    Density
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the average distance between molecules in ice at 0 degrees Celsius, given the density of ice (0.92 g/cm³) and the molecular mass of water (18 g/mol). Participants suggest visualizing a cubic centimeter of ice divided into smaller cubes to conceptualize the spacing between molecules. There is an emphasis on using logical reasoning rather than a specific formula to arrive at the answer. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding molecular arrangement in solids like ice. Ultimately, the focus is on applying deductive reasoning to estimate molecular distances.

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE DISTANCE OF MOLECULES IN ICE AT 0 DEGREES?

DENSITY OF ICE = 0.92 AND MOLECULAR MASS OF H20 WATER IS 18g/cm^3

please i don't don't why first yer physics formula to use and how to answer?

Just think about a cm^3 of water and think of it as divided into cubes, each cube representing the distance from one molecule to another. There really is no formula you can use, just logical deduction.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
