Sladkaya [172]2 years ago
8 0

Explanation :

Chlorofluorocarbons are abbreviated as CFC. It contains only carbon, fluorine, and chlorine. Initially, CFC is used as refrigerants.

Impact of chlorofluorocarbons on the atmosphere are :

(1) It damages the earth's ozone layer. So, it was banned in 1996.

(2) It also contributes to global warming.  

(3) They have lived in atmosphere of about 20 to 100 years.

The drawing shows a large cube (mass = 28.6 kg) being accelerated across a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal force
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

P= 454.11 N

Explanation:

Since P is the only horizontal force acting on the system, it can be defined as the product of the acceleration by the total mass of the system (both cubes).

P= (M+m)*a\\a = \frac{P}{28.6 +4.3}\\a = \frac{P}{32.9}

The friction force between both cubes (F) is defined as the normal force acting on the smaller cube multiplied by the coefficient of static friction. Since both cubes are subject to the same acceleration:

F = m * a*\mu \\F= 4.3*0.710*\frac{P}{32.9}\\F=3.053*\frac{P}{32.9}

In order for the small cube to not slide down, the friction force must equal the weight of the small cube:

3.053*\frac{P}{32.9} = 4.3 * g\\\\P = \frac{4.3*9.8*32.9}{3.053} \\P= 454.11 N

The smallest magnitude that P can have in order to keep the small cube from sliding downward is 454.11 N

The illustration shows a rollercoaster and indicates four different positions the car might be at as it moves along the track. A
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Point a

Explanation:

The potential energy of an object is given by :

P = mgh

m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height above ground level.

Potential energy is directly proportional to the position of an object.

In the attached figure, the maximum height is shown at point (a). It means it will have maximum potential energy at a as compared to b,c and d.

How is the temperature of a gas related to the kinetic energy of its particles
love history [14]

The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to the temperature. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy. Lighter gas molecules move faster than heavier molecules.

A step-up transformer is connected to a generator that is delivering 141 V and 110 A. The ratio of the turns on the secondary to
hammer [34]

Answer:

31302 Volts and 55/111 Amps (≈0.5)

Explanation:

Secondary voltage / 141 = 1110 / 5

Secondary voltage = (1110*141) / 5

Secondary voltage = 31302

Amperage = 110/ (31302/141) = 55/111
