Answer:
Alloy, metallic substance composed of two or more elements, as either a compound or a solution. The components of alloys are ordinarily themselves metals, though carbon, a nonmetal, is an essential constituent of steel.
Explanation:
Alloys are usually produced by melting the mixture of ingredients. The value of alloys was discovered in very ancient times; brass (copper and zinc) and bronze (copper and tin) were especially important. Today, the most important are the alloy steels, broadly defined as steels containing significant amounts of elements other than iron and carbon. The principal alloying elements for steel are chromium, nickel, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, tungsten, vanadium, and boron have a wide range of special properties, such as hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, magnetizability, and ductility. Nonferrous alloys, mainly copper–nickel, bronze, and aluminum alloys, are much used in coinage. The distinction between an alloying metal and an impurity is sometimes subtle; in aluminum, for example, silicon may be considered an impurity or a valuable component, depending on the application, because silicon adds strength though it reduces corrosion resistance.
Answer:
Explanation:
a) Force of friction = μ R where μ is coefficient of kinetic friction and R is reaction force
R = mg where m is mass of the block
Force of friction F = μ x mg
= .173 x 12.2 x 9.8
= 20.68 N
b ) Only force of friction is acting on the body so
deceleration = force / mass = 20.68 / 12.2 = 1.7 m /s²
acceleration = - 1.7 m /s²
c )
v² = u² - 2 a s
v = 0 , u = 3.9 m /s
a = 1.7 m /s
0 = 3.9² - 2 x 1.7 x s
s = 4.47 m
Answer:
12 km/h
Explanation:
Average Speed = Distance / Time (or rate)
Pick a point on the graph for Ian and plug in values.
For example, 20 minutes -> 4km
Hence, Average speed = 4km ÷ 20 minutes = 0.2 km/min
0.2 km/min × 60 = 12 km/h
The time for the echo to return is directly proportional to the distance. vw = fλ. In a given medium under fixed conditions, vw is constant, so that there is a relationship between f and λ; the higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength.
