The average density of a carbon-fiber-epoxy composite is 1.615 g/cm3. the density of the epoxy resin is 1.21 g/cm3 and that of t

he carbon fibers is 1.74 g/cm3. (a) what is the volume percentage of carbon fibers in the composite? (b) what are the weight percentages of epoxy resin and carbon fibers in the composite?

The composite material is composed of carbon fiber and epoxy resins. Now, density is an intensive unit. So, to approach this problem, let's assume there is 1 gram of composite material. Thus, mass carbon + mass epoxy = 1 g.

Volume of composite material = 1 g / 1.615 g/cm³ = 0.619 cm³
Volume of carbon fibers = x g / 1.74 g/cm³ 
Volume of epoxy resin = (1 - x) g / 1.21 g/cm³ 

a.) V of composite = V of carbon fibers + V of epoxy resin
0.619 = x/1.74 + (1-x)/1.21
Solve for x,
x = 0.824 g carbon fibers
1-x = 0.176 g epoxy resins

Vol % of carbon fibers = [(0.824/1.74) ÷ 0.619]*100 =<em> 76.5%</em>

b.) Weight % of epoxy = 0.176 g epoxy/1 g composite * 100 = <em>17.6%</em>
     Weight % of carbon fibers = 0.824 g carbon/1 g composite * 100 = <em>82.4%</em>

What are two variables that affect kinetic energy
zubka84 [21]

The answer for the following questions is explained below.

Explanation:

The two variables that affect kinetic energy are:

  1. mass    and
  2. velocity

  • velocity - The faster an object moves,the more the kinetic energy it has.
  • mass - Kinetic energy increases as mass increases

The kinetic energy of an object depends on both its mass and its velocity

Kinetic energy increases as mass increases

For example,think about rolling a bowling ball and a golf ball down a bowling lane at same velocity

Here,the bowling ball has more mass than the golf ball

Therefore you use more energy to roll the bowling ball than to roll the golf ball

The bowling ball is more likely to knock down the pins because it has more kinetic energy than the golf ball
