Answer:

It reduces the melting point due to a defect in the arrangement of the crystal lattice.

Explanation:

The presence of impurities creates a disorderliness in the uniformity of the crystal structure. It lowers the melting point by a few degrees because it becomes easier to overcome the intermolecular force of attraction.

It makes the array of crystals disordered.

Lattice is a long chain three-dimensional arrangement of the molecules, atoms or ions in a crystal structure.

It is 5.0 km from your home to the physics lab. As part of your physical fitness program, you could run that distance at 10 km/h

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Walking burns up more energy,1740000J

Explanation:

Given that the displacement is 5.0km, and running at 10km/h and uses, walking at 3km/hr and uses 290watts:

Energy consumption for running is calculated as:

$700watts=700j/s,d=5000m,v=\frac{25}{9}m/s\\\\\therefore E_c=\frac{d}{v}\times Energy \ usage\\\\=\frac{5000}{\frac{25}{9}}\times 700j/s\\\\=1260000J$

Energy consumption for walking is calculated as:

$290watts=290j/s,d=5000m,v=\frac{5}{6}m/s\\\\\therefore E_c=\frac{d}{v}\times Energy \ usage\\\\=\frac{5000}{\frac{5}{6}}\times 290j/s\\\\=1740000J$

Walking is a slower process hence the need for more energy over longer periods raltive to running the same distance.

Hence walking burns more energy; 1,740,000J. It burns more because you walk for a greater period of time.

Can someone please help me and write the answers? i need this and it’s really important!!

-- Kinetic energy is the energy of mass in motion. The amount is determined by the mass of whatever is moving, and its speed.

-- Potential energy is the energy that's stored up in some form, not being used yet but ready to be used when you want it.

For example, one form of it is chemical potential energy, like in a battery, or a match. You get the energy out of a battery when you connect it to a motor or a light. You get the energy out of as match when you make the tip hot and it flares up.

This question is asking about gravitational potential energy. An object has stored energy just by being up high, like a bowling ball on a shelf. You get the energy out of it just by dropping it ... possibly enough to crack the floor !

The amount of this kind of potential energy is determined by the mass of the object, and how high up it is.

-- Getting the answers from other people doesn't help you a bit, until you understand them and can answer the question on your own.

A newly discovered planet has the same mass as the Earth, but a person standing on the surface of the planet experiences a force

Dafna11 [192]

This question deals with the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of two planets, that is Earth and on the surface of another planet are compared to find out the relation between the radii of both planets, provided their masses are the same.

The correct option for the radius of the new planet is "Option 3: Square Root of 3 R"

The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a planet is given by the following formula:

$g = \frac{GM}{R^2}$ ----------- eqn(1)

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on Earth

G = Universal Gravitational Constant

M = mass of the Earth

R = Radius of the Earth

Now, the same formula for the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the other planet can be written as follows:

$g' = \frac{GM'}{R'}\\\\$ ------------- eqn(2)

where,

g' = acceleration due to gravity on the new planet

G = Universal Gravitational Constant

M' = mass of the new planet

R' = Radius of the new planet

According to the given condition, the new planet has the same mass as the Earth's mass but the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the new planet is one-third of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth.

$M'=M\\\\g'=\frac{1}{3}g$

using eqn (1) and eqn (2):

$\frac{GM}{R'^2}=\frac{1}{3}\frac{GM}{R^2}\\\\R'^2=3R^2\\\\R' = \sqrt{3}R$

Hence, the radius of the new planet is found to be equal to the square root of 3 times the radius of the Earth (Square Root of 3 R).

The electrical system that provides power to your school has two major parts: The transmission line which sends power to your lo

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Because of the resistance of transmission lines, high current along the line leads to large voltage drop. This voltage drop causes low efficiency because the voltage at the receiving end is far less than that at the sending end.

Therefore there is need to transmit at a higher voltage (smaller current) than that required by distribution because of efficiency.

Hence, For safety and efficiency, the voltage must be large in the transmission lines and small in the distribution lines.
