Answer:

When water freezes, water molecules form a crystalline structure maintained by hydrogen bonding. Solid water, or ice, is less dense than liquid water. Ice is less dense than water because the orientation of hydrogen bonds causes molecules to push farther apart, which lowers the density.

Water flows with constant speed through a garden hose that goes up to 27.5 cm high. if the water pressure is 132kpa at the botto
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

Explanation:

From Hydrostatics we find that the pressure difference between extremes of the water column is defined by the following formula, which is a particular case of the Bernoulli's Principle (v_{bottom}\approx v_{top}):

p_{bottom}-p_{top} = \rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h (1)

p_{bottom}, p_{top} - Total pressures at the bottom and at the top, measured in pascals.

\rho - Density of the water, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

\Delta h - Height difference of the step, measured in meters.

If we know that p_{bottom} = 132000\,Pa, \rho = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and \Delta h = 0.275\,m, then the pressure at the top of the step is:

p_{top} = p_{bottom}-\rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h

p_{top} = 132000\,Pa-\left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.275\,m)

p_{top} = 129303.075\,Pa

p_{top} = 129.303\,kPa

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

Consider a ball rolling down the decreasing slope inside a semicircular bowl (the slope is steep at the top rim, gets less steep
satela [25.4K]
The answer would be:
<span>It's rate of gaining speed decreases.
The rate at which speed changes is called acceleration, 
You can think of this problem as an inclined plane. But the angle of an inclined plane is constantly decreasing.
We know that on a frictionless inclined plane acceleration of an object is:
</span>a=gsin(\theta)
<span>Where g is the gravitational acceleration of the Earth and \theta is the angle of an inclined plane. 
Using our analogy, the ball would start on an inclined plane with a 90-degree angle and that angle would continue to decrease to zero. 
The sine function is 1 at 90 degrees and is equal to zero at 0 degrees. Since our acceleration is proportional to the sine, and sine function is decreasing with the angle, our acceleration is also decreasing.

A scale reads 184 N when a piece of copper is hanging from it. What does it read (in N) when it is lowered so that the copper is
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

  163 N

Explanation:

The density of copper is about 8.96. The ratio of the weight in water to the weight in air is about 1-1/ρ, so is about 0.8884.

  0.8884 × 184 N ≈ 163 N

The submerged weight is about 163 N.

When the volume of the gas is reduced, what change in property would be the most reasonable to expect?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Two possibities: Increase in pressure or decrease in temperature.

Explanation:

There are two possibilities under the assumption that mass of the gas is conserved and, consquently, the amount of moles is also conserved, a reduction in the volume of the gas leads to an increase in pressure (Boyle's Law) and a decrease in temperature (Gay-Lussac's Law)
