Explain the difference between waterproofing and dampproofing. When is one or the other an appropriate choice for protecting a f

oundation from moisture?
Physics
1 answer:
AVprozaik [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

(A) water proofing is designed to keep out soil moisture and liquid water through a concrete structure while damp proofing is a coating on the exterior of a structure so as to stop the transference of ground moisture through concrete.

(B) Water proofing is more appropriate when the water table of the region is  higher and there is higher rainfall, it is also more appropriate when there is a presence of hydro-static pressure.

while

Damp proofing is more preferable when there is a drier climate, there is a lower water table, also when there is a well drained soil and also good gravity drain.

you push with an 18-N horizontal force on a 5-kg box of coffee resting on a on a horizontal surface. the force of friction on th
KatRina [158]

The acceleration is found to be 2 m/s², final velocity after 10 seconds is 20 m/s and the final position after 10 seconds is 100 m away from the starting point.

Answer:

Explanation:

As per Newton's second law of motion, acceleration of any object is directly proportional to the net external unbalanced force acting on that object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Since there are two forces acting on the box in opposite direction, the net force will be the difference of horizontal and frictional force acting on the object.

Net force = Horizontal force - Frictional force = 18 N - 8 N = 10 N.

Now, from second law of motion, Acceleration = \frac{Net force}{Mass}

So, acceleration = 10 N /5 kg = 2 m/s².

Since, acceleration exerted by the box is found to be 2 m/s², we can determine the final velocity of the object after 10 seconds using the first equation of motion.

v = u + at, Here v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity which is zero for the present case. Other parameters like a is found to be 2 m/s² and time is 10 seconds.

So Final velocity v = 0+(2×10)=20 m/s.

And the final position can be determined using the second equation of motion.

s = ut+1/2at²

Final position = (0×10)+(0.5×2×10×10)= 100 m.

So the final position is 100 m.

Thus, the acceleration is found to be 2 m/s², final velocity after 10 seconds is 20 m/s and the final position after 10 seconds is 100 m away from the starting point.

If 56.5kJ are needed to raise the temp by 90°C and if the heater is 60% efficient that means that:

60% X y = 56.5kJ

where y is the electrical energy in kJ that the heater will use.

y = 94.2kJ

What is the difference between mass and weight
Likurg_2 [28]
Mass is a property of an object.  It doesn't change, no matter where the object is.

Weight is the gravitational force between two objects.  It depends on the masses
of both objects, and also on the distance between their centers, so it changes,
depending on the mass of the OTHER object involved, and on the distance
between them.
