Which of the following is true of iron? a. It has the highest electrical conductivity of any metal. b. It can exist in many allo

melamori03 [73]

Answer: B

It can exist in many alloys, usually with a carbon base

Explanation:

Iron forms many alloys with a carbon base. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. There are many different types of steel needed for different applications. Various metals are added to tune the steel to the required properties. For instance, stainless steel contains 10-30% chromium in addition to iron and a low percentage of carbon. Steel remains an extremely versatile alloy used for many different purposes.

A circus tightrope walker weighing 800 N is standing in the middle of a 15 meter long cable stretched between two posts. The cab

Lorico [155]

Answer:

T = 10010 N

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the translational equilibrium relation, let's set a reference frame

X axis

Fₓ-Fₓ = 0

Fₓ = Fₓ

whereby the horizontal components of the tension in the cable cancel

Y Axis

$F_{y} + F_{y} - W =0$

2 $F_{y}$ = W

let's use trigonometry to find the angles

tan θ = y / x

θ = tan⁻¹ (0.30 / 0.50 L)

θ = tan⁻¹ (0.30 / 0.50 15)

θ = 2.29º

the components of stress are

F_{y} = T sin θ

we substitute

2 T sin θ = W

T = W / 2sin θ

T = $\frac{ 800}{ 2sin 2.29}$

T = 10010 N

A 290 gg bird flying along at 6.2 m/sm/s sees a 9.0 gg insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 34 m/sm/s (as measured

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The bird's speed immediately after swallowing is 4.98 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of bird = 290 g

Speed = 6.2 m/s

Mass of sees = 9.0 g

Speed = 34 m/s

We need to calculate the bird's speed immediately after swallowing

Using conservation of momentum

$m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{3}$

Put the value into the formula

$0.290\times6.2+0.009\times(-34)=(0.290+0.009)\times v_{3}$

$v_{3}=\dfrac{0.290\times6.2-0.009\times34}{(0.290+0.009)}$

$v_{3}=4.98\ m/s$

Hence, The bird's speed immediately after swallowing is 4.98 m/s.

Can any ideal gas power cycle have a thermal efficiency greater than 55 percent when using thermal energy reservoirs at 627∘C at

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Since the maximum thermal efficiency is higher than 55 percent, there can be a power cycle with these reservoir temperature with an efficiency higher than 55 percent.

Explanation:

The maximum thermal efficiency is determined from the given temperature

nth Carnot = 1- TL/TH

Where TL= 17+273= 290k

TH= 627*273= 900K.

nth Carnot = 1- 290/900 = 0.68

0.68*100 = 68 percent
