Explain the process of anomalous expansion of water​

Physics
1 answer:
Kay [80]3 years ago
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%.

What force is most responsible for the path of an object during projectile motion?
Levart [38]
The gravitational force.

In fact, the motion of the projectile is composed by two independent motions:
- on the horizontal direction, it is a uniform motion (with constant speed)
- on the vertical direction, it is a uniformly accelerated motion, where the vertical acceleration g is given by the gravity exerted by the Earth on the projectile.

For this reason, the composition of the two motions results in a parabolic trajectory.
