5questions ! 1. what is newton's first law known as? the law of a- friction b- mass c- gravity d- inertia 2. many people are familiar with the fact that a rifle recoils when fired. this recoil is the result of action-reaction force pairs. a gunpowder explosion creates hot gases that expand outward allowing the rifle to push forward on the bullet. consistent with newton's third law of motion, the butlet pushes backwards upon the rifle. the acceteration of the recoiling rifle a- greater than the acceleration of the bullet. b- smaller than the acceleration of the bullet. c- two times greater than the acceleration of the bullet. d- the same size as the acceleration of the bullet. 3. the fact that a large cruise ship can float in water is an example of what ? a- weight b- buoyant force c- volume d- friction 4. devices such as seat belts and air bags are used to protect passengers from which one of newton's laws ? a- law of action/reaction b- none of these c-law of inertia d-law of acceleration 5. which of the following affect friction ? (you can choose one or more than 1) * hight * weight * length * roughness of surface

The answer to your question really depends on three things: how much water you have, how cold it is to start out, and how cold the things around it are. water actually freezes when it gets to 32 degrees fahrenheit (0 degrees celsius), but the time it takes to get there may be different.  let's start with the first. if you take two glasses, and fill one with a tiny bit of water, and the other about halfway, then put them both in the freezer, the one with less water will freeze first (you can try this at home, but i recommend using plastic cups and not glass ones).  now let's move on to the second part. let's say you have two glasses, and you fill one with really cold water that has been in the refrigerator, and the other with really hot water from the sink. if you put both of them in the freezer, the one that started out colder will freeze first.  for the third part, let's imagine that you have two glasses with the same amount of water in them, and the water is at the same temperature. imagine putting one outside on a really really cold day in georgia, and having a friend in alaska put one outside on the same day. since it would be so much colder in alaska, the glass of water there would freeze before yours.  so, if you took a tiny bit of really cold water in a glass, and put it outside on a cold day in alaska, it would freeze a lot faster than a big glass of hot water outside on a cold day in georgia.
