Answer:

ice is a poor conductor of heat and less dense than water. During winter, ice floats and insulates the water under it. Below the frozen layer, the water remains in its liquid state and does not freeze. Also, oxygen is trapped beneath the layer of ice. This makes it possible for aquatic animals to survive during winter.

Determine the elastic energy U stored in<br> the compressed spring.

hoa [83]

Answer:

Answer: The spring constant of the spring is k = 800 N/m, and the potential energy is U = 196 J. To find the distance, rearrange the equation: The equation to find the distance the spring has been compressed is therefore: The spring has been compressed 0.70 m, which resulted in an elastic potential energy of U = 196 J being stored.

The average diameter of one tennis ball in a package of three is 6.8 cm. Which of the following is the combined volume of all th

Crank

We want to find the combined volume of 3 tennis balls. We will get that the combined volume is 493.7 cm^3

First, remember that for a sphere of diameter D, the volume is:

$V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{D}{2})^3$

Where 3.14 is pi.

Here we know that the average diameter of a tennis ball is 6.8cm, then we can replace that in the above equation to find the volume (in average) of a single tennis ball:

$V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*(\frac{6.8cm}{2})^3 = 164.5 cm^3$
