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 62.00-cm guitar string under a tension of 70.000 N has a mass per unit length of 0.10000 g/cm. What is the highest resonant fr
quester [9]

Answer:

17,947.02 Hz

Explanation:

length (L) = 62 cm = 0.62 m

tension (T) = 70 N

mass per unit length (μ) = 0.10000 g/cm = 0.010000 kg/m

maximum frequency = 18,000 Hz

f = \frac{n}{2L} x \sqrt{\frac{T}{μ}}

f = \frac{n}{2 x 0.62} x \sqrt{\frac{70}{0.01} }

f = n x 67.47

18,000 = n x 67.47

n = 266.8≈ 266

the 267th overtone is the highest overtone that can be heard by this person, and its frequency would be 26 x 67.47 = 17,947.02 Hz

Calculate the amount of momentum of an object with a mass of 10 kg travelling al a
irina [24]

Answer:

50kg.m/s

Explanation:

In order to find momentum you must use the formula P=mv

p= momentum

m=mass

v= velocity

so in other words, momentum= mass times velocity

or in this case, momentum= 10 times 5  :)

I need it in the next hour or so!
PSYCHO15rus [73]

The car is accelerating at 3 m/s² in the positive direction (to the right). By Newton's second law, the net force on the car in this direction is

∑ F = F[a] - F[f] - F[air] = ma

3100 N - 200 N - F[air] = (650 kg) (3 m/s²)

Solve for F[air] :

F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - (650 kg) (3 m/s²)

F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - 1950 N

F[air] = 950 N

When a sinusoidal wave with speed 20 m/s , wavelength 35 cm and amplitude of 1.0 cm passes, what is the maximum speed of a point
vova2212 [387]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to frequency as a function of speed and wavelength as well as the kinematic equations of simple harmonic motion

From the definition we know that the frequency can be expressed as

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

Where,

v = Velocity \rightarrow 20m/s

\lambda = Wavelength \rightarrow 35*10^{-2}m

Therefore the frequency would be given as

f = \frac{20}{35*10^{-2}}

f = 57.14Hz

The frequency is directly proportional to the angular velocity therefore

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi *57.14

\omega = 359.03rad/s

Now the maximum speed from the simple harmonic movement is given by

V_{max} = A\omega

Where

A = Amplitude

Then replacing,

V_{max} = (1*10^{-2})(359.03)

V_{max} = 3.59m/s

Therefore the maximum speed of a point on the string is 3.59m/s
