B) Ice floats on top of liquid water and D) liquid is less dense than ice. The rest of the answers aren’t true because ice never sinks to the bottom of the water since ice is more dense than water.

Answer: A. Liquid water is denser than ice.

B. Ice floats on top of liquid water.

Explanation:

Water molecules are bonded by strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom.

The density of water is liquid state is more than the density of ice. Water has a property to expand when it freezes and it forms cage like structure in the ice. This results in the increase of volume and thus the density of ice is lesser than that of liquid water.

The substance with more density than water sinks in it and the substance with lesser density than water will float in water.

Thus ice being less dense than liquid water floats on top of it.

This problem follows up on a discussion from lecture. A wind turbine with an efficiency of 45% for converting wind energy into e
Volgvan

Answer:

4.1 m

Explanation:

10 kW = 10000 W

20mi/h = 20*1.6 km/mi = 32 km/h = 32 * 1000 (m/km) *(1/3600) hr/s = 8.89 m/s

The power yielded by the wind turbine can be calculated using the following formula

P = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^3 A C_p

where \rho = 1.2 kg/m^3 is the air density, v = 8.89 m/s is the wind speed, A is the swept area and C_p = 0.45 is the efficiency

10000 = 0.5 * 1.2 * 8.89^3 * A * 0.45

10000 = 190A

A = 10000 / 190 = 52.7 m^2

The swept area is a circle with radius r being the blade length

\pi r^2 = A = 52.7

r^2 = 52.7 / \pi = 16.79

r = \sqrt{16.79} = 4.1 m

You should check your battery ___________.
podryga [215]

One should check the battery every week.

A battery if not maintained properly can cause it to die earlier or get damaged. The reasons why should the battery be checked regularly is that due to improper management of the battery and also the weather conditions, the battery usually gets corroded easily and the battery won't be able to work properly.

The connections must be checked properly so that the battery gets charged properly and should not die while driving.
