When a block of ice floating on water in a container melts what happens to the volume of water in the container it increases or decreases?
Strictly speaking, the volume of water will increase. For example, if you have a 200 gram chunk of ice floating in 1000 ml of water, the volume of the water itself is 1000 ml. When the ice melts, the volume of water will be 1200 ml.
However, if you're asking whether the water level in the container will go up or down, the answer is "neither." The ice displaces an amount of water equal to the mass of the ice. When the ice melts, the mass does not chance, so the amount of the original water displaced by the melted ice does not change. Hence, the water level will remain the same.

What happens to the pressure of the gas in the container?
The pressure of a gas in a container increases when the volume decreases, and decreases when the volume increases, following Boyle's Law. Additionally, the pressure of a gas increases with an increase in temperature, as per Gay-Lussac's Law.
What happens to atmospheric pressure as altitude increases?
As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.
As the wavelenght decreases what happens to the waves frequency?
As the wavelength decreases, the frequency of the waves increases. This is because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional - as one decreases, the other increases, according to the equation: speed = frequency x wavelength.
What happens to the wavelength when the frequency of a light wave increases?
When the frequency of a light wave increases, the wavelength decreases. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional in a wave, meaning as one increases, the other decreases.
What happens to the velocity as the height increases?
As height increases, the velocity generally decreases due to the effect of gravity. This is because potential energy increases while kinetic energy decreases, resulting in a slower velocity.
What happens to the pressure of the gas in the container?
The pressure of a gas in a container increases when the volume decreases, and decreases when the volume increases, following Boyle's Law. Additionally, the pressure of a gas increases with an increase in temperature, as per Gay-Lussac's Law.
What happens when the demand for a product decreases?
When demand decreases, supply increases.
What happens to the current as the resistance decreases?
it increases
As the frequency of a wave increases what happens to the wavelength?
As wavelength increases the frequency decreases.

It decreases[:
What happens to the fraction as the denominator increases?
the entire fraction decreases
What happens to air pressure when density decreases?
density decreases as air pressure increases
What happens to atmospheric pressure as altitude increases?
As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.
What happens to volume if mass stays the same then density decreases?
The mass either decreases or increases
What happens to the fraction as the denominator decreases?
The value of the fraction increases.
