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.

Answer:

$q=10^{-6}(e^{-4000t}-4e^{-1000t}+3)C$

Explanation:

Given that $L=1H, R=5000\Omega, \ C=0.25\times10^{-6}F, \ \ E(t)=12V$ , we use Kirchhoff's 2nd Law to determine the sum of voltage drop as:

$E(t)=\sum{Voltage \ Drop}\\\\L\frac{d^2q}{dt^2}+R\frac{dq}{dt}+\frac{1}{C}q=E(t)\\\\\\\frac{d^2q}{dt^2}+5000\frac{dq}{dt}+\frac{1}{0.25\times10^{-6}}q=12\\\\\frac{d^2q}{dt^2}+5000\frac{dq}{dt}+4000000q=12\\\\m^2+5000m+4000000=0\\\\(m+4000)(m+1000)=0\\\\m=-4000 \ or \ m=-1000\\\\q_c=c_1e^{-4000t}+c_2e^{-1000t}$

#To find the particular solution:

$Q(t)=A,\ Q\prime(t)=0,Q\prime \prime(t)=0\\\\0+0+4000000A=12\\\\A=3\times10^{-6}\\\\Q(t)=3\times10^{-6},\\\\q=q_c+Q(t)\\\\q=c_1e^{-4000t}+c_2e^{-1000t}+3\times10^{-6}\\\\q\prime=-4000c_1e^{-4000t}-1000c_2e^{-1000t}\\q\prime(0)=0\\\\-4000c_1-1000c_2=0\\c_1+c_2+3\times10^{-6}=0\\\\#solving \ simultaneously\\\\c_1=10^{-6},c_2=-4\times10^{-6}\\\\q=10^{-6}e^{-4000t}-4\times10^{-6}e^{-1000t}+3\times10^{-6}\\\\q=10^{-6}(e^{-4000t}-4e^{-1000t}+3)C$

Hence the charge at any time, t is $q=10^{-6}(e^{-4000t}-4e^{-1000t}+3)C$

A 40 kg person sits on top of a 400 kg rock. What is the person’s weight? 390 N

algol13

The weight of the person is given by:

W = mg

W = weight, m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration

Given values:

m = 40kg, g = 9.81m/s²

Plug in and solve for W:

W = 40(9.81)

W = 390N

To understand the nature of electric fields and how to draw field lines. Electric field lines are a tool used to visualize elect

Brrunno [24]

Explanation:

The electric field is defined as the change in the properties of space caused by the existence of a positively (+) or negatively (-) charged particle. The electric field can be represented by infinitely many lines from a particle, and those lines never intersect each other. Depending on the type of charge we can see different cases:

Let's say we have a positive charge alone (image 1). The field lines are drawn from the centre of the particle outwards to infinity (in other words, they disappear from the edge of the picture). Meaning the direction of the electric field points outwards the particle.

For a negative charge alone (image 2), the lines come from infinity to the centre, and point towards the particle (i.e. lines appear from the edge of the picture).

Let's see what happens if we have two charges together:

Two positive charges (image 3): Since the charges are of the same type (positive), the particles repel each other. Then the field lines will avoid each other so they do not join. The charge is positive, so lines point outwards.
Two negative charges (image 4): Again, the charges are both negative, so they repel. But they are negative, so the field points inwards.
Negative and positive charges (image 5): They are different charges, so the force between them is attractive. This causes the field lines from both to join. They go out of the positive and come into the negative particle.

Image 6:

The lines are passing through infinite points of the space. If we choose a certain point and measure the electric field, we can see to which direction the electric field points. This is the direction of the electric field vector. It does not matter which point we choose; the electric field vector touches the field line only at this point, which means it is tangent to the field line.

The Slowing Earth The Earth's rate of rotation is constantly decreasing, causing the day to increase in duration. In the year 20

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The average angular acceleration of the Earth is; α = 6.152 X 10⁻²⁰ rad/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

The period of 365 revolutions of Earth in 2006, T₁ = 365 days, 0.840 sec

Converting to seconds, we have;

T₁ = (365 × 24 × 60 × 60) + 0.84

T₁ = (3.1536 x 10⁷) + 0.840

T₁ = 31536000.84 s

Now, the period of 365 rotation of Earth in 2006 is; T₀ = 365 days

Converting to seconds, we have;

T₀ = 31536000 s

Hence, time period of one rotation in the year 2006 is;

Tₐ = 31536000.84/365

Tₐ = 86400.0023 s

The time period of rotation is given by the formula;

Tₐ = 2π/ωₐ

Making ωₐ the subject;

ωₐ = 2π/Tₐ

Plugging in the relevant values;

ωₐ = 2π/ 365.046306

ωₐ = 7.272205023 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

Therefore, the time period of one rotation in the year 1906 is;

Tₓ = 31536000/365

Tₓ = 86400 s

Time period of rotation,

Tₓ = 2π /ωₓ

ωₓ = 2π / T

Plugging in the relevant values;

ωₓ = 2π/86400

ωₓ = 7.272205217 x 10⁻⁵ rad/s

The average angular acceleration is given by;

α = (ωₓ - ωₐ) / T₁

α = ((7.272205217 × 10⁻⁵) - (7.272205023 × 10⁻⁵)) / 31536000.84

α = 6.152 X 10⁻²⁰ rad/s²

Thus, the average angular acceleration of the Earth is; α = 6.152 X 10⁻²⁰ rad/s²
