What is the shape of pure carbon fullerenes?

1 answer:

6 0

A fullerene is an allotrope of carbon in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, tube, and many other shapes. Spherical fullerenes, also referred to as Buckminsterfullerenes or buckyballs, resemble the balls used in association football. Cylindrical fullerenes are also called carbon nanotubes (buckytubes).

Well, we usually assume that the resistance of a circuit component
is constant and doesn't change. But the truth is that for anything
that conducts current, its resistance always increases somewhat
when it warms up.

For things like light bulbs, electric toasters, space heaters, electric
stove burners, the heat coils in a blow-dryer ... anything that's
designed to be really hot when it's doing its job ... the resistance
of those things increases significantly when they come up to their
operating temperatures.

A car travels around a level, circular track that is 750m across. What coefficient of friction is required to ensure the car can

Crank

The coefficient of friction must be 0.196

Explanation:

For a car moving on a circular track, the frictional force provides the centripetal force needed to keep the car in circular motion. Therefore, we can write:

$\mu mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where the term on the left is the frictional force acting between the tires of the car and the road, while the term on the right is the centripetal force. The various terms are:

$\mu$ is the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road
