The answer is static friction. This is the friction that involves objects that do not move.

Answer:

Static friction

Explanation:

Friction is a force which opposes the motion of one object moving relative to another. static friction and kinetic friction are the two type of friction.

Static friction is that type of friction which keeps an object at rest. Force must be applied greater than static friction to move an object. Therefore it is the static friction which helps the pile of rocks from falling apart.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

43.7 °C

Explanation:

\alpha_b = Coefficient of linear expansion of brass = 18\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C

\alpha_s = Coefficient of linear expansion of steel = 11\times 10^{-6}\ ^{\circ}C

L_{0b} = Initial length of brass = 31 cm

L_{0s} = Initial length of steel = 11 m

\Delta L = Total change in length = 3 mm

Total change in length would be

\Delta L=\Delta L_b+\Delta L_s\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=L_{0b}\alpha_b\Delta T+L_{0s}\alpha_b\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{\Delta L}{L_{0b}\alpha_b+L_{0s}\alpha_b}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=\frac{0.003}{0.31\times 18\times 10^{-6}+11\times 10^{-6}\times 11}\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=23.7\ ^{\circ}C

\Delta T=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f-T_i=23.7\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+T_i\\\Rightarrow T_f=23.7+20\\\Rightarrow T_f=43.7\ ^{\circ}C

The final temperature is 43.7 °C

How many infrared photons of frequency 2.57 x 1013 Hz would need to be absorbed simultaneously by a tightly bound molecule to br
victus00 [196]

Answer:

94

Explanation:

f = 2.57 x 10^13 Hz

E = 10 eV = 10 x 1.6 x 10^-19 J = 1.6 x 10^-18 J

Energy of each photon = h f

Where, h is Plank's constant

Energy of each photon = 6.63 x 10^-34 x 2.57 x 10^13 = 1.7 x 10^-20 J

Number of photons = Total energy / energy of one photon

N = (1.6 x 10^-18) / (1.7 x 10^-20) = 94.11 = 94

what are three activities in your everyday life that involve electromagnetic energy? and explain what type of electromagnetic en
mihalych1998 [28]

1). While I'm driving the car, I keep my eyes pointed out the front window,

so that LIGHT WAVES coming straight in through the front window get into

them. Using this process, I'm able to SEE what's in front of me, so that I don't

drive straight into it.


2). Also while I'm driving the car, I usually have the radio on, and I tune it

to a frequency where the RADIO WAVES that it responds to are being

modulated by people who are either talking or else playing classical music.


3). Before I leave the house on most days, I take a small container of

frozen Irish oatmeal out of the freezer, and I load it into the big box

above the stove, where MICROWAVE ENERGY thaws it, and warms

it to a nice eating temperature.


3A). When I arrive at my job, I usually do things that are also associated

in some way with MICROWAVE energy, since I work as a microwave

system design engineer. Most of the time it's just paperwork, but there

ARE times when I work with an actual radio that's either generating or

detecting real microwave energy, and either sending it up to, or receiving

it down from, a big dish antenna on a radio tower. Those are the days that

I like the best.
