Diamond and graphite are both composed entirely of carbon yet graphite is soft and diamond is one of the hardest substances know

n. Explain the difference between these substances in terms of intermolecular forces.

Explanation:

This difference is because of the difference in arrangement of carbon atoms both graphite and Diamond.

Carbon atoms in graphite are arranged in layered form in an infinite array of layers. These layers are held together by a weaker force of attraction called vander waal's force of attraction such that layer's can slip over one another. Whereas in diamond carbon atoms are arranged tetrahedrally. Each carbon atom is attached to four carbon atoms with a bond angle of 109.5°. It is strong rigid three dimensional structure that results in infinite array atoms. This accounts for hardness of the diamond.

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

a. The station is rotating at 1.496 \frac{rev}{min}

b. the rotation needed is 2.8502 \frac{rev}{min}

Explanation:

We know that the centripetal acceleration is

a_{c}= \omega ^2 r

where \omega is the rotational speed and r is the radius. As the centripetal acceleration is feel like an centrifugal acceleration in the rotating frame of reference (be careful, as the rotating frame of reference is <u>NOT INERTIAL,</u> the centrifugal force is a fictitious force, the real force is the centripetal).

<h3>a. </h3>

The rotational speed  is :

2.7 \frac{m}{s^2} = \omega ^2 * 110  \ m

\omega ^2 = \frac{2.7 \frac{m}{s^2}} {110 \ m}

\omega  = \sqrt{ 0.02454 \frac{rad^2}{s^2} }

\omega  = 0.1567 \frac{rad}{s}

Knowing that there are 2\pi \ rad in a revolution and 60 seconds in a minute.

\omega  = 0.1567 \frac{rad}{s}  \frac{1 \ rev}{2\pi \ rad} \frac{60 \ s}{1 \ min}

\omega  = 1.496 \frac{rev}{min}

<h3>b. </h3>

The rotational speed needed is :

9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} = \omega ^2 * 110  \ m

\omega ^2 = \frac{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}} {110 \ m}

\omega  = \sqrt{ 0.08909 \frac{rad^2}{s^2} }

\omega  = 0.2985 \frac{rad}{s}

Knowing that there are 2\pi \ rad in a revolution and 60 seconds in a minute.

\omega  = 0.2985 \frac{rev}{min}  \frac{1 \ rev}{2\pi \ rad} \frac{60 \ s}{1 \ min}

\omega  = 2.8502 \frac{rev}{min}

Which of the following is true of education in 1950
Maksim231197 [3]
Information I learned from history class Education in the 1950's expanded from previous decades. They no longer focused purely on reading, writing and arithmetic. History and science became a main part of the cirriculum. Also, enrollment skyrocketed as the baby-boomers began enrolling in elementary school. One interesting thing that categorized this generation was the presence of fallout tests. Schools would require the students to go through a fake atomic bomb attack in which they would hide under their desks (which was completely pointless in protecting them from radiation, it was more of an emotional security for the parents and teachers, but scared the hell out of the students). Socially, children were taught to conform and to be normal. Standing out or questioning authority was bad. Sex was taught, though minimally. They explained the penis and vagina. Sexually transmitted diseases were focused on greatly so as to "scare" the students out of premarital sex.

The magnitude of the force associated with the gravitational field is constant and has a value FF . A particle is launched from
uysha [10]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the particle will be 12U₀

Explanation:

Given that,

A particle is launched from point B with an initial velocity and reaches point A having gained U₀ joules of kinetic energy.

Constant force = 12F

According to question,

The kinetic energy is

U_{0}=Fx....(I)

Constant force = 12F

A resistive force field is now set up ,

Resistive force is given by,

F_{r}=12F

When the particle moves from point B to point A then,

We need to calculate the kinetic energy

Using formula for kinetic energy

U=F_{r}x

Put the value of F_{r}

U=12Fx

Now, from equation (I)

U=12U_{0}

Hence, The kinetic energy of the particle will be 12U₀.

True or False: The energy increase of an object acted on only by a gravitational force is equal to the product of the object's w
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The statement shown in the question above is false and this can be confirmed by Newton's law on universal gravitation. According to Newton, the gravitational force exerted on any body is proportional to its weight, but the distance that the object travels when falling is disproportionate. In addition, if the force resulting from the weight of the object and its displacement has an angle of 0º, the weight force of that object will provide an increase in kinetic energy.
