Products such as antifreeze are composed of organic compounds that are classified as <em>alcohols</em>. (a)

Maybe those other classes of chemicals also lower the freezing temperature of water, just like alcohol does.  I don't know.  But alcohol is what's used to make anti-freeze.  I'm guessing alcohol must be cheaper, less toxic, and less corrosive inside the engines' cooling systems than any of that other stuff is.

A 20-kg boy slides down a smooth, snow-covered hill on a plastic disk. The hill is at a 10° angle to the horizontal, and the slo
zvonat [6]

Answer:

13 m/s

Explanation:

I assume we are ignoring friction.

The boy's PE will all be converted to KE at the bottom of the hill.

to find PE = mgh   we need to know h

   h = 50 sin 10 = 8.68 meters

     then:    PE = 20 * 9.81 * 8.68 =<u> 1703.49</u> j

KE = 1/2 m v^2 = <u>1703 .49</u>

            v = 13 m/s

Doss [256]

Answer:

4.6×10^-7 m or 0.46nm

Explanation:

From

Wo= hc/λ

Where:

Wo= work function of the metal

h= planks constant

c= speed of light

λ= wavelength

λ= hc/Wo

λ= 6.6×10^-34 × 3×10^8/4.30×10^-19

λ= 4.6×10^-7 m

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

A Fan Cart Initially Has An Acceleration Of 1.6m/s/s When It's Fan Is Directed Straight Backwards. If You Rotate The Fan By 45o, By What Percentage Do You Expect The Fan Cart's Thrust To Decrease? (Answer Should Be In Units Of 96)

a. 45%

b. 29%

c. 71%

d. 50%

The correct answer is d.

d. 50%

Explanation:

Fan cart acceleration = 1.6 m/s²

Thrust = 0.25×π×D²×ρ×v×Δv

where Δv = acceleration component and all factors remaining cconstant, when the fan is rotated by 45 ° the diameter changes to D₂ = sin 45 ×D

or 0.707×D. The thrust becomes 0.25×π×(0.707×D)²×ρ×v×Δv

=0.25×π×0.5×D²×ρ×v×Δv or 0.5(0.25×π×D²×ρ×v×Δv)

That is the thrust reduces by 50 %
