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

A ball starts from rest. It rolls down a ramp and reaches the ground after 4 seconds. Its final velocity when it reaches the gro
Hunter-Best [27]
If it starts at rest the initial velocity is 0.
For an acceleration, a, and time, t, the velocity is v=at. Since at t=4, v=7, then a=7/4=1.75m/s^2

A professor's office door is 0.91 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg; and pivots on frictionless hinges.
olasank [31]

Answer:

F= 5.71 N

Explanation:

width of door= 0.91 m

door closer torque on door= 5.2 Nm

In order to hold the door in open position we need to exert an equal and opposite torque, to the door closer torque, on the door.

so wee need to exert 5.2 Nm torque on the door.

If we want to apply minimum force to exert the required torque we need to apply force perpendicularly on the door knob (end of door) so that to to greater moment arm.

T= r x F

T= r F sin∅

F= T/ (r * sin∅)

F= 5.2/ (0.91 * 1)

F= 5.71 N

2. A 56N force is exerted on an 8kg object. What is the object's acceleration?
White raven [17]

acceleration = 7 m/s²

Explanation:

To determine the object's acceleration we use the following formula:

force (N) = mass (kg) × acceleration (m/s²)

acceleration (m/s²) = force (N) / mass (kg)

acceleration = 56 N / 8 kg

acceleration = 7 m/s²
