That's just the tip of the iceberg" is a popular expression you may have heard. It means that what you can see is only a small p

art of the overall problem. As the diagram shows, most of an iceberg is actually out of sight, below the water level. Based on this diagram, what is the most likely density of the iceberg? (Assume a density of 1.03 g/mL for seawater.)
A. 0.88 g/cc
B. 1.23 g/cc
C. 0.23 g/cc
D. 4.14 g/cc

Answer:

B 1.23 g/cc

Explanation:
For something to float on seawater, the density must be less than 1.03 g/mL. If the object sinks, the density is greater than 1.03 g/mL.

Let’s examine the answer choices. Keep in mind, the ice berg is mostly below the water level.

A. 0.88 g/cc
This is less than 1.03 g/cc, which would result in floating.

B. 1.23 g/cc
This is the best answer choice. The iceberg is mostly beneath the water, but some of it is exposed. The density is greater than 1.03 g/mL, but not so much greater that it would immediately sink.

C. 0.23 g/cc
This is less than 1.03 g/cc, which would produce floating.

D. 4.14 g/cc
This is much greater than 1.03 g/cc and the result would be sinking.

What are 7 facts about Conduction?
Daniel [21]
Conduction, transfer of heat or electricity through a substance, resulting from a difference in temperature between different parts of the substance, in the case of heat, or from a difference in electric potential, in the case of electricity. Since heat is energy associated with the motions of the particles making up the substance, it is transferred by such motions, shifting from regions of higher temperature, where the particles are more energetic, to regions of lower temperature. The rate of heat flow between two regions is proportional to the temperature difference between them and the heat conductivity of the substance. In solids, the molecules themselves are bound and contribute to conduction of heat mainly by vibrating against neighboring molecules; a more important mechanism, however, is the migration of energetic free electrons through the solid. Metals, which have a high free-electron density, are good conductors of heat, while nonmetals, such as wood or glass, have few free electrons and do not conduct as well. Especially poor conductors, such as asbestos, have been used as insulators to impede heat flow (see insulation). Liquids and gases have their molecules farther apart and are generally poor conductors of heat. Conduction of electricity consists of the flow of charges as a result of an electromotive force, or potential difference. The rate of flow, i.e., the electric current, is proportional to the potential difference and to the electrical conductivity of the substance, which in turn depends on the nature of the substance, its cross-sectional area, and its temperature. In solids, electric current consists of a flow of electrons; as in the case of heat conduction, metals are better conductors of electricity because of their greater free-electron density, while nonmetals, such as rubber, are poor conductors and may be used as electrical insulators, or dielectrics. Increasing the cross-sectional area of a given conductor will increase the current because more electrons will be available for conduction. Increasing the temperature will inhibit conduction in a metal because the increased thermal motions of the electrons will tend to interfere with their regular flow in an electric current; in a nonmetal, however, an increase in temperature improves conduction because it frees more electrons.
