Why is a flask is wider on the bottom than on the top? allows for a more precise measurement allows for better thermal equilibri

um prevents spillage to hold a thermometer

Genrish500 [490]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

allows for better thermal equilibrium

Explanation:

Due to the cone shape, most of the liquid will be closer to the bottom than the top.  The large surface area of the bottom allows for faster heating.

Parallel to the handle, what is the force of friction acting on the suitcase?
mrs_skeptik [129]
 <span>Lets call F the friction force which will act horizontally backwards. 

As you are travelling at a constant velosity horizontally there is no overall resultant force in this direction. 

ie. the force you pull with will be equal to the friction force resisting you. (you will initially have to have pulled with a greater force than the friction to get the suitcase moving) 

the value of your force pulling is 60 cos26.9 (horizontally) - you should have learnt about resolving forces. 

this must be equal to F 

so 

F=60cos26.9 
F=53.5N

hope this helps you

A 1000-kg car is moving at 30 m/s around a horizontal unbanked curve whose diameter is 0.20 km. What is the magnitude of the fri
omeli [17]

Answer:

4500 N

Explanation:

When a body is moving in a circular motion it will feel an acceleration directed towards the center of the circle, this acceleration is:

a = v^2/r

where v is the velocity of the body and r is the radius of the circumference:

Therefore, a body with mass m, will feel a force f:

f = m v^2/r

Therefore we need another force to keep the body(car) from sliding, this will be given by friction, remember that friction force is given a the normal times a constant of friction mu, that is:

fs = μN = μmg

The car will not slide if     f = fs,   i.e.

fs = μmg =  m v^2/r

That is, the magnitude of the friction force must be (at least) equal to the force due to the centripetal acceleration

fs = (1000 kg)  * (30m/s)^2 / (200 m) = 4500 N

An alpha particle (α), which is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, is momentarily at rest in a region of space occupied by an elect
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Speed of the alpha particle is v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec      

Explanation:

We have given charge on alpha particle q=3.2\times 10^{-19}C

Mass of the alpha particle m=6.68\times 10^{-27}kg

Potential difference V=-3.45\times 10^{-3}volt

We have to find the speed of the alpha particle

From energy conservation we know that

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=qV

\frac{1}{2}\times 6.68\times 10^{-27}\times v^2=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 3.45\times 10^{-3}

v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec

What is the unique geological feature found on Mercury surface?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The surface of Mercury has landforms that indicate its crust may have contracted. They are long, sinuous cliffs called lobate scarps. These scarps appear to be the surface expression of thrust faults, where the crust is broken along an inclined plane and pushed upward.

Explanation:

I hope this helps a little bit.
