When water in a lake freezes, the ice that forms floats on top of any water that is still liquid. Why does the ice float?

High schoolphysics 5+3 pts a neon light consists of a glass tube with metal wires at each end. when connected to a high-voltage source, the gas glows. if a fly lands on the glass tube, what will most likely happen? a) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass conducts any free electrons back into the gas. b) electrons will flow directly from the metal wires along the glass and shock the fly. c) the fly will not feel a shock because the glass insulates it from the electrons in the gas and the metal. d) electrons that are moving through the gas will be conducted through the glass and shock the fly.

Balloon a has charge q, and identical mass balloon b has charge 10q. you hang them from threads near each other. choose all of the statements with which you agree. check all that apply. a. a and b exert the same magnitude forces on each other. b. the force that a exerts on b is 10 times the force that b exerts on a. c. the angle between the thread supporting a and the vertical is < the angle between the thread supporting b and the vertical. d. the force that a exerts on b is 1/10 the force that b exerts on a.

Rank the six combinations of electric charges on the basis of the electric force acting on q1. define forces pointing to the right as positive and forces pointing to the left as negative. rank positive forces as larger than negative forces. q1,q2,q3 = positive(+) q1 = + q2 = + q3 = - q1 = + q2= - q3= + q1= - q2= + q3= + q1= + q2= - q3= - q1,q2,q3 = negative
