Answer:

it is due to anamolous expansion of water as water cools from 4dg.c to 0dg.c. it expand making ice lighter than water to float

Ask Your Teacher In the air over a particular region at an altitude of 500 m above the ground, the electric field is 120 N/C dir

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

$1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

A = Area

h = Altitude = 600 m

Electric flux through the top would be

$-110A$ (negative as the electric field is going into the volume)

At the bottom

$120A$

Total flux through the volume

$\phi=120-110\\\Rightarrow \phi=10A$

Electric flux is given by

$\phi=\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_0}\\\Rightarrow q=\phi\epsilon_0\\\Rightarrow q=10A\epsilon_0$

Charge per volume is given by

$\rho=\dfrac{q}{v}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\dfrac{10A\epsilon_0}{Ah}\\\Rightarrow \rho=dfrac{10\epsilon_0}{h}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\dfrac{10\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}{600}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3$

The volume charge density is $1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3$

Invader Zim’s spaceship is sitting at rest in outer space. The ship then accelerates at a uniform rate of 12 m/s2 for 10 seconds

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

120 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 12 m/s²

t = 10 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (12 m/s²) (10 s) + 0 m/s

v = 120 m/s

What is friction and explain

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Friction is the force you get when you (for example) Rub something with another, it's a force that may generate heat and even some resistance. Another example is rubbing your hands together, they get hot, therefore friction is working, without friction you wouldn't be able to stop moving.
