Answer:

Not to have any contact between fuel pump and tank.

Explanation:

Static spark occurs when there is a imbalance of electric charges at surface of any material. This can even  result into high damage especially while filling boat tank, hence measures should be taken to prevent static sparks.

* Make sure not to have any contact between the brim or surface of fuel pump and the tank's opening.

* Fill the tank carefully without spilling the fuel in water.

* Never fill the tank up to its maximum capacity.

To prevent static sparks that could occur while you fill fuel is that, a person who is filling the tank should remember that the nozzle of the fuel pump hose should always be in connected or in contact to the tank. This will prevent static sparks from happening to the boat that is going to be used and prevent harm to the person using or refilling the fuel.

A block of weight mg sits on an inclined plane as shown in (Figure 1) . A force of magnitude F1 is applied to pull the block up
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

W = (F1 - mg sin θ) L,   W = -μ  mg cos θ L

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law to find the friction force. In these problems the x axis is taken parallel to the plane and the y axis perpendicular to the plane

Y Axis  

       N - W_{y} =

       N = W_{y}

X axis

       F1 - fr - Wₓ = 0

       fr = F1 - Wₓ

Let's use trigonometry to find the components of the weight

     sin θ = Wₓ / W

     cos θ = W_{y} / W

      Wₓ = W sin θ

      W_{y} = W cos θ

We substitute

      fr = F1 - W sin θ

Work is defined by

        W = F .dx

        W = F dx cos θ

The friction force is parallel to the plane in the negative direction and the displacement is positive along the plane, so the Angle is 180º and the cos θ= -1

         

        W = -fr x

        W = (F1 - mg sin θ) L

Another way to calculate is

         fr = μ N

         fr = μ W cos θ

the work is

         W = -μ  mg cos θ L

Which of the following is not an example of natural climate change?
wlad13 [49]

(c) is the correct choice.

El Nino (a), Earth's orbit (b), and solar energy output (d) are all "natural" occurrences.  You can't do a thing aboutum.

Fossil fuels ... or, more precisely, humanity's use of vast quantities of fossil fuels as a convenient source of huge quantities of energy ... and the subsequent increase of Carbon Dioxide in the planet's atmosphere, is not the result of "natural" processes.  It's the result of human efforts to <em>alter and control</em> Nature, through <em>artificial</em> processes.

Two forces act on a 6.00-kg object. One of the forces is 10.0 N. If the object accelerates at 2.00 m/s2
liubo4ka [24]

Given :

Two forces act on a 6.00-kg object. One of the forces is 10.0 N.

Acceleration of object 2 m/s².

To Find :

The greatest possible magnitude of the other force.\

Solution :

Let, other force is f.

So, net force, F = 10 + f.

Now, acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{F}{mass}\\\\a= \dfrac{10+f}{6}\\\\\dfrac{10+f}{6}=2\\\\f = 12 - 10\\\\f = 2 \ N

Therefore, the greatest possible magnitude of the other force is 2 N.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Why do the noble gases and some other elements on the right side of the periodic table occur as gases instead of solids as do th
mash [69]

Explanation:

The left side of the periodic table has elements that have less number of electrons in the valence shell.

These elements loose electrons easily.These elements appear as metals or metalloids in nature.These are hard solids.Their inter molecular forces are very strong.

The right side of the periodic table has elements that have more number of electrons in the valence shell.

These elements gain electrons easily.These elements appear as non metals most of which are gases.Their inter molecular forces are weak.
