Answer:

Differences are listed below:

Explanation:

Weight: Plastic can weigh appreciably much less than than metal.A plastic part weighs approximately one-sixth of the same part in steel.

Chemical resistance:Plastic are much less likely to suffer chemical attack and don not corrode.

Machinability: Plastic are much more easier to cut through than metal.

Product life: The life span for plastic is longer than of the metals in many applications.

Cost: The cost of plastic raw materials is appreciably less than of the metals.

Heat: Plastic are less heat resistive than metals.

Ultraviolet light can degrade the plastics soon.

Strength: Metal provides more strength than the plastic.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

3.69 m/s

Explanation:

Forces :

mgsin Θ - mumgcosΘ = ma

g x sinΘ - mu x g x cosΘ = a

9.8 x sin 21 - 0.53 x 9.8 x cos 21 = a

a = -1.337 m/s²

so you have final velocity = 0 m/s

initial velocity = ? m/s

Given d = 5.1 m

By kinematics

vf² = vo² + 2ad

0 = vo² + 2 x -1.337*5.1

vo = 3.69 m/s

Dave throws a 10 kg bowling ball straight up in the air. At the very tippy-top of its path, what is it's momentum?

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:Zero

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball $m=10\ kg$

If the ball is thrown upward then at maximum point velocity of ball is zero because ball is no longer able to move upward

Momentum(P) of a particle is given by

$P=mass\times velocity$

$P=10\times 0$

$P=0$

Therefore at the highest point momentum is zero .

A concave mirror has a radius of curvature of 1.6m. Find the focal length

Yuki888 [10]

Given,

Radius of curvature of concave mirror = 1.6m

We know that ,

Focal length = radius/2

Hence ,

Focal length of concave mirror = radius of concave mirror /2

=> F = 1.6/2

=> F = 0.8m

Hence the focal length of concave mirror is 0.8 m
