Physics
1 answer:
Aneli [31]3 years ago
8 0

The flask was later developed using new materials such as glass and aluminum; however, Dewar refused to patent his invention. ... The name later became a genericized trademark after the term "thermos" became the household name for such a vacuum-insulated container for liquids.

The distance recorded for riding a motorcycle on its rear wheel without stopping is more than 320 km! Suppose the rider in this
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

<h3>14.97m/s</h3>

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity of the car u = 8m/s

Distance travelled by the rider S = 40m

Acceleration a = 2m/s²

Required

rider's velocity after the acceleration v

Using the equation of motion

v² = u²+2as

v² = 8²+2(2)(40)

v² = 64+160

v² = 224

v = √224

v = 14.97m/s

Hence the rider's velocity after the acceleration is 14.97m/s

What are the similarities between strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force
Artemon [7]
Alike because they both act on the quarks making up the nucleons and they have very short ranges. The Strong Nuclear Force is an attractive force between protons and neutrons that keep the nucleus together and the Weak Nuclear Force is responsible for the radioactive decay of certain nuclei. Which also makes them very different

Are the objects described here in static equilibrium, dynamic equilibrium, or not equilibrium at all? Explain.
Alexandra [31]
Let us examine the given situations one at a time.

Case a. A 200-pound barbell is held over your head.
The barbell is in static equilibrium because it is not moving.
Answer: STATIC EQUILIBRIUM

Case b. A girder is being lifted at a constant speed by a crane.
The girder is moving, but not accelerating. It is in dynamic equilibrium.
Answer: DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM

Case c: A jet plane has reached its cruising speed at an altitude.
The plane is moving at cruising speed, but not accelerating. It is in dynamic equilibrium.
Answer: DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM

Case d: A box in the back of a truck doesn't slide as the truck stops.
The box does not slide because the frictional force between the box and the floor of the truck balances out the inertial force. The box is in static equilibrium.
Answer: STATIC EQUILIBRIUM
