Answer:
The correct answer is a) The kinetic energy of the ice increases by equal amounts for equal distances.
Explanation:
The law of conservation states that the energy cannot be created nor be destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.Before the ice even starts falling we already know that it possesses energy in the form of potential energy given by P=mgh where m is the mass of the ice , g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the ice above the ground whatever that may be, since a number is not given here.As the ice falls the energy is converted from potential energy to kinetic energy. We notice one thing about the equation for the potential energy P , which is that it is not only directly proportional to h but also is linear in h as well(which is the main reason why a) is correct) which means that if the ice drops by 1 meter the potential energy it will have lost would be ΔPE=mgΔh=-mg, where Δh is the change in its height which is 1 meter here.And according to the principle of conservation of energy this energy must be converted to kinetic energy so the ΔKE=-ΔPE=mg, and this process repeats and for each meter it falls, it picks up the same amount of kinetic energy equaling mg(which is the same as the loss in PE per each meter of fall). So a 2 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 2mg, a 3 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 3mg. gain in kinetic energy only depends on the drop in height, which is true irrespective of where the ice might happen to be in its journey close to the top or the bottom. So the drop in height of lets say x at any point in the journey will result in the same increase in KE = ΔKE = mgx. Which proves part a) to be correct.
Answer:
Technician B is correct
Explanation:
Freezing is a method of conversion of substance in its liquid state to solid state. It is the process by which a liquid substance changes to a solid at a particular temperature.
Increasing the pressure and decreasing the temperature of a liquid increases its freezing point. For example, in other to freeze water i.e to change water to ice, it has to be kept in a fridge at a temperature lower than the temperature of the water. The essence of covering the fridge after placing the water in the fridge is to increase the pressure of the liquid hence increasing its freezing rate.
Based on the above explanation, it can be concluded that technician B is correct.
Answer:
0.426 L
Explanation:
Boyles law is expressed as p1v1=p2v2 where
P1 is first pressure, v1 is first volume
P2 is second pressure, v2 is second volume.
Given information
P1=96 kPa, v1=0.45 l
P2=101.3 kpa
Unknown is v2
Making v2 the subject from Boyle's law
Substituting the given values then
Therefore, the volume is approximately 0.426 L
Answer:
Plane will 741.6959 m apart after 1.7 hour
Explanation:
We have given time = 1.7 hr
So if we draw the vectors of a 2d graph we see that the difference in angles is = 
Speed of first plane = 730 m/h
So distance traveled by first plane = 730×1.7 = 1241 m
Speed of second plane = 590 m/hr
So distance traveled by second plane = 590×1.7 = 1003 m
We represent these distances as two sides of the triangle, and the distance between the planes as the side opposing the angle 58.6.
Using the law of cosine, 
representing the distance between the planes, we see that:
r = 741.6959 m
