Answer:
Why is ice more reflective (has higher albedo) than liquid water? They're both the same substance (water). Is something quantum mechanical involved?
Explanation:
In fact ice is slightly less reflective than water. The reflectivity is related to the refractive index (in a rather complicated way) and the refractive index of ice is 1.31 while the refractive index of water is 1.33. The slightly lower refractive index of ice will cause a slightly lower reflectivity. In both cases the reflectivity is about 0.05 i.e. at an air/water or air/ice surface about 5% of the light is reflected.
For his science project, Austin wants to determine if the pH of standing rainwater changes over time. He collects rainwater and distributes it evenly in 5 jars and places them all indoors in a spot that does not receive a lot of sunlight to limit evaporation. Using a pH testing kit, he measures the pH of the water in the first jar on the 4th day, second jar on the 8th day, third jar on the 12th day, fourth jar on the 16th day and fifth jar on the 20th day. What is the independent, or manipulated, variable in Austin's experiment?
Answer:
This question lacks options, the options are:
A. the number of days the rainwater was allowed to sit
B. the number of times the rainwater was observed
C. the change in the amount of rainwater due to evaporation
D. the change in pH of the rainwater over time
The answer is A
Explanation:
In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that is changed or manipulated by the experimenter in order to effect a measurable response.
In this experiment, Austin is trying to determine how time changes the pH of standing rainwater. He collects rainwater and distributes it evenly in 5 jars, which he measured the pH at different days using a pH testing kit. Hence, the independent or manipulated variable is THE NUMBER OF DAYS THE RAINWATER WAS ALLOWED TO SIT before measuring their pH.

Explain how conduction, convection, and radiation drive the water cycle in Earth’s system.
Answer:
During the day, sunlight heats the ground, which in turn heats the air directly above it via conduction. At night, the ground cools and the heat flows from the warmer air directly above to the cooler ground via conduction.
Explanation:
Luck For You!
The process, in which conduction, convection, and radiation drive the water cycle in Earth’s system, is discussed in the answer.
What is water cycle?The energy from the sun is what largely drives the water cycle. By evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil, this solar energy powers the cycle. Through the process of transpiration, more water is transferred from plants to the atmosphere. Water droplets gradually acquire enough mass to fall back to Earth as precipitation as liquid water evaporates or transpires, forming clouds and water vapour.
The precipitation eventually transforms into runoff or groundwater and makes its way back into the surface reservoirs across a variety of periods. The hydrosphere currently contains the same amount of water as it has always contained in the Earth system since the water cycle is essentially a closed system.
Solar heat energy comes on earth's surface via radiation to the ponds, lakes, oceans, seas, rivers and other water resources and then the waterbodies get heated via conduction and evaporation happens. During evaporation time temperature water vapor goes to high altitude via convection of heat and cloud forms.

Alok and his father are sitting at a distance of 5 meter on a seesaw. His father is at the distance of 2 meter from the fulcrum and Slok weighs 20 kg. If they are balancing the seesaw, find the weight of his father.
Answer:
30kg
Explanation:
Distance between Alok and father = 5m
Father's distance from fulcrum = 2m
Solak's weight = 20kg
Unknown:
Weight of the father = ?
Solution:
This problem entail the balancing of forces around a fulcrum.
In this problem;
workdone by father = workdone by Alok
( mass x distance) father = (mass x distance) Alok
distance of Alok from the fulcrum = 3m
Input the parameters and solve;
mass of father x 2 = 20 x 3
mass of father = 30kg
The weight of the father is 30kg

Problem 4- An object with a mass of 3.0 kg accelerates 2.5 m/s2 when an unknown force is
applied to it. What is the amount of the force?
Problem 5- An object accelerates 12.0 m/s2 when a force of 6.0 N is applied to it. What is the
mass of the object?
Answer:
Problem 1-

