What characteristic of carbon (c) makes it essential to living organisms

Physics
1 answer:
Natalka [10]3 years ago
4 0
Answer: C

Carbon has a unique property via which it bonds in many ways with itself and with other elements to form chains. Therefore, all the organic compounds such as proteins, fats and carbohydrates, essential for the survival of living organisms are made up of carbon chains.

Which of these boxes will not accelerate? A. B. C. D.
serg [7]

Answer: The correct answer is Image B.

Explanation: For an object to accelerate, there should be unbalanced forces present. An object will move in the direction of net force.

Balanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction. The net forces are 0.

Unbalanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are unequal in magnitude. The net force is non-zero.

For the given images:

Image A: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Image B: This box will not accelerate because the net force is zero as all the forces are balancing one another. Hence, the object will stay at rest.

Image C: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and  is acting in between the normal and applied force.

Image D: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Hence, the correct option is Image B.

what does it mean if the coefficient of friction is greater? for example,a coefficient of friction of 0.1 compared to 0.7
Sergeu [11.5K]
Well, 0.1 is actually less than 0.7, but I understand what you're asking.

The coefficient of friction describes the relationship between two surfaces
that are sliding by each other.  The higher the coefficient of friction is, the
'rougher' the meeting is, and the harder it is for one to slide over the other. 
A skate blade against ice has a very low coefficient of friction.  Sandpaper
against blue jeans has a high coefficient of friction.

A higher coefficient of friction means that when one thing is sliding over
the other one, friction robs more energy from the motion.  It's harder to
push one thing over the other one, and when you let go, the moving one
slows down and stops sooner.

Air resistance is actually an example of friction.  It prevents falling things
from falling as fast as they would if there were no air. The coefficient of
friction when something moves through air is pretty low.  If the same
object were trying to move through molasses or honey, the coefficient
of friction would be greater.

Friction robs energy, and turns it into heat.  So, especially in machinery with
moving parts, we want to make the coefficient of friction between the moving parts
as small as possible.  That's what the OIL in a car's engine is for.

Moving with a speed of v km/hour, a train travels the distance between the points A and B, which is 600 km, in t hours. Find the
NARA [144]
<h2>Formula which describes v in terms of t is v=\frac{600}{t}km/hr</h2>

Explanation:

A train travels the distance between the points A and B, which is 600 km

Distance between A and B = 600 km

Speed of train = v

Time taken by train = t

We know that

              Distance traveled = Speed of travel x Time taken

              600 = v x t

               v=\frac{600}{t}km/hr

Formula which describes v in terms of t is v=\frac{600}{t}km/hr

Speed depends on how far something travels and
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Speed depends on how far something is travelling and the time taken for the object to travel that distance

Explanation:

(In reference to the speed formula)  Speed=\frac{Distance(m)}{Time(m/s)}

Definition of speed:

Speed is the magnitude (unit) of the rate at which an object is moving.

(pls do correct me if I have any mistakes it makes a big difference to help each other out!)
