Answer:

Polymers , thermoplastics.

Explanation:

Polymers like thermoplastic polymers can be recycled because they can be melted easily but thermosetting polymer can not be recycled because of their high melting point. Ceramics due to their high melting point are not recycled.

Thermoplastic composites can be recycled but thermoseting composites are not recycled. Composites are mix of two or more type of material having different physical and chemical properties.

A car moving at 10.0 m/s encounters a depression in the road that has a circular cross-section with a radius of 30.0 m. What is

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

F = 789 Newton

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of the car, v = 10 m/s

Radius of circular path, r = 30 m

Mass of the passenger, m = 60 kg

To find :

The normal force exerted by the seat of the car when the it is at the bottom of the depression.

Solution,

Normal force acting on the car at the bottom of the depression is the sum of centripetal force and its weight.

$N=mg+\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$N=m(g+\dfrac{v^2}{r})$

$N=60\times (9.81+\dfrac{(10)^2}{30})$

N = 788.6 Newton

N = 789 Newton

So, the normal force exerted by the seat of the car is 789 Newton.

Technician A says when diagnosing an overheating hydraulic system, be sure that the oil cooler is not plugged and the cooler’s f

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Tech B is correct and Tech A is incorrect.

Explanation:

Here Tech A is wrong because when diagnosing an overheating hydraulic system, it is not necessary to un plugg the oil cooler rather it should be plugged to for proper diagnosis.

Technician B says running the hydraulic system at a lower operating temperature will reduce the possibly of oil oxidation is correct statement because at temperature oil's physical as well as chemical property tend to change.

Hence, Tech B is correct and Tech A is incorrect.

The perihelion of the comet TOTAS is 1.69 AU and the aphelion is 4.40 AU. Given that its speed at perihelion is 28 km/s, what is

dybincka [34]

Answer:

The speed at the aphelion is 10.75 km/s.

Explanation:

The angular momentum is defined as:

$L = mrv$ (1)

Since there is no torque acting on the system, it can be expressed in the following way:

$t = \frac{\Delta L}{\Delta t}$

$t \Delta t = \Delta L$

$\Delta L = 0$

$L_{a} - L_{p} = 0$

$L_{a} = L_{p}$ (2)

Replacing equation 1 in equation 2 it is gotten:

$mr_{a}v_{a} =mr_{p}v_{p}$ (3)

Where m is the mass of the comet, $r_{a}$ is the orbital radius at the aphelion, $v_{a}$ is the speed at the aphelion, $r_{p}$ is the orbital radius at the perihelion and $v_{p}$ is the speed at the perihelion.

From equation 3 v_{a} will be isolated:

$v_{a} = \frac{mr_{p}v_{p}}{mr_{a}}$

$v_{a} = \frac{r_{p}v_{p}}{r_{a}}$ (4)

Before replacing all the values in equation 4 it is necessary to express the orbital radius for the perihelion and the aphelion from AU (astronomical units) to meters, and then from meters to kilometers:

$r_{p} = 1.69 AU x \frac{1.496x10^{11} m}{1 AU}$ ⇒ $2.528x10^{11} m$
