What is the anomalous expansivity of water

Physics

Answer:

The anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4°C to 0°C, and it becomes less dense. The density becomes less and less as it freezes because molecules of water normally form open crystal structures when in solid form.

A slab of glass 8.0 cm thick is placed upon a printed page. If the refractive index of the glass is 1.5, how far from the surfac

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

5.3 cm

Explanation:

This question is an illustration of real and apparent distance.

From the question, we have the following given parameters

Real Distance, R = 8.0cm

Refractive Index, μ = 1.5

Required

Determine the apparent distance (A)

The relationship between R, A and μ is:

μ = R/A

i.e.

Refractive Index = Real Distance ÷ Apparent Distance

Substitute values in the above formula

1.5 = 8/A

Multiply both sides by A

1.5 * A = A * 8/A

1.5A = 8

Divide both side by 1.5

1.5A/1.5 = 8/1.5

A = 8/1.5

A = 5.3cm

Hence, the letters would appear at a distance of 5.3cm

Very easy physics maths about current and other stuffs only one question please help me

Reil [10]

Answer:

The total voltage of the circuit is 18 volts.

Explanation:

We have, three identical resistors of resistance 3 ohms are connected in series in a circuit.

For a series combination, the equivalent resistance is given by the sum of individual resistances i.e.

$R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3\\\\R_{eq}=3+3+3\\\\R_{eq}=9\ \Omega$

Let V is the voltage of the battery if the current in the circuit is 2 A. So,

$V=IR$

$V=2\times 9\\\\V=18\ V$

So, the total voltage of the circuit is 18 volts.

Charlie pulls horizontally to the right on a wagon with a force of 37.2 N. Sara pulls horizontally to the left with a force of 2

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The work done on the wagon is 37 joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

The force applied by Charlie to the right, F = 37.2 N

The force applied by Sara to the left, F' = 22.4 N

We need to find the work done on the wagon after it has moved 2.50 meters to the right. The net force acting on the wagon is :

$F_n=F-F'$
