this problem occurs in petroleum firefighting when fire streams are applied to the burning liquid surface at such an angle that

hot and / or burning oil is forced over the edge of the tank. the oil then flows down the side of the tank and you are now confronted with a fire on the ground as well as the one in the tank. this best defines which problem?

Petroleum has less density than water. So, when fire streams are applied to the burning liquid surface at such an angle that hot and / or burning oil is forced over the edge of the tank, the oil then flows down the side of the tank and you are now confronted with a fire on the ground as well as the one in the tank.

<h3>What are the reasons not to use fire streams during deal with  burning oil?</h3>

When you spray water on a regular fire, you're attempting to lower the flame's temperature and contain the fire.

Fuel for an oil fire is oil. Temperature and oxidizer are present in a fire (oxygen). Due to the fact that oil is lighter than water, an explosion may result if it floats above water while water sinks beneath oil.

Consequently, water shouldn't be used to put out oil fires.

A 4 kg bowling ball rolls at a speed of 5 m/s on the roof of a building that is 30 meters tall. What is its kinetic energy?
klasskru [66]

ans: B

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

= \frac{1}{2} (4)(5^{2} )

= 50J

ps. the height will only affect its potential energy, not kinetic.

A 30 kg mass and a 20 kg mass are joined by a light rigid rod and this system is free to rotate in the plane of the page about a
stepan [7]

55 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given as: 0.5MV^2 where M is the mass and V is the speed of rotation. Since the masses are point masses, we calculate the point mass for each mass.

M1 = 30*0.2^2 = 1.2kgm^2

M2 = 20*0.4^2 = 3.2kgm^2

V = 5 rad/s

Calculating using the formula above, we obtain :

0.5(1.2+3.2)5^2 =0.5*4.4*25 = 55 J

A 0.10 kg baseball travelling at 40 m s−1 hits straight back to the pitcher at 55 m s−1. The contact time is 0.01 seconds. What
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

1.5 kgms⁻¹

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as "<em>mass in motion</em>."  

The amount of momentum that an object has is dependent upon two factors

  • mass of the moving object  
  • speed of motiom 

when there is a change in the velocity , it creates a change in momentum also

when we consider that we can mathematically show this,In terms of an equation,

Change in momentum    (ΔΡ) = m(Δv)

where (Δv) - change in velocity

<em>(Δv) = final velocity - initial velocity</em>

Change in momentum (ΔΡ) = m(Δv)

                                             = 0.1×([55-40])

                                             = 1.5 kgms⁻¹
