Why do trains use steel wheels rather than rubber tires?                                                                 A) Stee

l wheels provide more grip, making it easier to stop a train.
B) Rubber tires don't provide enough friction to allow the train to move.
C) Steel wheels increase friction, thus making it easier to move the load.
D) Steel wheels reduce friction, thus requiring less force to move the load.

D) steel wheels reduce friction, thus requiring less force to move the load.  Friction between rubber and steel would be greater than steel and steel.  Friction creates heat, which represents a loss of energy (which has to come from somewhere else - likely from the kinetic energy of the train)

Objects P and Q are placed in a bowl of water. P floats and Q sinks. Which one or more of the following can be deduced from this
Lady bird [3.3K]

The correct option that can be deduced for both Object P and Q is Option b) I and II only

To solve this question correctly, we need to understand the concept of density and it relation to mass and volume.

<h3>What is Density?</h3>

Density is a physical property of an object and can be expressed by using the relation:

\mathbf{Density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}}

From the given parameters, we are being told that:

  • P → floats
  • Q → sinks

This implies that Q has a greater density that P. Since Q has a greater density than P, Q will be heavier since it will have greater mass.

However, Q will not be denser than water because if that happens, P will be have a greater density which is untrue in this scenario.

Therefore, we can conclude that:

  • 1. Q is heavier than P
  • II. 1cm³ of Q has a greater mass than 1cm³ of P

What is the term for hardening or curing the sealant or composite material by exposing the material to a curing light?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Photopolymerization is the term for hardening or curing the sealant or composite material by exposing the material to a curing light

Explanation:

It the process through which a photopolymer reacts to the radiations in presence of the Ultra-violet light. Photopolymers refers to those materials and liquid or the plastic resins that are hardened in presence of light source such as the lasers or the lamps. When these materials are irradiated, they undergo chemical reactions and they are hardened and become solid, and hence the process called photopolymerization. Photopolymerization is majorly used in the coating and printing industries and in also in dentistry to fill the top of teeth and prevent the cavities
