A, Because it is lighter than Iron

Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago

Answer: stronger than iron

Explanation: Steel is an alloy of iron mixed with small quantities of carbon.  Iron being a pure metal is soft as the atoms can slip over one another due to the presence of free electrons.

Addition of carbon to iron, makes the iron hard as the carbon hinders the movement of atoms past one another. The tensile strength or resistance to break under applied force for steel gets more as compared to iron.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

0.3659

Explanation:

The power (p) is given as:

P = AeσT⁴

where,

A =Area

e = transmittivity

σ = Stefan-boltzmann constant

T = Temperature

since both the bulbs radiate same power

P₁ = P₂

Where, 1 denotes the bulb 1

2 denotes the bulb 2

thus,

A₁e₁σT₁⁴ = A₂e₂σT₂⁴

Now e₁=e₂

⇒A₁T₁⁴ = A₂T₂⁴

or

\frac{A_1}{A_2} =\frac{T_{2}^{4}}{T_{1}^{4}}

substituting the values in the above question we get

\frac{A_1}{A_2} =\frac{2100_{2}^{4}}{2700_{1}^{4}}

or

\frac{A_1}{A_2} }=0.3659

Consider a situation in which you are moving two point charges such that the potential energy between them decreases. (NOTE: ign
Oxana [17]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The potential energy decreases in the case when the charges are opposite and they attract each other.

In this case there is no external energy required in order to put the charges together.

This is so because the charges are opposite and they will attract each other. Yes, the only condition should be that the charges should be alike.

Example: a negative charge and a positive charge.

A boat crosses a 200m wide river at 3m/s, north relative to water. The river flows at 1m/s as shown. What is the velocity of the
Xelga [282]

Answer:

The resultant velocity = 3.16 m/s

Explanation:

Since the boat is moving North of the direction of the riverflow, the river would either be flowing westward or Eastward. The two motions form a right angle triangle with the resultant velocity being the hypotenuse of the traingle.

The resultant velocity will be given as ;

R² = B² + r²

Where B is the velocity of the boat and r is the velocity of the river

R² = 3² + 1²

R² = 10

R = √10 = 3.16 m/s

Therefore, the resultant velocity = 3.16 m/s

A boy is pulling a 150 kg crate with a force of 1150 N. If the crate experiences a frictional force of 490 N, find:
valentina_108 [34]
<h3><u>For the aceleration:</u></h3>

First, let's find the resultant, and <u>applicate 2nd law of Newton</u> using the resultant, so:

R = ma

F - Ff = ma

Data:

F = Force = 1150 N

Ff = Friction force = 490 N

m = Mass = 150 kg

a = Aceleraction = ?

Replacing according our data:

1150 N - 490 N = 150 kg * a

660 N = 150 kg * a

660 N / 150 kg = a

a = 4,4 m/s²   ← Aceleration of the object

<h3><u>For the normal force:</u></h3>

The normal force IS NOT the resultant force, the normal force's the force between the ground and the object, in another words, is the weight of the object, and for the weight:

w = mg

w = 150 kg * 10 m/s²

w = 1500 N   ← Normal force between object and ground.
