Explain the process of anomalous expansion of water

1 answer:

8 0

The anomalous expansion of water refers to the fact that water, unlike most substances, expands when it freezes. The density of water increases as temperature decreases but reaches a maximum at 4° C then begins to expand.

When liquid water is cooled, it contracts like one would expect until a temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius is reached. After that, it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point, and then when it freezes it expands by approximately 9%.

A 3.0 kg box is suspended by a series of ropes as shown below. The tension force in the horizontal rope is -40 N. What is the te

Nitella [24]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Let the force in the horizontal rope be F₁ and the force in the diagonal rope be F₂:

The total force in the horizontal and vertical directions must be zero, since the object is at rest and is not accelerating.

The horizontal component of the forces:

F₁ + F₂ = -40N + F₂ = 0

F₂ = 40N

The vertical component of the forces:

F₁ + F₂ - mg = 0 + F₂ - mg = 0

F₂ = mg

If I assume the gravitational constant g = 10 m/s²:

F₂ = (3 kg) * (10 m/s²) = 30N

Adding the horizontal and vertical components of the force F₂:

F₂ = √((40N)² + (30N)²) = 50N

To apply Problem-Solving Strategy 12.2 Sound intensity. You are trying to overhear a most interesting conversation, but from you

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

r₂ = 0.316 m

Explanation:

The sound level is expressed in decibels, therefore let's find the intensity for the new location

β = 10 log $\frac{I}{I_o}$

let's write this expression for our case

β₁ = 10 log \frac{I_1}{I_o}

β₂ = 10 log \frac{I_2}{I_o}

β₂ -β₁ = 10 ( $log \frac{I_2}{I_o} - log \frac{I_1}{I_o}$ )

β₂ - β₁ = 10 $log \frac{I_2}{I_1}$

log \frac{I_2}{I_1} = $\frac{60 - 20}{10}$ = 3

$\frac{I_2}{I_1}$ = 10³

I₂ = 10³ I₁

having the relationship between the intensities, we can use the definition of intensity which is the power per unit area

I = P / A

P = I A

the area is of a sphere

A = 4π r²

the power of the sound does not change, so we can write it for the two points

P = I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

I₁ r₁² = I₂ r₂²

we substitute the ratio of intensities

I₁ r₁² = (10³ I₁ ) r₂²

r₁² = 10³ r₂²

r₂ = r₁ / √10³

we calculate

r₂ = $\frac{10.0}{\sqrt{10^3} }$

r₂ = 0.316 m

A jet plane flying 600 m/s experiences an acceleration of 4g when pulling out of the dive. What is the radius of curvature of th

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

91.84 m/s²

Explanation:

velocity, v = 600 m/s

acceleration, a = 4 g = 4 x 9.8 = 39.2 m/s^2

Let the radius of the loop is r.

he experiences a centripetal force.

centripetal acceleration,

a = v² / r

39.2 x r = 600 x 600

r = 3600 / 39.2

r = 91.84 m/s²

Thus, the radius of the loop is 91.84 m/s².
