Abdou was explaining to a classmate that graphite is a good lubricant

balu736 [363]

The fact that the layers of graphite are held together by only weak Van der Walls forces implies that they can slide over each other.

<h3>Why is graphite a solid lubricant?</h3>

We know that graphite is composed of layers. These hexagonal layers are held together by weak Van Der Walls forces and as such are able to slide over each other. The carbon atom in each layer are held together by strong covalent bonds.

The fact that the layers of graphite are held together by only weak Van der Walls forces implies that they can slide over each other and as such make the graphite fluid.

Thus, the image that shows these layers of graphite is attached to this an answer

Two canoeists in identical canoes exert the same effort paddling and hence maintain the same speed relative to the water. One pa

Serga [27]

Answer:

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

Explanation:

$v_r$ = Speed of river

$v_c$ = Speed of canoe

$v_r+v_c=2.8\ m/s$

$v_r-v_c=-1.9\ m/s$

Adding the equations we get

$2v_r=0.9\\\Rightarrow v_r=\frac{0.9}{2}\\\Rightarrow v_r=0.45\ m/s$

$0.42+v_c=2.8\ m/s\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.8-0.45\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.65\ m/s$

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

0.0884 moles of a diatomic gas

Sloan [31]

Answer:

W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)

Explanation:

First, we find the change in internal energy of the diatomic gas by using the following formula:

$\Delta\ U = nC_{v}\Delta\ T$

where,

ΔU = Change in internal energy of gas = ?

n = no. of moles of gas = 0.0884 mole

Cv = Molar Specific Heat at constant volume = 5R/2 (for diatomic gases)

Cv = 5(8.314 J/mol.K)/2 = 20.785 J/mol.K

ΔT = Rise in Temperature = 18.8 K

Therefore,

$\Delta\ U = (0.0884\ moles)(20.785\ J/mol.K)(18.8\ K)\\\Delta\ U = 34.54\ J$

Now, we can apply First Law of Thermodynamics as follows:

$\Delta\ Q = \Delta\ U + W$

where,

ΔQ = Heat flow = - 83.7 J (negative sign due to outflow)

W = Work done = ?

Therefore,

$-83.7\ J = 34.54\ J + W\\W = -83.7\ J - 34.54\ J\\$

<u>W = - 118.24 J (negative sign shows that work is done on piston)</u>

An archer fires an arrow at a castle 230 m away. The arrow is in flight for 6 seconds, then hits the wall of the castle and stic

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

(a). The initial speed of the arrow is 49.96 m/s.

(b). The angle is 39.90°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Horizontal distance = 230 m

Time t = 6 sec

Vertical distance = 16 m

We need to calculate the horizontal component

Using formula of horizontal component

$R =u\cos\theta t$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{230}{6} = u\cos\theta$

$u\cos\theta=38.33$ .....(I)

We need to calculate the height

Using vertical component

$H=u\sin\theta t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value in the equation

$16 =u\sin\theta\times6-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times6^2$

$u\sin\theta=\dfrac{16+9.8\times18}{6}$

$u\sin\theta=32.06$ .....(II)

Dividing equation (II) and (I)

$\dfrac{u\sin\theta}{u\cos\theta}=\dfrac{32.06}{38.33}$

$\tan\theta=0.8364$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}0.8364$

$\theta=39.90^{\circ}$

(a). We need to calculate the initial speed

Using equation (I)

$u\cos\theta\times t=38.33$

Put the value into the formula

$u =\dfrac{230}{6\times\cos39.90}$

$u=49.96\ m/s$

(b). We have already calculate the angle.

Hence, (a). The initial speed of the arrow is 49.96 m/s.

(b). The angle is 39.90°.
