In almost every case in nature, adding heat to a liquid
causes the density of the liquid to decrease. That is,
when the liquid gets warmer, it expands and occupies
more space.
The one big exception to this rule is water !
Starting with a block of ice at zero°C (32°F), as the ice melts,
becomes water at zero°C, and all the way to 4°C (about 39°F),
its density increases all the way. That is, it shrinks and occupies
less volume as it goes from ice at zero°C to water at 4°C.
This sounds like an interesting but insignificant quirk ... until
you realize that if water didn't do this, then life on Earth would
be impossible !
Answer:
Since velocity is a speed and a direction, there are only two ways for you to accelerate
Explanation:
change your speed or change your direction—or change both.
-- The acceleration due to gravity is 32.2 ft/sec² . That means that the
speed of a falling object increases by an additional 32.2 ft/sec every second.
-- If dropped from "rest" (zero initial speed), then after falling for 4 seconds,
the object's speed is (4.0) x (32.2) = <em>128.8 ft/sec</em>.
-- 128.8 ft/sec = <em>87.8 miles per hour</em>
Now we can switch over to the metric system, where the acceleration
due to gravity is typically rounded to 9.8 meters/sec² .
-- Distance = (1/2) x (acceleration) x (time)²
D = (1/2) (9.8) x (4)² =<em> 78.4 meters</em>
-- At 32 floors per 100 meters, 78.4 meters = dropped from the <em>25th floor</em>.
The 5 points are certainly appreciated, but I do wish they were Celsius points.
Because a nuclear meltdown can be caused if systems fail.
