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.

If the mass of an object is 176 and Net force is 50, what would be the Acceleration?
pochemuha

Answer:

0.28m/s²

Explanation:

Force = mass•acceleration

F = m•a

50 = 176•a Divide both sides by 176:

50/176 = a ≈ 0.28 m/s²

Electricity The power P, in watts, that a circular solar cell produces and radius of the cell in centimeters are related by the
gavmur [86]

Answer:

9.05 W

Explanation:

The given formula is r=\sqrt {\frac {P}{0.02\pi}} where r is in centimeters and P is in Watts

Making Power, P the subject from the above formula

P=0.02\pi r^{2}

Substituting r with 12 cm then

P=0.02\pi 12^{2}=&#10;9.047786842  W\approx 9.05 W

If it has enough kinetic energy, a molecule at the surface of the Earth can "escape the Earth's gravitation", in the sense that
user100 [1]

Answer:

K_E=mgr_E

Explanation:

By conservation of energy, the sum of the kinetic and gravitational potential energies at the surface of the Earth must be equal than their sum at infinity, so we have:

K_E+U_E=K_\infty+U_\infty

\frac{mv_E^2}{2}-\frac{GM_Em}{r_E}=\frac{mv_\infty^2}{2}-\frac{GM_Em}{r_\infty}

Where G=6.67\times10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2 is the gravitational constant,M_E=5.97\times10^{24}kg and r_E=6371000m are the mass and radius of the Earth, <em>m </em>is the mass of the particle, v_E its velocity at the surface of the Earth (which would be its escape velocity) and v_\infty and r_\infty are the velocities and distance at infinity, which would be null and infinity respectively, so the right hand side of our equation is 0J, which leaves us with:

\frac{GM_Em}{r_E}=\frac{mv_E^2}{2}=K_E

Also, since the force the molecule experiments is the force of gravity (disregarding drag), we can write its weight in terms of Newton's Law of Gravitation:

F=mg=\frac{GM_Em}{r_E^2}

Which means that:

\frac{GM_Em}{r_E}=mgr_E

So finally putting all together we can write:

K_E=\frac{GM_Em}{r_E}=mgr_E
