Answer:

No, life would not be to develop

Explanation:

Stars less massive than about 2 solar masses can only produce natural element up to carbon and oxygen, which are the basic elements for building life. However, other more massive elements are needed by life to thrive and function properly, more massive elements like phosphorus, iron necessary for oxygen circulation, calcium for a strong support system, and silicon are essential for for life to form and be sustained here on Earth.

A tradesman sharpens a knife by pushing it with a constant force against the rim of a grindstone. The 30-cm-diameter stone is sp

Lorico [155]

Answer:

a. 0.21 rad/s2

b. 2.205 N

Explanation:

We convert from rpm to rad/s knowing that each revolution has 2π radians and each minute is 60 seconds

200 rpm = 200 * 2π / 60 = 21 rad/s

180 rpm = 180 * 2π / 60 = 18.85 rad/s

r = d/2 = 30cm / 2 = 15 cm = 0.15 m

a)So if the angular speed decreases steadily (at a constant rate) from 21 rad/s to 18.85 rad/s within 10s then the angular acceleration is

$\alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{21 - 18.85}{10} = 0.21 rad/s^2$

b) Assume the grind stone is a solid disk, its moment of inertia is

$I = mR^2/2$

Where m = 28 kg is the disk mass and R = 0.15 m is the radius of the disk.

$I = 28*0.15^2/2 = 0.315 kgm^2$

So the friction torque is

$T_f = I\alpha = 0.315*0.21 = 0.06615 Nm$

The friction force is

$F_f = T_f/R = 0.06615 / 0.15 = 0.441 N$

Since the friction coefficient is 0.2, we can calculate the normal force that is used to press the knife against the stone

$N = F_f/\mu = 0.441/0.2 = 2.205 N$

Which best describes a characteristic of an adiabatic process?

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

<h3>Can you please provide the choices? For now this is all I can give you.</h3>

Explanation:

In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process is a type of thermodynamic process which occurs without transferring heat or mass between the system and its surroundings.Unlike an isothermal process, an adiabatic process transfers energy to the surroundings only as work. It also conceptually supports the theory used to explain the first law of thermodynamics and is therefore a key thermodynamic concept.
