While pushing a refrigerator up a ramp, there would be less friction to overcome if you used a dolly because of the wheels. So the efficiency of the ramp would be greater with the use of the dolly.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The ramp provides for a wedge setup, so when the refrigerator is being pushed up the ramp, the friction on the ramp would equally distributed to the refrigerator when pushed wholly as the friction applied is a product of the coefficient of friction with the Normal reaction of the weight in contact with the surface.

Therefore, when the dolly is used, the surface in contact becomes divided and thus, the friction applied would become less due to though coefficient of friction remains the same, the normal reaction of the weight becomes small and so does the applied friction. Therefore, efficiency of the ramp increases as the friction is less and work done is more.

Solve -7= sqrt 2x-9​
Sauron [17]

Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

if it was -7 = the square root of both 2x-9 together, it would be false.

if it was square root of just 2x in the equation, the answer is:

x = 2

°°°°°°°°°

-7 = √2x - 9

-√2x = -9 + 7

√-2x = -2

√2x = 2

2x = 4

x = 2

Which of the following is not a colligative property? a. osmotic pressure b. lattice energy c. vapor-pressure lowering d. boilin
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

b) lattice energy

Explanation:

A solution is said to have colligative property when the property depends on the solute present in the solution.

Colligative property depend upon on the solute particle or the ion concentration not on the identity of solute.

osmotic pressure, vapor pressure lowering , boiling point elevation and freezing point lowering all depend upon solute concentration so they will not have colligative property so, the answer remains option 'b' which is lattice energy.

Diane swim 5 kilometers against the current in the same amout of time it took her to swim 15 kilometers with the current . The r
lidiya [134]

Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

suppose 's' is Diane's speed with no current.

't' represents time in hrs.

Using the formula:

Distance = speed 's' x time 't'

-> when she swims against the current, equation will be,

5= (s-2)t

t= 5/(s-2)

->when she was swimming with the current, equation is,

15= (s+2) t

t= 15/(s+2)

equating eq(1) and (2)

5/(s-2) = 15/(s+2)

5s + 10 = 15s - 30

40= 10s

s= 40/10

s=4

Therefore, if there were no current, her speed is 4km/hr
