Define couple and give 2 examples

Physics
2 answers:
zvonat [6]3 years ago

A couple consists of two parallel forces that are equal in magnitude, opposite in sense and do not share a line of action. ... For example, the forces that two hands apply to turn a steering wheel are often (or should be) a couple. Each hand grips the wheel at points on opposite sides of the shaft.

Answer:

Two equal and opposite parallel forces not acting along the same line, form a couple. A couple is always needed to produce the rotation.

For example, turning a key in a lock and turning a steering wheel.

When a wire is made thicker its resistance what?
NeTakaya
Making a wire thicker has the same effect as making a road wider. It makes it easier for the electron traffic to flow. The resistance decreases, and the current (traffic) increases.

Which property of table salt is also a property of other ionic compounds
Jet001 [13]

s alluded to in the other answers, salt refers to any ionic compound that doesn't have “oxides” in it. Table salt is sodium chloride. Going down the periodic table, the first column contains lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. This group (alkali metals) of atoms (and their corresponding positive ions) gets larger in the order shown above. Therefore, their ionic bonds with chloride (or any nonmetal) gets smaller. The trend of their corresponding compounds is a decreasing hardness, decreasing melting point, decreasing boiling point, and decreasing thermal stability. These are the major periodic trends of these corresponding compounds. Other metal ions generally have higher positive charges on them. This makes the ionic bonds considerably larger and you can probably surmise most of their corresponding properties listed above. However, the details of their lattice structures may cause the overall trend to vary.

A 235.0 g metal block absorbs 2.44 × 103 J of heat to raise its temperature by 35 K. What is the specific heat of the metal? Sho
andrew-mc [135]
When an object absorbs an amount of energy equal to Q, its temperature raises by \Delta T following the formula
Q=m C_s \Delta T
where m is the mass of the object and C_s is the specific heat capacity of the material.

In our problem, we have Q=2.44 \cdot 10^3 J, m=235.0 g and \Delta T=35 K, so we can re-arrange the formula and substitute the numbers to find the specific heat capacity of the metal:
C_s =  \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}= \frac{2.44 \cdot 10^3 J}{(235.0 g)(35 K)}=0.297 J g^{-1} K^{-1}
