Abdou was explaining to a classmate that graphite is a good lubricant

1 answer:

3 0

The fact that the layers of graphite are held together by only weak Van der Walls forces implies that they can slide over each other.

<h3>Why is graphite a solid lubricant?</h3>

We know that graphite is composed of layers. These hexagonal layers are held together by weak Van Der Walls forces and as such are able to slide over each other. The carbon atom in each layer are held together by strong covalent bonds.

The fact that the layers of graphite are held together by only weak Van der Walls forces implies that they can slide over each other and as such make the graphite fluid.

Thus, the image that shows these layers of graphite is attached to this an answer

Hello!

Montano1993 [528]

It is true that the light is 15.000 more dangerous than the radiation of a microwave.

<h3>What is the wavelength?</h3>

The wavelength shows the extent or how far the wave travels. Now we know that the energy of the wave can be use to find out how much dangerous the wave is.

Now;

1.6 * 10^-19 J = 1eV

x J = 1.8 eV

x = 1.8 eV * 1.6 * 10^-19 J /1eV

x = 2.88 * 10^-19 J

Now if the energy of the microwaves is 1.2 x 10^-4 J, then it follows that;

2.88 * 10^-19 J/ 1.2 x 10^-4 J,

= 2.4 * 10^15

Hence, it is true that the light is 15.000 more dangerous than the radiation of a microwave.

A car is designed to get its energy from a rotating

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

(a). The kinetic energy stored in the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 1.50 m

Mass = 475 kg

Power $P= 15.0 hp = 15.0\times746=11190 watt$

Rotational speed = 4000 rev/min

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

$I=\dfrac{1}{2}mr^2$

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{1}{2}\times475\times(1.50)^2$

$I=534.375\ kg m^2$

(a). We need to calculate the kinetic energy stored in the fly wheel

Using formula of K.E

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times534.375\times(4000\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60})^2$

$K.E=46880620.9\ J$

$K.E =46.88\times10^{6}\ J$

$K.E =46.88\ MJ$

(b). We need to calculate the length of time the car could run before the flywheel would have to be brought backup to speed

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{46.88\times10^{6}}{11190}$

$t=4189.45\ sec$

$t=1.163\ hours$

Hence, (a). The kinetic energy stored in the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.

Difference between weightlessness in space and weightlessness in earth

nadya68 [22]

In space we feel weightlessness because the earths gravity has less effect on us.The Earths gravitational attraction at those altitudes is only about 11% less than it is at the Earths surface. If you had a ladder that could reach as high as the the shuttles orbit, your weight would be 11% less at the top.

When you take your 1900-kg car out for a spin, you go around a corner of radius 55 m with a speed of 15 m/s. The coefficient of

pentagon [3]

Answer:

7772.72N

Explanation:

When u draw your FBD, you realize you have 3 forces (ignore the force the car produces), gravity, normal force and static friction. You also realize that gravity and normal force are in our out of the page (drawn with a frame of reference above the car). So that leaves you with static friction in the centripetal direction.

Now which direction is the static friction, assume that it is pointing inward so

Fc=Fs=mv²/r=1900*15²/55=427500/55=7772.72N

Since the car is not skidding we do not have kinetic friction so there can only be static friction. One reason we do not use μFn is because that is the formula for maximum static friction, and the problem does not state there is maximum static friction.
