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.

A 2.00 kg block hangs from a spring balance calibrated in Newtons that is attached to the ceiling of an elevator.(a) What does t

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Part a)

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part b)

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part c)

$Reading = 4.04 kg$

Part d)

from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s

so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block

Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s

from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s

The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass

Explanation:

Part a)

When elevator is ascending with constant speed then we will have

$F_{net} = 0$

$T - mg = 0$

$T = mg$

So it will read same as that of the mass

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part b)

When elevator is decending with constant speed then we will have

$F_{net} = 0$

$T - mg = 0$

$T = mg$

So it will read same as that of the mass

$Reading = 2.00 kg$

Part c)

When elevator is ascending with constant speed 39 m/s and acceleration 10 m/s/s then we will have

$F_{net} = ma$

$T - mg = ma$

$T = mg + ma$

Reading is given as

$Reading = \frac{mg + ma}{g}$

$Reading = 2.00\frac{9.81 + 10}{9.81}$

$Reading = 4.04 kg$

Part d)

Here the speed of the elevator is constant initially

from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s

so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block

Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s

from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s

The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass

What can be inferred when an atom is electrically charged?

Elena-2011 [213]

When an atom becomes electrically charged the number of electrons or protons stops and they are not equal again. The "extra" electron or proton is not balanced by something inside the atom any longer and it starts attracting itself to othet protons or electrons in other atoms.

<h3>What is atomic structure?</h3>

An atomic structure comprises of positively charged nucleus which is surrounded by negatively charged particles called electron and neutron which is neutral charged.

Unlike charges attract each other while like charges repel each other.

Therefore, When an electron is fully charged, the number of electrons will stop to be unequal again.

What are forces that two objects apply on each other

liq [111]

Answer: Whenever two objects are touching, they usually exert forces on each other. The force of gravity, on the other hand, is an example of a force that exists between objects without them having to be in contact. Objects with mass exert forces on each other via the force of gravity.
