How does the size and shape of a material impact how it ignites?

Physics

Shape affects the ignition and behavior of fire much the same as size. Flat shaped fuel is similar to small size fuel in that it has a larger surface-to-volume ratio. It dries out faster and there is also more surface area for the heat to enter, thus it will ignite more readily because it takes less heat to dry it out.

Thinner materials tend to burn faster because the fire would be able to reach oxygen better, due to the fact that more of the mass would be exposed to the oxygen

Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls eastward with a force of 80.5 N, Jill pulls with 81.7 N in the
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

F = 233.52 N,  θ' = 351.41º

Explanation:

In this exercise we must find the net force applied on the donkey.

For this we use Newton's second law, where we create a reference frame with the horizontal x axis

let's decompose the forces

Jack

        = 80.5 N

Jill

       cos 45 = F_{2x} / F₂2

       sin 45 = F_{2y} / F₂2

       F_{2x} = F₂ cos 45

       F_{2y} = F₂ sin 45

       F_{2x} = 81.7 cos 45 = 57.77 N

       F_{2y} = 81.7 sin 45 = 57.77 N

Jane

      cos (270 + 45) = F_{3x} / F₃3

      sin 315 = F_{3y} / F₃

      F_{3x} = 131 cos 315 = 92.63 N

      F_{3y} = 131 sin 315 = -92.63 N

the force can be found in each axis

X axis

         F_{x} = F_{1x} + F_{2x} + F_{3x}

         F_{x} = 80.5 +57.77 + 92.63

         F_{x} = 230.9 N

Axis y

         F_{y} = F_{1y} + F_{2y} + F_{3y}

         F_{y} = 0 + 57.77 -92.63

         F_{y} = -34.86 N

we can give the result in two ways

a) F = (230.9 i ^ - 34.86 j ^) N

b) in the form of module and angle

we use the Pythagorean theorem

         F = √(Fₓ² + F_{y}²

        F = √(230.9² + 34.86²)

        F = 233.52 N

let's use trigonometry for the angle

        tan θ = \frac{F_y}{F_x} }

        θ = tan⁻¹ (\frac{F_y}{F_x} })

        θ = tan⁻¹ (-34.86 / 230.9)

        θ = -8.59º

if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x-axis counterclockwise

          θ' = 360 -θ

          θ‘= 360- 8.59

          θ' = 351.41º

Water flows from a large drainage pipe at a rate of 950 gal/min. What is this volume rate of flow in (a) m3/s , (b) liters/min,
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

0.05997\ m^3/s

3596.1395\ L/min

2.11647\ ft^3/s

Explanation:

1\ gal/min=\dfrac{1}{264\times 60}\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=950\times \dfrac{1}{264\times 60}\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=0.05997\ m^3/s

Volume rate of flow is 0.05997\ m^3/s

1\ gal/min=3.78541\ L/min\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=950\times 3.78541=3596.1395\ L/min

Volume rate of flow is 3596.1395\ L/min

1\ gal/min=\dfrac{1}{7.481\times 60}\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=950\times \dfrac{1}{7.481\times 60}\\\Rightarrow 950\ gal/min=2.11647\ ft^3/s

Volume rate of flow is 2.11647\ ft^3/s

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp
faltersainse [42]

Answer:  The volume of gas expands because of the decrease in pressure as he tries to exit the water body, therefore he must take necessary precaution.

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the  the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature

ie P1VI=P2V2

A diver absorbs compressed nitrogen gas when  he dives into the water body, As he ascends  out of the water body having less pressure, the volume of nitrogen gas which he absorbs will tend to expand following  Boyle's Law.  Therefore a scuba driver should not rises quickly but slowly  to the surface or else the  expanding nitrogen gas can cause tiny bubbles in his blood and tissue to form together with joints pains and eventually  cause decompression sickness needing medical attention.
