An avalanche takes place when ice and snow move down a slope with great speed. What effect does friction have on its rate of mov

ement? A. Friction causes the avalanche to move rapidly. B. Friction creates a curved surface that decreases the speed. C. The speed of the avalanche decreases with increased friction. D. The speed of the avalanche increases with increased friction. E. Friction does not have any effect on the avalanche.

The answer is; D

The friction causes the ice at the base of the avalanche to melt into water (also due to the pressure of the weight of the ice-rock above). The melted water acts as a lubricant hence reducing the drag/friction in the avalanche movement. This increases its speed down the slope hence making it more destructive.

An electron is emitted from a nucleus- State the effect this has on the charge of the nucleus
Likurg_2 [28]

Question

An electron is emitted from a nucleus- State the effect this has on the charge of the nucleus

Answer:

an electron orbiting around the nucleus combines with a nuclear proton to produce a neutron, which remains in the nucleus, and a neutrino, which is emitted.  As in positron emission, the nuclear positive charge and hence the atomic number decreases by one unit, and the mass number remains the same.

hope this helps!!!

Semmy [17]

Answer:

a) acceleration = 5.75 g

b) acceleration = -20.5 g

Explanation:

Hi there!

The acceleration is the variation of the speed over time:

a (acceleration) = (final speed - initial speed) / time

a) The acceleration in the direction of the motion of Dr. Stapp is:

a = (282 m/s - 0 m/s) / 5.00 s = 56.4 m/s² * (1 g / 9.80 m/s² ) = 5.75 g

b) The acceleration opposite the direction of the motion of Dr. Stapp is:

a = (0 m/s - 282 m/s) / 1.40 s =  -201 m/s² * (1 g / 9.80 m/s² ) = -20.5 g

An engine extracts 441.3kJ of heat from the burning of fuel each cycle, but rejects 259.8 kJ of heat (exhaust, friction,etc) dur
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

\eta = 0.411

Explanation:

As we know that efficiency is defined as the ratio of output useful work and the input energy to the engine

So here we know that the

input energy = 441.3 kJ

energy rejected = 259.8 kJ

so we have

Q_1 - Q_2 = W

W = 441.3 kJ - 259.8 kJ = 181.5 kJ

now efficiency is defined as

\eta = \frac{W}{Q_1}

\eta = \frac{181.5}{441.3}

\eta = 0.411
