Explain why fish survive under water when the surface is already frozen​

Physics
1 answer:
nadya68 [22]3 years ago
3 0

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.

An object with a mass of 3.0kg has a force of 9.0 newtons applied to it. What is the resulting acceleration of
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The acceleration is: a=3 \frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

To answer this, we need to recall Newton's Second Law of motion, that states that an object of mass m would accelerate (change its state of uniform motion) proportional to the force (F) that is applied , and exemplified by the following equation:

F=m\,a

From here, and using the given values for mass (m = 3 kg) and force (F = 9 N), we can derive the value of the acceleration as shown below (notice that since all quantities are given in SI units, the resulting acceleration will also be in Si units (\frac{m}{s^2}):

F=m\,a\\9\,N=3\,kg\,a\\a=\frac{9}{3} \frac{m}{s^2} \\a=3 \frac{m}{s^2}

A roller-coaster car has a mass of 1240 kg when fully loaded with passengers. As the car passes over the top of a circular hill
LiRa [457]

Answer:

a)      N = 7.90 10³ N,  b) N = -1.04 10⁴ N

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we can use Newton's second law

             N -W = m (-a)

The relationship is centripetal, the negative sign of the acceleration is because it points towards the center of the circle

              a = v² / r

we substitute

             N = mg -m v² /r  

             N = m (g - v² /r)

let's calculate

v = 8.7 m / s

             N = 1240 (9.81 - 8.7²/22)

             N = 7.90 10³ N

b) v = 20 m / s

             N = 1240 (9.81 - 20²/22)

             N = -1.04 10⁴ N

A perfect gas undergoes a constant 100 kPa pressure process with a 20 m3 change in volume. What is the work required to cause th
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The work required to cause this volume change is 2 x 10⁶ J

Explanation:

Given;

constant pressure of the gas, P = 100 kPa = 100,000 Pa

change in volume of the gas, ΔV = 20 m³

The work required to cause this volume change is calculated as;

W = PΔV

Substitute the given values and solve for the required work (W).

W = (100,000)(20)

W = 2 x 10⁶ J

Therefore, the work required to cause this volume change is 2 x 10⁶ J

Nuclear power plants produce energy using:________
Sergio [31]

Answer: a. nuclear fission.

Explanation:

Nuclear power plants use heavy materials, like uranium 238, which is bombarded with neutrons. When the neutrons interact with the uranium, there is fission (a division of one atom into smaller ones and other subatomic particles), and in this process, more neutrons are produced. These new neutrons may impact other atoms of uranium and continue with this cycle, generating heat in the process.

Then we can conclude that nuclear power plants produce energy using nuclear fission.
