Why are diamonds so good at cutting things answers?

2 answers:

4 0

Diamonds are so good at cutting things, because they are very hard minerals. They can cut other minerals, but other minerals can’t cut them. Out of all the different kinds of minerals on the Mohs’ hardness scale, diamonds rank right at the top, at the hardness of 10. That means, that they are the hardest out of all of the other minerals. The higher the number, the harder it is to be cut.

How much time does it take light from a flash camera to reach a subject 6.0 meters across a room in scientific notation?

wariber [46]

The time it takes light from a flash camera to reach a subject 6.0 meters across a room in scientific notation is 2.0 *10^-8 s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given</u>

t=?

d=6m

v=3*10^8 m/s

we have, v=d/t

here t=d/v

t=6m/3*10^8 m/s

v=2*10^-8 m/s

The time it takes light from a flash camera to reach a subject 6.0 meters across a room in scientific notation is 2.0 *10^-8 s.

You serve a volleyball with a mass of 1.4 kg. The ball leaves with a speed of 13 m/s. Calculate KE

NemiM [27]

Answer:

118.3 J

Explanation:

Givens:

m = 1.4 kg

V = 13 m/s

Formula for kinetic energy:

KE = (1/2)*(m)*(v)^2

KE = .5*(1.4 kg)*(13 m/s)^2

KE 118.3 J

J = Joules

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D) Standing wave

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Standing wave also called stationary wave is a wave which oscillates in time but whose peak amplitude profile does not move in space.
A standing wave pattern is a vibrational pattern created within a medium when the vibrational frequency of the source causes reflected waves from one end of the medium to interfere with incident waves from the source.
Examples of standing waves include the vibration of a violin string and electron orbitals in an atom.

An ocean thermal energy conversion system is being proposed for electric power generation. Such a system is based on the standar

defon

Answer:

Explanation:

Dear Student, this question is incomplete, and to attempt this question, we have attached the complete copy of the question in the image below. Please, Kindly refer to it when going through the solution to the question.

To objective is to find the:

(i) required heat exchanger area.

(ii) flow rate to be maintained in the evaporator.

Given that:

water temperature = 300 K

At a reasonable depth, the water is cold and its temperature = 280 K

The power output W = 2 MW

Efficiency $\zeta$ = 3%

where;

$\zeta = \dfrac{W_{out}}{Q_{supplied }}$

$Q_{supplied } = \dfrac{2}{0.03} \ MW$

$Q_{supplied } = 66.66 \ MW$

However, from the evaporator, the heat transfer Q can be determined by using the formula:

Q = UA(L MTD)

where;

$LMTD = \dfrac{\Delta T_1 - \Delta T_2}{In (\dfrac{\Delta T_1}{\Delta T_2} )}$

Also;

$\Delta T_1 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 300 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_1 = 10 \ K$

$\Delta T_2 = T_{h_{in}}- T_{c_{out}} \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 292 -290 \\ \\ \Delta T_2 = 2\ K$

$LMTD = \dfrac{10 -2}{In (\dfrac{10}{2} )}$

$LMTD = \dfrac{8}{In (5)}$

LMTD = 4.97

Thus, the required heat exchanger area A is calculated by using the formula:

$Q_H = UA (LMTD)$

where;

U = overall heat coefficient given as 1200 W/m².K

$66.667 \times 10^6 = 1200 \times A \times 4.97 \\ \\ A= \dfrac{66.667 \times 10^6}{1200 \times 4.97} \\ \\ \mathbf{A = 11178.236 \ m^2}$

The mass flow rate:

$Q_{H} = mC_p(T_{in} -T_{out} ) \\ \\ 66.667 \times 10^6= m \times 4.18 (300 -292) \\ \\ m = \dfrac{ 66.667 \times 10^6}{4.18 \times 8} \\ \\ \mathbf{m = 1993630.383 \ kg/s}$

What are three physical properties of gases

NikAS [45]

Answer: Gases have three characteristic properties: (1) they are easy to compress, (2) they expand to fill their containers, and (3) they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form. An internal combustion engine provides a good example of the ease with which gases can be compressed.
