Answer: (i) F = 2

(ii) F = 3

(iii) F = 2

Explanation:

We would be applying the famous Gibbs Phase Rule to explaining this problem;

By applying the formula;

F+P = C +2

Where P = this represent the phase

F = this is called the degree of freedom

C = this represent the component in the system

Ok let us begin;

(i). from this we can see that there are 2 components i.e. (water + ethanol) and the phase in question is a vapor phase + liquid phase.

So from the formula;

F = C-P+2

F = 2 – 2 + 2 = 2

Therefore, F = 2.

(ii). Also, from the statement, we can figure there are 3 components, while the phases are two like the previous one above, i.e. liquid + vapor

F = 3 – 2 + 2 = 5 – 2 = 3

F = 3

(iii). From this statement, we can figure there are 3 components, and the phases are 3 i.e. (2 liquid phases + 1 vapor phase)

From the formula;

F = 3 – 3 + 2 = 0 + 2

F = 2

The 500kg concrete culvert has a mean radius of 0.5m. part a if the truck has an acceleration of 3m/s2, determine the culvert's
jarptica [38.1K]

<u>Given: </u>

Radius of culvert, r = 0.5 m

Tangential acceleration of the truck, a = 3 m/s2

<u>To determine:</u>

The angular acceleration, α

<u>Explanation:</u>

The tangential acceleration is related to the angular acceleration through the radius as:

a = rα

α = a/r = 3 ms⁻²/0.5 m = 6 s⁻²

Ans: The angular acceleration is 6 s⁻²

Charles's law is an experimental gas law that shows the relationship between the temperature of a gas and its corresponding volu
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is (b)

Explanation:

Charles law describes the behavior of gases when heated. Charles law states that the volume of a given mass of gas would increase as its Kelvin temperature increases provided the pressure is held constant. That is the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature at constant pressure

The principal that states that an object at rest will stay at rest and that an object in motion will stay in motion is the law o
Bogdan [553]

Answer: <em>Newton's first law</em>

Explanation: <em>The idea that objects only change their velocity due to a force is encapsulated in Newton's first law. Newton's first law: An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.</em>
