When the temperature of ice-cold water is increased slightly, does it undergo a net expansion or net contraction?

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.

A steel ball and a piece of clay have equal mass. They are dropped from the same height on a horizontal steel platform. The ball
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: The ball (option A)

Explanation: change in momentum is defined by the formulae m(v - u) where m = mass of object, v = final velocity and u = initial velocity.

For the ball, it hits the ground and bounces back with the same speed, that's final velocity equals initials (v = - u)

Change in momentum = m( -u- u) = m(-2u) = m(-2u) = -2mu

For the clay, it final velocity is zero since it sticks to the floor, hence (v =0)

m(v - u) = m(0 - u) = - mu.

-2mu (change in momentum from the ball) is greater than - mu ( change in momentum of clay)

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Ptolemy proposed a model, he reference system is centered on the Earth

Copernicus, proposed a deferent system,  this system is centered on the Sun, where it is at the origin of the system

Explanation:

Thousands of years ago, Ptolemy proposed a model to explain the movement of the planets and stars in the sky, in this model the reference system is centered on the Earth, so each body is orbiting in different spheres around the Earth as its center, this system had very complicated calculations and curves to be able to explain the orbits of the planets.

More recently Copernicus, proposed a deferent system, this system is centered on the Sun, where it is at the origin of the system, in this system the movement of the planets are ellipses, which is a much simpler explanation and has been widely accepted, in current systems the reference system is fixed in the bodies more massive, since this simplifies the explanation of the movements.

A SUV is towing a trailer and accelerating on a level road. The force that the SUV exerts on the trailer is _____. equal to the
stepladder [879]

Answer:

equal to the force the trailer exerts on the road.

Explanation:

Because of the tension of the rope, the force that the SUV exerts on the trailer is equal and opposite to the force that the trailer exerts on the SUV. This is explained in Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction.
