How to separate sand and finely ground polystyrene foam?

1 answer:

4 0

Polstyrene foam is more commonly known as styrofoam. When clumped together, styrofoam would float on water. So, the easiest and the most cost-efffective way of separating sand from styrofoam is flotation with the use of water.

Other processes are also available. Polystyrene is soluble in organic solvents like acetone, toluene or benzene. By adding these solvents, polystyrene would react so that you are left with only the sand. This process is called solvent extraction. If you want to recover the styrofoam, just evaporate the solvent out and you are left with a solid form of the polystyrene.

A mechanic needs to replace the motor for a merry-go-round. The merry-go-round should accelerate from rest to 1.5 rad/s in 6.0s

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

109656.25 Nm

Explanation:

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity = 1.5 rad/s

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 0

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration

t = Time taken = 6 s

m = Mass of disk = 29000 kg

r = Radius = 5.5 m

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha t\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{1.5-0}{6}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=0.25\ rad/s^2$

Torque is given by

$\tau=I\alpha\\\Rightarrow \tau=\dfrac{1}{2}mr^2\alpha\\\Rightarrow \tau=\dfrac{1}{2}29000\times 5.5^2\times 0.25\\\Rightarrow \tau=109656.25\ Nm$

The torque specifications must be 109656.25 Nm

John’s mass is 95.6 kg, and Barbara’s is 55.3 kg. He is standing on the x axis at xJ = +10.9 m, while she is standing on the x a

Answer:Shifted towards Left by distance of 2.243 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of john $m_1=95.6 kg$

Mass of barbara $m_2=55.3 kg$

John is standing at $x=10.9 m$

Barbara is standing at $x=2.50 m$

$x_{com}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}$

$x_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 10.9+55.3\times 2.5}{95.6+55.3}$

$x_{com}=\frac{1180.29}{150.9}$

$x_{com}=7.821 m$

Now if they change their Position then

$x'_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 2.5+55.3\times 10.9}{95.6+55.3}$

$x'_{com}=\frac{841.77}{150.9}$

$x'_{com}=5.578$

Thus we can see that center of mass shifted towards left by a distance of $2.243 m$ because heavier is shifted towards left

Gravity is the force that pulls you down.
(This is kind of a duh! question ... How do we know
which way is "down" ? We feel gravity, and we call
that the "down" direction.)

Magnetic force holds things to fridge doors.

Contact forces need to touch something in order to
exert their force.
Example: Gravity is NOT a contact force.

I don't know about "rubbing things away".
This might be a description of friction, but if so,
it's not a good one.

Buoyant force is what keeps floating things floating.

Air resistance slows things down when they move in air.
