Aspaceship leaves earth and maintains a constant force by means of a nuclear engine. as the speed of the spaceship increases, an observer on earth finds that relative to her the magnitude of the spaceship's acceleration is a. 0. b. decreasing constant. increasing proportional to the kinetic energy of the spaceship.

4.at 0 ºc, some amount of energy is required to change 1 kg of water from a solid into a liquid. if you had a 2 kg piece of ice, what effect would this have on the amount of thermal energy required to change the water from a solid to a liquid? it would require more energy to change solid water into liquid water because there are more molecules in this larger piece of ice. it would still require the same amount of energy to change solid water into liquid water because the entire piece of ice would still gain the same amount of energy in each case. it would require energy to be removed from the 2 kg piece of ice. the larger piece of ice already has more total energy than the smaller piece of ice, so energy must be removed for the ice to become liquid. it would require less energy to change solid water into liquid water because the energy would spread through the ice more quickly and the ice already has a larger total amount of energy because it is larger than a 1 kg piece of ice.
