How would you describe brass since it ia used in weapons, pipes, intruments and ect? A compound, Alloy, Element l, Or molecule?

1 answer:

5 0

<span>Brass is an <u>alloy</u>. An alloy is a mixture of elements to form a unique material. Brass is a mixture of copper and zinc and the percentage of each element depends on the desired material. It has a higher malleability than bronze or zinc. Meaning that it can be bend easily into it desired form.</span>

A 65-kg person stands on a scale in a moving elevator while holding a 5.0 kg mass suspended from a massless spring with spring c

disa [49]

Answer:

The question is incomplete. However, I believe, it is asking for the acceleration of the elevator. This is 3.16 m/s².

Explanation:

By Hooke's law, $F = ke$

F is the force on a spring, k is the spring constant and e is the extension or compression.

From the question,

$F = (1.08\text{ kN/m}) \times (6.0 \times 10^{-2}\text{ m}) = 64.8 \text{ N}$

This is the force on the mass suspended on the spring. Its acceleration, a, is given by

$F = ma$

$a = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a = \dfrac{64.8 \text{ N}}{5\text{ kg}} = 12.96\text{ m/s}^2$

This acceleration is more than the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s². Hence the elevator must be moving up with an acceleration of

12.96 - 9.8 m/s² = 3.16 m/s²

A ray of light passes from one material into a material with a higher index of refraction. Determine whether each of the followi

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a) the Angle te also decreases , b) decrease, c) unchanged , d) the speed decrease , e) unchanged

Explanation:

When a ray of light passes from one transparent material to another, it must comply with the law of refraction

n1 sin θ₁ = n2 sin θ₂

Where index v1 is for the incident ray and index 2 for the refracted ray

With this expression let's examine the questions

a) They indicate that the refractive index increases,

sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ₁

θ₂ = sin⁻¹ (n₁ /n₂ sin θ₁)

As m is greater than n1 the quantity on the right is less than one, the whole quantity in parentheses decreases so the Angle te also decreases

Answer is decrease

b) The wave velocity eta related to the wavelength and frequency

v = λ f

The frequency does not change since the passage from one medium to the other is a process of forced oscillation, resonance whereby the frequency in the two mediums is the same.

The speed decreases with the indicated refraction increases and therefore the wavelength decreases

λ = λ₀ / n

The answer is decrease

c) from the previous analysis the frequency remains unchanged

d) the refractive index is defined by

n = c / v

So if n increases, the speed must decrease

The answer is decrease

e) the energy of the photon is given by the Planck equation

E = h f

Since the frequency does not change, the energy does not change either

Answer remains unchanged

A floating ice block is pushed through a displacement d = (13.5 m)i + (-14.3 m)j along a straight embankment by rushing water, w

fredd [130]

To solve this problem, we are going to use the formula for work which is Fd where x and y are measured separately.

X direction: W = 13.5 x 230 = 3105 Joules

Y direction: W = -14.3 x -165 = 2360 Joules

So the total work is getting the sum of the two: 3105 + 2360 = 5465 Joules
