Why is graphite used as a lubricant

Chemistry
2 answers:
Korvikt [17]3 years ago
6 0

There are weaker covalent bonds between these layers, hence they can easily slide over each other. Due to this, it is a lubricant, since the layers slide over each other so easily. ... Graphite is a mineral made of loosely bonded sheets of carbon atoms, giving it a slippery texture that makes it a very effective lubricant.

This is very urgent please hurry!!?!!??!

Answer:

The greatest acceleration when the unbalanced force is applied will be experienced in :

A) The box with a mass of 2 kg

Explanation:

According to second law of motion the external unbalanced force is directly proportional to rate of change of momentum.

F = (Final momentum - initial momentum)/time

or

Force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration

F = m x a

Here a= acceleration

m = mass of the object

If Force is constant then acceleration is inversely proportional to mass

a =\frac{F}{m}

A) The box with a mass of 2kg

F = 8 N

a =\frac{8}{2}

a = 4 m/s2

B) The box with the mass of 4kg

a =\frac{8}{4}

a = 2 m/s2

C) The box with a mass of 6kg

a =\frac{8}{6}

a = 1.33 m/s2

D) The box with a mass of 8kg

a =\frac{8}{8}

a = 1 m/s2
