The city is using sand trucks to place on the road during ice conditions which best explians the use of the sand

1 answer:

The sand provides a rough surface on top of the ice for the cars' tires to grip onto. It provides more friction. Salt melts the ice and often provides more friction (the disadvantage is that it eats concrete!).

The density of the fat tristearin is 0.95 g cm−3 . Calculate the change in molar Gibbs energy of tristearin when a deep-sea crea

KatRina [158]

The formula for the change in Gibbs energy of a solid is:

ΔG = Vm ΔP

where, ΔG is change in Gibbs, Vm is molar volume, ΔP is change in pressure

ΔP = P(final) – P(initial)

P(final) = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

P(initial) = ρ_water *g *h = (1030 kg/m^3) * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2000 m = 20188000 kg m/s^2 = 20188000 Pa

Vm = (950 kg/m^3) * (1000 mol / 891.48 kg) = 1065.64 mol/m^3

So,

ΔG = (1065.64 mol/m^3) * (101325 Pa - 20188000 Pa)

According to Archimedes' principle, the mass of a floating object equals the mass of the fluid displaced by the object. A 150-lb

julsineya [31]

Answer:

The density of the swimmer is 0.0342 lbm/in3.

This value makes sense as the density of the body is very similar to the water.

Explanation:

If the swimmers is floating, the weight of the swimmer must be equal to the upward buoyant force.

We can express the weight force as the product of density and volume of the swimmer.

Then

$\rho_{swimmer}*V_{swimmer}=\rho_{water}*V_{water_displaced}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}*V_{swimmer}=\rho_{water}*0.95**V_{swimmer}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.95*\rho_{water}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.95*0.036 lbm/in3\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.0342lbm/in3$

It makes sense as the density of the body is very similar to the water.
