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

1 answer:

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.

A block of wood is floating in water; it is depressed slightly and then released to oscillate up and down. Assume that the top a

Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

Equilibrium position in y direction:

W = Fb (Weight of the block is equal to buoyant force)

m*g = V*p*g

V under water = A*h

hence,

m = A*h*p

Using Newton 2nd Law

$-m*\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = Fb - W\\\\-m*\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = p*g*(h+y)*A - A*h*p*g\\\\-A*h*p*\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = y *p*A*g\\\\\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} + \frac{g}{h} * y =0$
