From the freezing temperature up to about 4°C (39°F) the water CONTRACTS.  That is, it becomes MORE dense.  I think I read that water is the ONLY known substance whose solid phase floats in its liquid phase.  That's why the cubes float in your soda and bergs float in the ocean.  And if weren't so, then life on Earth would not be possible !  Oceans and lakes would freeze from the bottom up, ONE TIME, and then never thaw again.

What is the mass of a stone moving at a speed of 15 meters/second and having a momentum of 7.5 kilogram - meters / seconds
Elanso [62]

Answer:

0.5 kg

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is defined as

p = mv

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

In this problem we have,

v = 15 m/s is the velocity of the stone

p = 7.5 kg m/s is the momentum

Solving for m, we can find the mass of the stone:

m=\frac{p}{v}=\frac{7.5 kg m/s}{15 m/s}=0.5 kg
