A pressure cooker is a pot whose lid can be tightly sealed to prevent gas from entering or escaping. even without knowing how bi

g the pressure cooker is, or what altitude it is being used at, we can make predictions about how much force the lid will experience under different conditions.

Even without knowing the size of the pressure cooker or the altitude at which the pressure cooker will be used, we can easily determine the force on the lid by experience because just as boiling water, the amount of pressure inside the vessel (in this case, the cooker) increases as the temperature increases.

10 kg mass sliding along a horizontal rough surface at speed 30 m/s and rests in 6 seconds. what is the coefficient of friction
Aleks [24]

The coefficient of friction is 0.5.

<h3>What is Coefficient of friction?</h3>

The ratio of friction force to normal force is known as the coefficient of friction (COF), which has no dimensions. Those materials are said to as lubricous if their COF is less than 0.1. Surface roughness and COF are dependent on the composition of the materials.

Initial velocity, u=30m/s

time taken = 6s

Final velocity, v=0

Acceleration of friction, a=μg=10μms⁻²

Apply first kinematic equation of motion,

v - u = at

0 - 30 = (-10μms⁻²) × 6

-30 = -60μ

μ = 1/2

μ = 0..5  

Hence, coefficient of friction is 0.5

Use this scenario to answer the four following questions. A person is on a sled on top of a snow covered hill. The vertical dist
jekas [21]

Answer:7086 J

Explanation:

Given

height of hill from ground(h)=12 m

combined mass of sled and man(m)=60 kg

initial velocity(u)=1 m/s

at bottom velocity(v)=10 m/s

Total mechanical energy of the person

E=Potential Energy+Kinetic Energy

E=mgh+\frac{mv^2}{2}

E=60\times 9.8\times 12+\frac{60\times 1^2}{2}

E=7056+30=7086 J

in your own words provide two advantages of using meters as a measurement of length rather than old measurements of length such
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

First, the meters is the unit used in almost all the world today.

Then using meters as your unit will be easier to read and interpret for a larger number of people than if you use an older system, like hands or steps.

And because of the fact that almost all the world uses the meter as the unit for length, almost all the equations and formulas are written in meters.

Precision: The meter is exactly defined as:

"The length of the path traveled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second"

So the meter is an exact (and accepted) unit.

Then using this unit for measures of length also provides some " legitimacy" for you measure.

13. Describe the molecules of a solid in terms of kinetic energy.
Y_Kistochka [10]
The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: ... Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
