As water across the surface of the earth it dissolves material as it travels. What property of water does this demonstrate?
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

B) Water is a solvent

Explanation:

Among many other chemicals, water can dissolve a variety of substances. The solvent properties of chemicals are far beyond it. That property makes water a universal solvent.

Water has one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen.

One side of the water molecule is positively charged and the other side is negatively charged. This property attracts other substances like salt and disintegrates into positive and negatively charged ions. This property is due to its physical and chemical nature.

The maximum energy a bone can absorb without breaking is surprisingly small. For a healthy human of mass 60 kg60 kg, experimenta
netineya [11]

Answer:

<em>the maximum height a man can jump from and land rigidly upright on both feet without breaking his legs is 0.34 m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Mass of a healthy man = 60 kg

energy the bone can take without breaking = 200 J

If a healthy man jumps from a height 'h', he falls with an energy equal to the potential energy due to his initial height above the ground.

initial potential energy of the healthy man = mgh

where m = mass of the man

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h = the height above ground

==> PE = 60 x 9.81 x h = 588.6h

If we assume that all energy is absorbed in the leg bones in a rigid landing, then we can safely say that this calculated PE for a healthy man is equal to the energy his bone can absorb in the jump without breaking.

equating, we have

200 = 588.6h

<em>the maximum height a man can jump from without breaking his legs = 200/588.6 = 0.34 m</em>

When people jump from a height, the sudden deceleration to zero can impact a big force on the leg bones, shattering them. If the time spent in decelerating to zero is increased, the overall force on the leg bones is reduced greatly.

<em>Bending the knees gradually on landing from a jump from a height, and then rolling increases the time spent decelerating, and reduces the impact force on the legs due to the landing</em>. If you observe carefully you will see that this is what professional stunts men and acrobats do when they jump from a height.

A horizontal force of 200 N is applied to move a 55 kg television set across a 10 m level surface. What is the work done by the
vivado [14]

Answer:

The work done is "2000 J".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Force,

F = 200 N

Mass,

m = 55 kg

Displacement,

d = 10 m

Now,

The work done will be:

⇒  Work \ done= Force\times displacement

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒                     =200\times 10

⇒                     =2000 \ J

A solid circular disk has a mass of 1.2 kg and a radius of 0.16m. Each of three identical thin rods has a mass of 0.16kg. The ro
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

0.027648 kgm²

Explanation:

M = Mass of disc = 1.2 kg

r = Radius of disc = 0.16 m

m = Mass of rod = 0.16 kg

R = Rod distance = 0.16 m

Moment of inertia of disk is given by

I_1=\dfrac{1}{2}Mr^2\\\Rightarrow I_1=\dfrac{1}{2}1.2\times 0.16^2\\\Rightarrow I_1=0.01536\ kgm^2

Moment of inertia of the three rods

I_2=3mr^2\\\Rightarrow I_2=3\times 0.16\times 0.16^2\\\Rightarrow I_2=0.012288\ kgm^2

The total moment of inertia is given by

I=I_1+I_2=0.01536+0.012288\\\Rightarrow I=0.027648\ kgm^2

The moment of inertia of the stool with respect to an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the disk at its center is 0.027648 kgm²
