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%.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The acceleration of a particle, $a=-8\ m/s^2$ (negative as the particle is decelerating)

Initial distance, x₁ = 20 m

Initial time, t₁ = 4 s

New distance x₂ = 4 m

Velocity, v = 10 m/s

(A) Calculating initial distance using second equation of motion as :

$x_1=ut_1+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$20=4u+\dfrac{1}{2}(-8)\times 4^2$

u = 21 m/s

When velocity of the particle is zero, time taken is t (say). Using first equation of motion as :

$v=u+at$

$0=21+(-8)t$

t = 2.62 seconds

So, the velocity of the particle is zero at t = 2.62 seconds.

(B) Velocity at t = 11 s

$v=21+(-8)\times 11$

v = 13 m/s

Total distance covered at t = 11 s. The overall path travelled by the particle during its entire journey is called total distance covered.

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2+|ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2|$

$d=21\times 2.62+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (-8)(2.62)^2+|21\times 8.38+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (-8)(8.38)^2|$

d = 132.48 m

So, the distance travelled by the particle at t = 11 seconds is 132.48 meters.

They would be able to jump higher with less effort the ball would weigh less meaning it could be dribbled with little to no effort there would also be the fact that your running would be effected.your legs would come off the ground if only for an inch or two allowing you to travel faster but with less control
