Answer:

Explanation:

An antifreeze is a substance which when added to a liquid reduces the freezing point of the liquid. Hence the solution can only freeze at a lower temperature compared to the solvent. Examples of antifreeze includes salt and propylene glycol. Antifreeze are used in low temperature environments to prevent water from freezing quicky. Hence the answer is A.

Answer:

Because the freezing point of a solution increases above that of the solvent as solute is added.

In an elastic collision, a 400-kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

v₁ = 3.5 m/s

v₂ = 6.4 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m₁ = mass of trailing car = 400 kg

m₂ = mass of leading car = 400 kg

u₁ = initial speed of trailing car = 6.4 m/s

u₂ = initial speed of leading car = 3.5 m/s

v₁ = final speed of trailing car = ?

v₂ = final speed of leading car = ?

The final speed of the leading car is given by the following formula:

$v_2=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_1-\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\\v_2=\frac{(2)(400\ kg)}{400\ kg+400\ kg}(6.4\ m/s)-\frac{400\ kg-400\ kg}{400\ kg + 400\ kg}(3.5\ m/s)$

The final speed of the leading car is given by the following formula:

$v_1=\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_1+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\\v_1=\frac{400\ kg-400\ kg}{400\ kg + 400\ kg}(6.4\ m/s)+\frac{(2)(400\ kg)}{400\ kg+400\ kg}(3.5\ m/s)$

What is the sequence of energy transformations from the moment the ball is dropped to the moment the board is bent to its maximu

Mila [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

Transformation of energy involves conversion of energy from one form to another for example our movement around involves the conversion of chemical energy stored in the food we eat to other forms of energy such as kinetic energy for the movement, electrical energy in the neurons for impulses and others

The ball posses gravitational potential energy since it is held at a displacement to the ground ( zero point) and when released, the gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy which leads to the fall of the ball until it is at zero displacement to the earth. The board likewise when bent to its maximum extent stored elastic potential energy as a result of the partial displacement of its constituent particle provided it is not stretch beyond its elastic limit which can lead to deformation of the board and the elastic potential energy lost.

Two particles execute simple harmonic motion of the same amplitude and frequency along close parallel lines. They pass each othe

deff fn [24]

Answer:

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that the displacement of the particle from the mean position is 1/5 times of its amplitude

so we have

$y = A sin\omega t$

$y = \frac{A}{5}$

so now we have

$\frac{A}{5} = A sin\omega t$

now we have

$\theta_1 = 11.53 degree$

so the phase other particle in opposite direction is given as

$\theta_2 = 180 - 11.53 = 168.46 degree$

so we have phase difference given as

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 168.46 - 11.53$

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree$

A pillow with mass of 0.3 kg sits on a bed with a coefficient of static friction of 0.6. What is the maximum force of static fri

lys-0071 [83]

The maximum force of static friction is the product of normal force (P) and the coefficient of static friction (c). In a flat surface, normal force is equal to the weight (W) of the body.

P = W = mass x acceleration due to gravity

P = (0.3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 2.94 kg m/s² = 2.94 N

Solving for the static friction force (F),
F = P x c

F = (2.94 N) x 0.6 = 1.794 N

Therefore, the maximum force of static friction is 1.794 N.

(i). A ball of mass 1.500 kg is attached to the end of a cord 1.50 m long. The ball moves in a horizontal circle. If the cord ca

Aleks04 [339]

(a) Let $v$ be the maximum linear speed with which the ball can move in a circle without breaking the cord. Its centripetal/radial acceleration has magnitude

$a_{\rm rad} = \dfrac{v^2}R$

where $R$ is the radius of the circle.

The tension in the cord is what makes the ball move in its plane. By Newton's second law, the maximum net force on it is

$F = (1.500\,\mathrm{kg}) a_{\rm rad}$

so that

$(1.500\,\mathrm{kg}) \dfrac{v^2}{1.50\,\rm m} = 64.0\,\mathrm N$

Solve for $v$ :

$v^2 = \dfrac{(64.0\,\mathrm N)(1.50\,\mathrm m)}{1.500\,\rm kg} \\\\ \implies \boxed{v = 8.00 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}$

(b) The net force equation in part (a) leads us to the relation

$F = \dfrac{mv^2}R \implies v = \sqrt{\dfrac{FR}m}$

so that $v$ is directly proportional to the square root of $R$ . As the radius $R$ increases, the maximum linear speed $v$ will also increase, so the cord is less likely to break if we keep up the same speed.
