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.

A dentist uses a concave mirror (focal length 2.5 cm) to examine some teeth. If the distance from the object to the mirror is 1.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

2.28

Explanation:

From mirror formula,

1/f = 1/u+1/v .......... Equation 1

Where f = focal length of the mirror, v = image distance, u = object distance.

Note: The focal length mirror is positive.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = fu/(u-f)............ Equation 2

Given: f = 2.5 cm, u = 1.4 cm

Substitute into equation 2

v = 2.5(1.4)/(1.4-2.5)

v = 3.5/-1.1

v = -3.2 cm.

Note: v is negative because it is a virtual image.

But,

Magnification = image distance/object distance

M = v/u

Where M = magnification.

Given: v = 3.2 cm, u = 1.4 cm

M = 3.2/1.4

M = 2.28.

Thus the magnification of the tooth = 2.28.

Examine the scenario.

vovangra [49]

Answer:

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that a vector quantity is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction.

Based on this definition, we can already rule out the following two choices:

distance: 40 km

speed: 40 km/h

Since they only have magnitude, they are not vectors.

Then, the following option:

velocity: 5 km/h north

is wrong, because the car is moving south, not north.

So, the correct choice is

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

In fact, the acceleration can be calculated as

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v = 40 km/h is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 5 s is the time

Substituting,

$a=\frac{40 km/h-0}{5 s}=8 km/h/s$

And since the sign is positive, the direction is the same as the velocity (south).

Explain how Pascal's principle can be used to design a fluid power system and describe how a fluid power system works.

zhenek [66]

Pascal's law of fluid transfer states that when there is an increase in fluid pressure, the rest of the extrinsic variables also increases. For example, in a flow of liquid in an orifice, there is a contraction of diameter in the orifice part. The fluid that will go in there increases in pressure and thereby an increase in velocity as well.
