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%.

When a jet lands on an aircraft carrier, a hook on the tail of the plane grabs a wire that quickly brings the plane to a halt be
Veronika [31]
The problem seems to be incomplete because there is no question. However, from the problem description, the logical question is to find he acceleration needed by the jet to land on the airplane carrier. The working equation would be:

2ad = v₂² - v₁²
Since the jet stops, v₂ = 0. Substituting the values:
2(a)(95 m) = 0² - [(240 km/h)(1000 m/1 km)(1h/3600 s)]²
Solving for a,
<em>a = -23.39 m/s² (the negative sign indicates that the jet is decelerating)</em>

How can you determine the rate of a chemical reaction?
DanielleElmas [232]
Take a look at a simple reaction like the one below:

In this reaction some reactant A is turned into some product B. The rate of reaction can be represented by a decrease in concentration of A over time or as the increase of B over time. This is written:

If the distance between slits on a diffraction grating is 0.50 mm and one of the angles of diffraction is 0.25°, how large is th
Trava [24]

Answer:

-  path differnce = 2.18*10^-6

-  1538 lines

Explanation:

- The path difference for the waves that produce the pattern of diffraction, is given by the following formula:

path\ difference\ = dsin\theta           (1)

d: separation between slits = 0.50mm = 0.50*10^-3 m

θ: angle of a diffraction = 0.25°

Then, the path difference is:

path\ difference\ =(0.50*10^{-3}m)sin(0.25\°)=2.18*10^{-6}m

- The maximum number of bright lines are calculated by using the following formula:

m\lambda = dsin\theta           (2)

m: order of the bright

λ: wavelength = 650nm

The maximum bright is calculated for an angle of 90°:

m=\frac{(0.50*10^{-3}m)sin90\°}{650*10^{-9}m} \approx 769

The maxium number of bright lines are twice the previous result, that is, 1538 lines

How did scientists determine the age of the ocean floor
Umnica [9.8K]

the layers of rocks, the ancient treasures that are at the bottom of the sea, how old the coral is. But I don't think they determined how old it is, how would the dinosaurs that lived in water swim or any drink water. I don't know if this helps but hopefully it does. Also scientist have made advanced tech that could help with the age determination of the ocean floor.
