Answer:
Vehicle weight is the biggest single enemy of fuel economy. A heavy vehicle simply needs more power than a smaller one to produce
Explanation:
Answer:
D. is greater for turbulent flow than for laminar flow
Explanation:
what is friction drag?
- friction drag is a phenomenon experienced when a body moves through a fluid. A practical example can be seen in the mild warmth we experience rubbing the palm's of one's hand together only in this case we are dealing with a solid body and a fluid (e.g air, water). friction drag is directly proportional to the area of the surface in contact with the fluid and increases as velocity increases. We see a practical example of this when the rate at which one rubs the palms together is fast but we use the word turbulent when we are dealing with fluids. Turbulent flow creates more friction drag than laminar flow( Flow between a smooth body and fluid) due to its greater interaction with the surface of the body
- it is important to know that friction is also called viscous drag or skin drag
- I recommend Richardson and coulson vol 2 textbook, page 149, Chemical enginering fluid mechanics textbook by Ron dardy, page 341 for clearer explanation
Answer:
This is due to bending of light ray passing through the medium.
Explanation:
This can be explained using the concept of refraction.
Refraction can be defined as the bending of light ray as it travels from one medium to another (it can be from the less dense to denser medium or denser to less dense medium)
For that of pencil in water, light ray travels from less dense medium(surrounding air) to denser medium(water). This causes the pencil to bend away from the normal rather than towards the normal (angle of refraction being greater than angle of incidence) and hence the reason for the bending.
NB: Normal line is perpendicular to the plane between the medium.
Answer:
I think it's true.
Hope this helps .
Explanation:
The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic.
