Ben franklin showed that 1 teaspoon of oil would cover about 0.50 acre of still water. if you know that 1.0 x 104m2 = 2.47 acres

, and that there are 5.0 cm3 in a teaspoon, what is the thickness (in cm) of a later of oil?

To solve for the thickness of the latter of oil, we can simply divide the volume by the total surface area:

Thickness = Volume / Surface Area

We are both given the volume and the surface area, all we have to do now is to convert the units in like terms so that we can cancel those out.

Surface Area = 0.50 acres (1.0 x 10^4 m^2 / 2.47 acres)

Surface Area = 2,024.29 m^2

Further converting this into cm:

Surface Area = 2,024.29 m^2 (100 cm / m)^2

Surface Area = 20,242,914.98 cm^2

 

Therefore the thickness is:

Thickness = 5.0 cm^3 / 20,242,914.98 cm^2

Thickness = 2.47 x 10^-7 cm

or

<span>Thickness = 2.47 x 10^-9 m = 2.47 nm = 24.7 A</span>

An astronaut is out in space with an extremely precise timing device measuring the speed of various fast‑moving objects. A laser
Leviafan [203]

Answer and Explanation:

with reference to Einstein's theory of special relativity, the speed of an electromagnetic radiation, here, laser will not change in any inertial frame or remains same irrespective of any change in inertial frame.

Therefore, the speed of light measured in both the cases, i.e., in astronaut's reference frame and spaceship's reference frame will be equal to the speed of light in vacuum, i.e., 3\times 10^{8} m/s.

The laser gun's speed in astronaut's reference frame is the same as the speed of the spaceship as it mounted on it, i.e., the speed of the laser gun is 200 million m/s.

The laser gun's speed measured in spaceship's reference frame will be zero, as it is mounted on the spaceship and is stationary in the spaceship's reference frame.

You're having a hard time pushing a refrigerator across the kitchen floor. The force of your own push is 993 N. The force of fri
Helen [10]

Answer:

The acceleration of the refrigerator is a= 0.056 ms^{-2}

Explanation:

The expression of the equation of the net force acting on the refrigerator is as follows;

F-f= ma

Here, F is the applied force, f is the force of friction, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

It is given in the problem that you're having a hard time pushing a refrigerator having mass 355 kg across the kitchen floor. The force of your own push is 993 N. The force of friction opposing your own push is 973 N.

Put F= 993, f= 973 N and m = 355 kg in the above expression of the equation to calculate the acceleration of the refrigerator.

993 - 973 = (355)a

20 = 355 a

a= 0.056 ms^{-2}

Therefore, the acceleration of the refrigerator is a= 0.056 ms^{-2}.

High voltage power is often carried in wire bundles made up of individual strands. In your initial post to the discussion, discu
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

<em>More current will be loss through the metal wire strands if the force on them was repulsive, and more stress will be induced on the wire strands due to internal and external flexing.</em>

<em />

Explanation:

A wire bundle is made up of wire strands bunched together to increase flexibility that is not always possible in a single solid metal wire conductor. In the strands of wire carrying a high voltage power, each strand carries a certain amount of current, and the current through the strands all travel in the same direction. <em>It is know that for two conductors or wire, separated by a certain distance, that carries current flowing through them in the same direction, an attractive force is produced on these wires, one on the other. This effect is due to the magnetic induction of a current carrying conductor.</em> The forces between these strands of the high voltage wire bundle, pulls the wire strands closer, creating more bond between these wire strands and reducing internal flex induced stresses.

If the case was the opposite, and the wires opposed themselves, the effect would be that a lot of cost will be expended in holding these wire strands together. Also, stress within the strands due to the repulsion, will couple with external stress from the flexing of the wire, resulting in the weakening of the material.

<em>The biggest problem will be that more current will be lost in the wire due to increased surface area caused by the repulsive forces opening spaces between the strand. This loss is a s a result of the 'skin effect' in wire transmission, in which current tends to flow close to the surface of the metal wire. The skin effect generates power loss as heat through the exposed surface area.</em>

Why does the layer of glass in a solar cell need an antireflective coating?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The Anti Reflective Coating on a solar cells helps to increase the amount of light absorbed into the cell. This anti reflective coating is very much needed as the reflection of a bare silicon solar cells is over 30%. For the thin AR Coating, silicon nitride or titanium oxide is used.
