Answer:

We use electrolysis to prevent a material from rusting,

The metal forms a coating around the material and hence prevents any contact between the material and the environment

This process also gives us the physical strength of the material and the aesthetic properties of the coated metal

the metal commonly used to coat the object is Zinc and the process is called galvanisation

What happens in the gray zone between solid and liquid?

Reil [10]

Answer:

Hence from liquid to solid or solid to liquid the transition has to cross the grey zone. This grey zone transition is is very crucial which includes the intermolecular forces acting on the molecules and each atoms which makes the change in state from hot to cold and cold to hot.

A boy throws a ball of mass 0.22 kg straight upward with an initial speed of 29 m/s. When the ball returns to the boy, its speed

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The work is -67.76 J

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy is considered one of one of the fundamental laws of physics and states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant. except when it is transformed into other types of energy.

This is summed up in the principle that energy can neither be created nor destroyed in the universe, only transformed into other forms of energy.

In this case you must calculate the loss of kinetic energy. This loss is actually the work done against the resistive force in the air. Friction is the only force other than gravity that acts on the ball.

So, the loss of kinetic energy is $\frac{1}{2} *m*(vf^{2} -vi^{2} )$

You know:

mass=m=0.22 kg
Initial velocity of the ball: $vi= 29 \frac{m}{s}$

Final velocity of the ball: $vf= 15 \frac{m}{s}$

Replacing:

$\frac{1}{2} *0.22 kg*(15^{2} -29^{2} )$ = -67.76 J

Friction work is always negative because friction is always against displacement.

The work is -67.76 J

A train traveled 350km in 2.5h. what was the average speed of the train?

MaRussiya [10]

Speed equals distance divided by time, so 350 divided by 2.5 equals 140 kilometers per hour.

Provide the following information for each of the three types of radiations from naturally radioactive materials. Be sure to inc

scoundrel [369]

Alpha radiation: Particles. Each alpha particle is a little bundle of 2 protons and 2 neutrons ... identical to the nucleus of a Helium atom.

Charge . . . +2 elementary charges

Mass . . . 4 Atomic Mass Units

Relative penetrating power . . . low

The effect an electric field would have on it . . . Since the alpha particle has a positive charge, it's repelled by other positive charges, and attracted toward negative charges.

Beta radiation: Particles. Each beta particle is an electron.

Charge . . . -1 elementary charge

Mass . . . 0.00055 AMU

Relative penetrating power . . . medium

The effect an electric field would have on it . . . repelled by other negative charges, and attracted toward positive charges.

Gamma radiation: electromagnetic wave, verrrrry short wave, high frequency

Charge . . . electromagnetic wave, no charge

Mass . . . electromagnetic wave, no mass

Relative penetrating power . . . high

The effect an electric field would have on it . . . electromagnetic wave, no effect
