part has dissolved.
Lapatulllka [165]

Mold

Explanation:

A mold is a cavity that is left behind in the rock after an organism hard part has been dissolved. These are important fossils that useful in relative dating.

  • Some hard parts of organism are preserved in form of molds in soft sediments.
  • The outline and important details of the hard part is preserved when the mold dissolves away.
  • Fossil molds are representative on the internal outline of the hard parts of organisms.
  • They are usually recognized as a part of body fossil in a section.

g A 1.45-kg block is pushed against a vertical wall by means of a spring (k = 860 N/m). The coefficient of static friction betwe
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The minimum compression is  x= 0.046m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

              The mass of the block is m_b = 1.45 kg

               The spring constant is  k = 860 N/m

               The coefficient of static friction is  \mu = 0.36

For the the block not slip it mean the sum of forces acting on the  horizontal axis is equal to the forces acting on the vertical axis

     Now the force acting on the vertical axis is the force due to gravity which is mathematically given as

                   F_y = m_b*g

And the force acting on the horizontal axis is  force due to the spring which is mathematically represented as

                   F_x = k *x * \mu

where x is the minimum compression to keep the block from slipping

        Now equating this two formulas and making x the subject

                      x = \frac{m_b * g}{k * \mu}

substituting values we have

                     x = \frac{1.45 * 9.8}{860 *0.36}

                        x= 0.046m
