<span>Germanium To determine which melts first, convert their melting temperatures so they're both expressed on same scale. It doesn't matter what scale you use, Kelvin, Celsius, of Fahrenheit. Just as long as it's the same scale for everything. Since we already have one substance expressed in Kelvin and since it's easy to convert from Celsius to Kelvin, I'll use Kelvin. So convert the melting point from Celsius to Kelvin for Gold by adding 273.15 1064 + 273.15 = 1337.15 K So Germanium melts at 1210K and Gold melts at 1337.15K. Germanium has the lower melting point, so it melts first.</span>

2200 kg semi truck driving down the highway has lost control. The truck rolls across the median and into oncoming traffic. The t
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

Explanation:

In this exercise we see a case of an entirely inellastic collision between the semi truck and the car, which can be described by the following equation derived from Principle of Linear Momentum Conservation: (We assume that velocity oriented northwards is positive)

m_{S}\cdot v_{S}+m_{C}\cdot v_{C} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v (1)

Where:

m_{S}, m_{C} - Masses of the semi truck and the car, measured in kilograms.

v_{S}, v_{C} - Initial velocities of the semi truck and the car, measured in meters per second.

v - Final speed of the system after collision, measured in meters per second.

If we know that m_{S} = 2200\,kg, m_{C} = 2000\,kg, v_{C} = 45\,\frac{m}{s} and v = -15\,\frac{m}{s}, then the initial velocity of the semi truck is:

m_{S}\cdot v_{S} = (m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v -m_{C}\cdot v_{C}

v_{S} = \frac{(m_{S}+m_{C})\cdot v - m_{C}\cdot v_{C}}{m_{S}}

v_{S} = \left(1+\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \right)\cdot v - \frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}} \cdot v_{C}

v_{S} = v +\frac{m_{C}}{m_{S}}\cdot (v-v_{C})

v_{S} = -15\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(\frac{2000\,kg}{2200\,kg} \right) \cdot \left(-15\,\frac{m}{s}-45\,\frac{m}{s}  \right)

v_{S} = -69.545\,\frac{m}{s}  

The semi truck travels at an initial speed of 69.545 meters per second downwards.

A plane has an airspeed of 142 m/s. A 30.0 m/s wind is blowing southward at the same time as the plane is flying. What must be t
const2013 [10]

Answer:

\theta=12.19^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that

The speed of the airplane ,v= 142 m/s

The speed of the air ,u = 30 m/s

Lets take angle make by airplane from east direction towards north direction is θ .

Now by using diagram ,we can say that

sin\theta =\dfrac{u}{v}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

sin\theta =\dfrac{30}{142}

sin\theta=0.21

\theta=12.19^{\circ}

Therefore the angle will be 12.19° .

Daily life examples of pressure of solids on solids?​
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Explanation:

There's a massive amount, just think of anything everyday. Like a table on the floor, or when your walking around and putting pressure on the floor. When you squeeze something which is solid. Anything like that will do.
