The choices are confusing. Air, oil, and alcohol are fluids at any reasonable temperature. Dry cement is not.

Answer:

Dry cement

Explanation:

Matter can be in three different states: solids, liquids or gases. Liquids or gases are also called 'fluids'. The main difference between solids and fluids is:

- in solids, the molecules are bond together, and so they cannot move freely inside the substance, but they can only vibrate around their position. For this reason, solids have a well-defined shape and they occupy a well-defined volume.

- in fluids, the molecules are NOT bond together, and so they are free to move. For this reason, fluids do not have a well defined shape or volume, but they tend to occupy the volume of their conteiner.

Among the choices given, we see that air, oil and alcohol respect the conditions listed for fluids, so they are fluids; on the contrary, dry cement respects the conditions listed for solids, so it is a solid.

In a large centrifuge used for training pilots and astronauts, a small chamber is fixed at the end of a rigid arm that rotates i

RSB [31]

a) The length of the arm of the centrifuge is 10.9 m

b) The angular acceleration is $2.7 rad/s^2$

Explanation:

In a uniform circular motion, the centripetal acceleration is given by

$a_c=\omega^2 r$

where:

$\omega$ is the angular speed of the circular motion

r is the radius of the circle

For the centrifuge in this problem, we have:

$\omega=1.7 rad/s$ is the angular speed

The centripetal acceleration is 3.2 times the acceleration due to gravity ( $g=9.8 m/s^2$ ), so:

$a_c=3.2 g = 3.2(9.8)=31.4 m/s^2$

Therefore, we can re-arrange the previous equation to find r, the radius of the circle (which corresponds to the length of the arm of the centrifuge):

$r=\frac{a_c}{\omega^2}=\frac{31.4}{1.7^2}=10.9 m$

In the second part of the exercise, the centrifuge speeds up from an initial angular speed of 0 to a final angular speed of 1.7 rad/s. The total acceleration experienced at the final moment is

$a=4.4 g$

So, 4.4 times the acceleration due to gravity.

The total acceleration is the resultant of the centripetal acceleration ( $a_c$ ) and the tangential acceleration ( $a_t$ ):

$a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}$

We know that:

a = 4.4g

$a_c = 3.2 g$

So, we can find the tangential acceleration:

$a_t = \sqrt{a^2-a_c^2}=\sqrt{(4.4g)^2-(3.2g)^2}=29.6 m/s^2$

The angular acceleration is related to the tangential acceleration by

$\alpha = \frac{a_t}{r}$

where r = 10.9 m is the length of the centrifuge. Substituting,

$\alpha = \frac{29.6}{10.9}=2.7 rad/s^2$

What is the mass of a dog that weighs 382 N?(unit=kg)

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: mass = 38.93 kg

Explanation:

Data

mass = ?

Weight = 382 N

gravity = 9.81 m/s2

Formula

Weight = mass x gravity

mass = weight / gravity

mass = 382 / 9.81 substitution

mass = 38.93 kg result

Please answer in your own words and I will mark brainlist, Compare all matters from the view of passing light through them (name

prisoha [69]

Answer:

Light passes through the gas

Light passes through the pure water

Light passes through some solids

Explanation:

In gasses, there are many spaces between the molecules. These spaces allow light to pass through them without any interruption.

In pure water, there are some spaces between particles. these particles allow some light rays to pass theough, some to move through the common boundary and reflec5 some of them.

in solids, some allow light to pass through as they are transparent or translucent

The watt is a rate, similar to something like speed (miles per hour) and other time-interval related measurements.

Specifically, watt means Joules per Second. We are given that the electrical engine has 400 watts, meaning it can make 400 joules per second. If we need 300 kJ, or 3000 Joules, then we can write an equation to solve the time it would take to reach this amount of joules:

w * t = E

w: Watts

t: Time

E: Energy required

(Watts times time is equal to the energy required)

Input our values:

400 * t = 3000

(We need to write 3000 joules instead of 300 kilojoules, since Watts is in joules per second. It's important to make sure your units are consistent in your equations)

Divide both sides by 400 to isolate t:

$\frac{400t}{400}$ = $\frac{3000}{400}$

t = 7.5 (s)

It will take 7.5 seconds for the 400 W engine to produce 300 kJ of work.

If you have any questions on how I got to the answer, just ask!
