I believe the answer you are looking for is Static Friction. Static Friction is the force that holds an object in place until it starts to move. Then it switches to rolling friction.

For example, if you have a 1/2 ton truck sitting in front of you and the truck is in neutral. (meaning it can roll if pushed). The truck is extremely hard to move at first. That is because static friction is holding it in place until the amount of force exceeds the limit of static friction.

So if we continue to push at the truck and you feel it starting to move, then once it starts moving it is much easier to push, that is because we moved past static friction to rolling friction. Rolling friction is what helps slow things down. If you roll a ball across a carpet floor it eventually comes to a stop.

Q<br> 1 What is rusting?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Rust is a chemical reaction (oxidation) of iron that occurs over a period of time as the bare metal surface comes in contact with oxygen present in the air or water. Rust "eats" away the metal, rendering it weak and fragile. ... Avoid contact with water or moisture.

Which type of bonding involves the complete transfer of a valence electron from a less electronegative atom to a more electroneg
Ivan

Answer:

Ionic or electrovalent bonds

Explanation:

Ionic or electrovalent bonds are interatomic or intramolecular bonds which are formed between two kinds of atoms having a large electronegativity difference usually 2.1.

Electronegativity is the property that combines the ability of an atom to gain or lose electrons. It is expressed as the tendency with which atoms of elements attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.

In this bond type, a metal transfers its electrons to a more electronegative atom which is a non-metal.

SOMEONE HELP ASAP I NEED TO FIND AN ANSWER
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

A) Q + XZ = X + QZ is a single displacement reaction.

B) Q + Z = QZ is a synthesis reaction

C) QT = Q + T is a decomposition reaction

D) QT + XZ = QZ + XT is double replacement reaction.

Explanation:

A) Q + XZ = X + QZ

This is a single displacement reaction because it is one in which one element is substituted for another one in a compound. In this case X is substituted for Q.

B) Q + Z = QZ

This is a synthesis reaction because Q and z combine to form a single product QZ.

C) QT = Q + T

This is a decomposition reaction because the compound QT breaks down to form 2 simpler substances Q and T.

D) QT + XZ = QZ + XT

Thus is a double replacement reaction because QT and XZ have exchanged cations to form new compounds QZ and XT

If 5.12 liters of a 2.75 M phosphoric acid is neutralized by magnesium hydroxide solution of 4.00 M.
Tresset [83]

Answer:

5.28 L

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Volume of acid (Va) = 5.12L

Molarity of acid (Ma) = 2.75M

Molarity of base (Mb) = 4M

Volume of base (Vb) =.?

Step 2:

The balanced equation for the reaction

2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

From the balanced equation above,

Mole ratio of the acid (nA) = 2

Mole ratio of the base (nB) = 3

Step 3:

Determination of the volume of the base.

This is illustrated below:

MaVa/MbVb = nA/nB

2.75 x 5.12 / 4 x Vb = 2/3

Cross multiply

4 x 2 x Vb = 2.75 x 5.12 x 3

Divide both side by 4 x 2

Vb = (2.75 x 5.12 x 3)/(4 x 2)

Vb = 5.28 L

Therefore, the volume of the base is 5.28 L
