Answer:

Density decreases, Volume increases

Explanation:

As the temperature decreases, the water contracts. Water has maximum density at 4° C. Thereafter, on further decrease in temperature, the water expands on cooling. Actually the water molecules crystallizes into open hexagonal structure. Thus, volume increases and density decreases. This is the reason that ice floats on water. The mass remains the same.

Answer:

Its density decreases, and its volume increases

Explanation:

Density is defined as Mass/Volume. What happens when water transforms into ice is that its density decreases because the volume the molecules now occupy increases.

The denominator of the rational expression $\frac{Mass}{Volume}$ is now larger (while the numerator stays the same), so the quotient gives a smaller number.

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time.The velocity of the first airplane is 700 m/h at a heading of 31.3 the velocity

MArishka [77]

Here in order to find out the distance between two planes after 3 hours can be calculated by the concept of relative velocity

$v_{12} = v_1 - v_2$

here

speed of first plane is 700 mi/h at 31.3 degree

$v_1 = 700 cos31.3\hat i + 700 sin31.3\hat j$

$v_1 = 598.12\hat i + 363.7\hat j$

speed of second plane is 570 mi/h at 134 degree

$v_2 = 570 cos134 \hat i + 570 sin134 \hat j$

$v_2 = -396\hat i + 410\hat j$

now the relative velocity is given as

$v_{12} = (598.12 + 396)\hat i + (363.7 - 410)\hat j$

$v_{12} =994.12\hat i -46.3 \hat j$

now the distance between them is given as

$d = v* t$

$d = (994.12 \hat i - 46.3 \hat j)* 3$

$d = 2982.36\hat i - 138.9\hat j$

so the magnitude of the distance is given as

$d = \sqrt{2982.36^2 + 138.9^2}$

$d = 2985.6$ miles

so the distance between them is 2985.6 miles

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Answer

Explanation:

The very first generation of star systems in the universe probably consisted only of hydrogen and helium. This means that,

There were no comets or asteroids in these first-generation star systems. As the comets and asteroids were the only soruce of elements other than Hydrogen and Heliums ( As starts mainly consists of helium and hydrogen).

A 50 kg person steps off a diving platform that is 10 meters above the water below (Olympic height). With what speed do they hit

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass = 50 kg

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Height (h) = 10 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Final velocity (v) =?

The velocity (v) with which the person hit the water can be obtained as shown below:

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 10)

v² = 0 + 196

v² = 196

Take the square root of both side

v = √196

v = 14 m/s

Therefore, he will hit the water with a speed of 14 m/s