Problem 3 -
The acceleration = 2.5 m/s²
Problem 4-
The force applied = 7.5 N
Problem 5-
The mass of the object, = 0.5 kg.
Explanation:
Problem 1-
The mass of the ball, m = 0.5 kg
The force (applied) with which it was hit, F = 2.5 N
The acceleration, a = Force/Mass = 2.5 N/(0.5 kg) = 5 m/s²
The acceleration = 5 m/s²
Problem 2 -
The mass of the box, m = 15 kg
The force (applied) with which it was hit, F = 50 N
The acceleration, a = Force/Mass = 50 N/(15 kg) = 10/3 = 3.[tex]\overline 3[/tex] m/s²
The acceleration = 3.[tex]\overline 3[/tex] m/s²
Problem 3 -
The mass of the object, m = 2.0 kg
The force (applied) with which it was hit, F = 5.0 N
The acceleration, a = Force/Mass = 5.0 N/(2.0 kg) = 2.5 m/s²
The acceleration = 2.5 m/s²
Problem 4-
The mass of the object, m = 3.0 kg
The acceleration, a, of the object = 2.5 m/s²
The force applied to it, F = Mass × Acceleration = 3.0 kg × 2.5 m/s² = 7.5 N
The force applied = 7.5 N
Problem 5-
The acceleration, a, of the object = 12 m/s²
The force applied, F = 6.0 N
The mass of the object, m = Force/Acceleration = 6.0 N/(12 m/s²) = 0.5 kg
The mass of the object, = 0.5 kg.

A motorbike reaches a speed of 20 m/s over 60m, whilst
accelerating at 3m/s?, determine the bike's initial speed.
Initial speed = 2√10 m/s
Further explanationLinear motion consists of 2: constant velocity motion with constant velocity and uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration
An equation of uniformly accelerated motion
V = vo + at
Vt² = vo² + 2a (x-xo)
x = distance on t
vo / vi = initial speed
vt / vf = speed on t / final speed
a = acceleration
vf=20 m/s
d = 60 m
a = 3 m/s²
[tex]\tt vf^2=vi^2+2.ad\\\\20^2=vi^2+2\times 3\times 60\\\\400=vi^2+360\\\\40=vi^2\\\\vi=\sqrt{40}=2\sqrt{10}~m/s[/tex]
Old thermometers contained very small amounts of mercury. The mercury in the photo has a melting point of −38.8 °C. What can you conclude about the melting point of the mercury in old thermometers?
A. Its melting point can only be determined when the mercury is burned.
B. Its melting point changes as the mercury’s temperature changes.
C. Its melting point equals −38.8 °C because it is mercury.
D. Its melting point is less than −38.8 °C because its volume is smaller.
Answer:
C. Its melting point equals −38.8 °C because it is mercury.
Explanation:
Given that the old thermometer contained a very small amount of mercury and the melting point of mercury is [tex]-30^{\circ}C[/tex].
The temperature at which any material starts changing from the solid-state to the liquid-state is known as the melting point of the material.
As the melting point of any material does not depends on the amount of material. So, whether there is a small amount of mercury or is a large amount of mercury.
Hence, the melting point remains [tex]-30^{\circ}C[/tex] because it is mercury.
So, option (C) is correct.
As per the definition above, there is no need to burn the mercury to determine the melting point, so option (A) is wrong.
The melting point does not depend on the initial temperature, mass, volume of the material, so options (B) and (D) are wrong.
How long would it take Jesse with an acceleration of -2.50 m/s2 to bring his bicycle with an initial velocity of 13.5 m/s to a complete stop?
Answer: 5.4 seconds
Explanation:
The time taken to stop the bicycle is 5.4 seconds. The final velocity is zero. Then, the distance travelled by the bicycle is 36.45 m.
What is acceleration ?Acceleration is a physical quantity that, measures the rate of change in velocity. It is a vector quantity thus having both magnitude and direction. It can be defines as the ratio of change in velocity to the change in time.
Given initial velocity = 13.5 m/s
final velocity is zero since the bicycle is stopping.
then Δt = Δv/a
Δt = 13.5 m/s/ 2.50 m/s² = 5.4 seconds.
Hence, the bicycle will take 5.4 s to complete stop.
The distance covered within this time can be determined using the equation as follows:
s = ut + 1/2 at²
where u is the initial velocity
s = (13 m/s × 5.4 s) + (-2.50 m/s² ×5.4 s ×5.4 s) = 36.4 m.
Therefore, the bicycle will travel up to 36.4 m before stopping.
