Question

Explain how ice floats on water?

Answer 1

Water shows anomalous behavior, it is the only liquid that expands on cooling. Since it expands when it turns to ice, its density lowers as density is inversely proportional to volume. Therefore, ice floats on water.
Plz mark as brainliest :D

Answer 2

hii,

reason:
--Ice floats on water because density of ice is less than water.
--In common language we can say ice floats on water because it is lighter than water.

explanation:
--Any solid when place in a liquid buoyancy force that is equal to the weight of volume of liquid displaced by it.
--An object with density less than that of the liquid is able to displace volume of water that is less than volume of the object.
--AS a result such object floats on the liquid. A solid, which has higher density than the liquid, displaces volume of liquid which is equal to the volume of the solid.
--But the buoyancy force exerted on the solid by this is less than the downward gravitational force acting on the solid because of its weight. --As a result the solid sinks to the bottom.
-- A solid with density exactly equal to the liquid will be able to remain suspended any where within the liquid, without rising to the top of the liquid or sinking to the bottom.

i hope it helps u !!☺☺
