Answer:While workers use salt to melt ice they rely on sand for improved traction

Explanation:Sand increases friction and help prevent vehicle tires from slipping on silk roads making traveling easier, Salt can also help prevent new ice from forming on roads

microwave ovens rotate at a rate of about 6.3 rev/min. what is this in revolutions per second? (you do not need to enter any uni
levacccp [35]

The microwave ovens rotate at a rate of about 0.105 rev/s.

The microwave rotation is the number of revolutions in a unit of time. To change the unit for angular velocity, assume that the quantity is multiplied by the unit it has. Then change to the desired units. The angular velocity is denoted by ω and has a magnitude of 6.3 rev/min.

ω = 6.3 rev/min

\omega = 6.3 \times \frac{1 \: rev}{1 \: min}

  • 1 minute = 60 seconds
  • The revolution unit didn't change

\omega = 6.3 \times \frac{1 \: rev}{60 \: seconds}

\omega = \frac{6.3 \: rev}{60 \: seconds}

ω = 0.105 rev/s

If a t-shirt gun can fire t-shirts with an initial speed of 15 m/s, what is the maximum distance (along horizontal, flat ground)
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

h = 11.47 m

Explanation:

Initial speed pf the t-shirt gun is 15 m/s

We need to find the maximum distance covered by the t-shirt. It is based on the conservation of energy. The maximum distance covered is given by :

h=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}\\\\h=\dfrac{(15)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\h=11.47\ m

So, it will cover a distance of 11.47 m.

Stars form from clouds of gas and dust. As a protostar gravitationally contracts within its parent cloud, "conservation of angul
vredina [299]

Answer:

D) True. the protostar rotates more quickly.

Explanation:

If the system is isolated, the angular momentum must be retained.

Initial

        L₀ = I w₀

Final

       L_{f} = I_{f}  w_{f}

      L₀ = L_{f}

      I w₀ = I_{f}w_{f}

     w_{f}  = I /I_{f} w₀

In general, the radius of the cloud decreases significantly to form the star, the moment of inertia must decrease, so the angular velocity must increase

Let's examine the answers

A) False. The opposite happens

B) False. Speed ​​changes

C) False. For this there must be an external force, which does not exist

D) True. You agree with the above

The speed of light in air is 3.0 x 10^8 m/s. The speed of light in particular glass is 2.3 x 10^8 m/s. Use the information to de
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

33.61°

Explanation:

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

v is the velocity in the medium  (2.3 × 10⁸ m/s)

c is the speed of light in air = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

So,  

n = 3.0 × 10⁸ /  2.3 × 10⁸

n = 1.31

Using Snell's law as:

n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence  ( 25.0° )

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction  ( ? )

{n_r} is the refractive index of the refraction medium  (air, n=1)

{n_i} is the refractive index of the incidence medium (glass, n=1.31)

Hence,  

1.31\times {sin25.0^0}={1}\times{sin\theta_r}

Angle of refraction = sin^{-1}0.5536 = 33.61°
