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 rock tied to the end of a string moves in a circle at a constant speed of 2.5 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 4.0 m/s.
artcher [175]

The radius of the circular motion at the given speed is 1.56 m.

The given parameters;

  • <em>speed of the rock, v = 2.5 m/s</em>
  • <em>acceleration of the rock, a = 4 m/s²</em>

<em />

The radius of the circular motion is calculated by using centripetal acceleration formula as follows;

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\r = \frac{v^2}{a_c} \\\\r = \frac{2.5^2}{4} \\\\r = 1.56 \ m

Thus, the radius of the circular motion at the given speed is 1.56 m.

Which example best illustrates the transfer of energy between two waves?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Vibrations of electric and magnetic fields.

Vibration of air particles

Vibration of the water particles.

Explanation:

We have here two groups of waves. Electromagnetic wave and mechanical waves.

  1. For the first one, electromagnetic waves, energy is transferred through vibrations of electric and magnetic fields.
  2. For the second group, mechanical waves as a sound, for instance, energy is transferred through vibration of air particles or particles of a solid through which the sound travels. Or In water waves, energy is transferred through the vibration of the water particles.

I hope it helps you!

How to calculate percent error
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Steps to Calculate the Percent Error

Subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

Take the absolute value of step 1.

Divide that answer by the accepted value.

Multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

Please helppp nowwwwww
kogti [31]

Answer:

4.) the dependent variable is the french fry

5.) the independent variable is the jar; whether it has a lid on or not

6.) there are plenty of control variables in this example, the type of jar (size, material of the jar, etc.), the type of french fry, the room that the jars are in, the air pressure in the room, how long the experiment is, etc.

7.) My conclusion would be that the french fry that has the most exposure to the air.

The moisture in the french fry is leaving the jar because it is exposed to the open air. It becomes stale. But because the other french fry is in the closed jar, it is not exposed to the air or any new type of bacteria that could've entered the open jar. It'll stay fresher longer because it is not exposed the way the fry in the open jar is.

Explanation:

The dependent variable is the variable that is being tested. It is the one that changes due to whatever is being placed upon it.

  • i.e. the dependent variable in an experiment that tests the growth rate of lima bean plants in different colored lighting is the lima bean plant. <em>Depending</em> on the color of the lighting, the lima bean plant will grow at different rates.

The independent variable is the variable that is changed or controlled by an experimenter

  • i.e. the independent variable in an experiment that tests the growth rate of lima bean plants in different colored lighting is the different colored lighting. The color of the lighting helps prove the hypothesis that the growth rate of a lima bean plant is dependent on the lighting. In other words, the color of the light is not dependent on the growth of the plant.

A control variable is a variable that cannot be changed and is constant throughout the entire experiment

  • i.e. temperature, gravity, pollutants in the air, air pressure, humidity, etc.
