Crystalline crystals have sharp, well-defined melting points. Amorphous Solids don't have melting points.

The purpose of a gasoline car engine is to convert gasoline into motion
so that your car can move. Currently the easiest way to create motion
from gasoline is to burn the gasoline inside an engine.
Therefore, a car engine is an internal combustion engine -- combustion takes place internally.
There is such a thing as an external combustion engine. A steam engine
in old-fashioned trains and steam boats is the best example of an
external combustion engine. The fuel (coal, wood, oil, whatever) in a
steam engine burns outside the engine to create steam, and the steam
creates motion inside the engine. Internal combustion is a lot more
efficient (takes less fuel per mile) than external combustion, plus an
internal combustion engine is a lot smaller than an equivalent external
combustion engine. This explains why we don't see any cars using steam
engines.
To understand the basic idea behind how a reciprocating internal
combustion engine works, it is helpful to have a good mental image of
how "internal combustion" works.
One good example is an old Revolutionary War cannon. You have probably
seen these in movies, where the soldiers load the cannon with gun powder
and a cannon ball and light it. That is internal combustion, but it is
hard to imagine that having anything to do with engines.
A potato cannon uses the basic principle behind any reciprocating
internal combustion engine: If you put a tiny amount of high-energy fuel
(like gasoline) in a small, enclosed space and ignite it, an incredible
amount of energy is released in the form of expanding gas. You can use
that energy to propel a potato 500 feet. In this case, the energy is
translated into potato motion. You can also use it for more interesting
purposes. For example, if you can create a cycle that allows you to set
off explosions like this hundreds of times per minute, and if you can
harness that energy in a useful way, what you have is the core of a car
engine! </span>
Answer:
t_total = 23.757 s
Explanation:
This is a kinematics exercise.
Let's start by calculating the distance and has to reach the limit speed of
v = 18.8 m / s
v = v₀ + a t₁
the elevator starts with zero speed
v = a t₁
t₁ = v / a
t₁ = 18.8 / 2.40
t₁ = 7.833 s
in this time he runs
y₁ = v₀ t₁ + ½ a t₁²
y₁ = ½ a t₁²
y₁ = ½ 2.40 7.833²
y₁ = 73.627 m
This is the time and distance traveled until reaching the maximum speed, which will be constant throughout the rest of the trip.
x_total = x₁ + x₂
x₂ = x_total - x₁
x₂ = 373 - 73,627
x₂ = 299.373 m
this distance travels at constant speed,
v = x₂ / t₂
t₂ = x₂ / v
t₂ = 299.373 / 18.8
t₂ = 15.92 s
therefore the total travel time is
t_total = t₁ + t₂
t_total = 7.833 + 15.92
t_total = 23.757 s
Answer:
Friction is a force that holds back the movement of a sliding object.
Explanation:
The two types of friction: Static friction and Kinetic friction. Static friction operates between two surfaces that aren't moving relative to each other, while kinetic friction acts between objects in motion.
If the machine's mechanical advantage is 4.5, that means that
Output force = (4.5) x (Input force) .
We know the input force, and we need to find the output force. Rather than wander around the room looking at the floor while our hair smolders, let's try putting the numbers we know into the equation I wrote up there. OK ?
Output force = (4.5) x (Input force)
Output force = (4.5) x (800 N)
Now dooda multiplication:
<em>Output force = 3,600 N</em> .
That's exactly what the question asked for. So we're done !
