You wash the dishes. when you let the water down the drain, where is the water flowing the fastest?

1 answer:

3 0

The water flows the fastest at the center.

This is due to the friction between the water and the sink/drain. The outer parts of the water that are in contact with the kitchen sink/drain experience a greater frictional force and slow down. Their slowing down also affects the layers of water molecules adjacent to them, thereby reducing their speed as well. The layer of water molecules least affected by the friction with the sink/drain is at the center, and so they are the ones that move the fastest.

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of children $m_1=20\ kg$

$m_2=30\ kg$

distance between two children $L=3\ m$

suppose small child is at a distance of x m from pivot point

so torque of small child and heavier child must be equal

$20\times (x)=30\times (3-x)$

$2x=9-3x$

$5x=9$

$x=1.8\ m$

Which trophic level has the least available energy in kilojoules in this food web?

insens350 [35]

The highest trophic level has the least available energy in kilojoules.

Even though the food web is not shown in the question, but we know that energy decreases steadily as it is passed on from one trophic level to the next according to the second law of thermodynamics.

Energy enters into the system from the sun. The primary producers utilize this energy to produce food. As plants are eaten by animals, this energy is transferred along the food web an diminishes at each higher trophic level.

At the highest trophic level, the the least available energy in kilojoules in this food web is found.

Need Help with this physics question, just a written response

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction

so it tells us that the force exerted by the earth on the spacecraft is equal to the force exerted by the spacecraft on the earth. But we do not see the earth moving towards the spacecraft because the inertia of the spacecraft is very less than the inertia of the earth.

A museum curator moves artifacts into place on various different display surfaces. If the curator moves a 145 kg aluminum sculpt

NikAS [45]

We are given the mass of an <span>aluminum sculpture which is 145 kg and a horizontal force equal to 668 Newtons. The coefficient of friction can be determined by dividing the horizontal force by the weight of the object. In this case, 668 N / 145 * 9.8 equal to coeff of friction of 0.47</span>
