Water has a high specific heat capacity. Oil has a smaller heat capacity.

arsen [322]3 years ago

Answer:

Because water has a high specific heat, each little bit of water flowing past can give lots of thermal energy to the ice cube. Oil has a smaller specific heat, and so more oil has to flow past to give the same amount of heat energy to the ice cube. ... Colder oil will melt ice less rapidly than warmer oil or water

A proton and an alpha particle are momentarily at rest at adistance r from each other. They then begin to move apart.Find the sp

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The unknown quantities are:

E and F

The final velocity of the proton is:

√(8/3) k e^2/(m*r)

Explanation:

Hello!

We can solve this problem using conservation of energy and momentum.

Since both particles are at rest at the beginning, the initial energy and momentum are:

Ei = k (q1q2)/r

pi = 0

where k is the coulomb constant (= 8.987×10⁹ N·m²/C²)

and q1 = e and q2 = 2e

When the distance between the particles doubles, the energy and momentum are:

Ef = k (q1q2)/2r + (1/2)m1v1^2 + (1/2)m2v2^2

pf = m1v1 + m2v2

with m1 = m, m2 = 4m, v1=vf_p, v2 = vf_alpha

The conservation momentum states that:

pi = pf

Therefore:

m1v1 + m2v2 = 0

That is:

v2 = (1/4) v1

The conservation of energy states that:

Ei = Ef

Therefore:

k (q1q2)/r = k (q1q2)/2r + (1/2)m1v1^2 + (1/2)m2v2^2

Replacing

m1 = m, m2 = 4m, q1 = e, q2 = 2e

and v2 = (1/4)v1

We get:

(1/2)mv1^2 = k e^2/r + (1/2)4m(v1/4)^2 = k e^2/r + (1/8)mv1^2

(3/8) mv1^2 = k e^2/r

v1^2 = (8/3) k e^2/(m*r)

The center of gravity of a loaded truck depends on how the truck is packed. If it is 4.0 m high and 2.4 m wide, and its CG is 2.

Vitek1552 [10]

The slope of the road can be given as the ratio of the change in vertical

distance per unit change in horizontal distance.

The maximum steepness of the slope where the truck can be parked without tipping over is approximately 54.55 %.

Reasons:

Width of the truck = 2.4 meters

Height of the truck = 4.0 meters

Height of the center of gravity = 2.2 meters

Required:

The allowable steepness of the slope the truck can be parked without tipping over.

Solution:

Let, C represent the Center of Gravity, CG

At the tipping point, the angle of elevation of the slope = θ

Where;

$tan\left(\theta \right) = \dfrac{\overline{AM}}{\overline{CM}}$

The steepness of the slope is therefore;

$\mathrm{The \ steepness \ of \ the \ slope}= \dfrac{\overline{AM}}{\overline{CM}} \times 100$

Where;

$\overline{AM}$ = Half the width of the truck = $\dfrac{2.4 \, m}{2}$ = 1.2 m

$\overline{CM}$ = The elevation of the center of gravity above the ground = 2.2 m

$\mathrm{The \ steepness \ of \ the \ slope}= \dfrac{1.2}{2.2} \times 100 \approx 54.55\%$

$tan\left(\theta \right) = \mathbf{\dfrac{2.2}{1.2}} = \dfrac{11}{6}$

$Elevation \ of \ the \ road \ \theta = arctan\left( \dfrac{6}{11} \right) \approx 28.6 ^{\circ}$

The maximum steepness of the slope where the truck can be parked is 54.55 %.

What happens to the gravitational attraction between 2 objects

amm1812

Answer:

It decreases.

Explanation:

between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases

Consider a father pushing a child on a playground merry-go-round. The system has a moment of inertia of 84.4 kg.m^2. The father

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

the initial angular velocity $\omega_o = 0$

angular acceleration $\alpha$ = 4.44 rad/s²

Using the formula:

$\omega = \omega_o+ \alpha t$

Making t the subject of the formula:

$t= \dfrac{\omega- \omega_o}{ \alpha }$

where;

$\omega = 1.53 \ rad/s^2$

∴

$t= \dfrac{1.53-0}{4.44 }$

t = 0.345 s

Using the formula:

$\omega ^2 = \omega _o^2 + 2 \alpha \theta$

here;

$\theta$ = angular displacement

∴

$\theta = \dfrac{\omega^2 - \omega_o^2}{2 \alpha }$

$\theta = \dfrac{(1.53)^2 -0^2}{2 (4.44) }$

$\theta =0.264 \ rad$

Recall that:

2π rad = 1 revolution

Then;

0.264 rad = (x) revolution

$x = \dfrac{0.264 \times 1}{2 \pi}$

x = 0.042 revolutions

Here; force = 270 N

radius = 1.20 m

The torque = F * r

$\tau = 270 \times 1.20 \\ \\ \tau = 324 \ Nm$

However;

From the moment of inertia;

$Torque( \tau) = I \alpha \\ \\ Since( I \alpha) = 324 \ Nm. \\ \\ Then; \\ \\ \alpha= \dfrac{324}{I}$

given that;

I = 84.4 kg.m²

$\alpha= \dfrac{324}{84.4} \\ \\ \alpha=3.84 \ rad/s^2$

For re-tardation; $\alpha=-3.84 \ rad/s^2$

Using the equation

$t= \dfrac{\omega- \omega_o}{ \alpha }$

$t= \dfrac{0-1.53}{ -3.84 }$

$t= \dfrac{1.53}{ 3.84 }$

t = 0.398s

The required time it takes= 0.398s

your friend sit in a sked in the snow. if you apply a force of 120 N to them, they have an acceleration of 1.3 m/s2. what is the

levacccp [35]

Need to know the equation for force
F=MA
F is force
M is mass- we need to know the mass
A is acceleration
use "x" for mass
120 N= 1.3x
divide 1.3 in both side
kg unit for mass
X=92.31 kg
or
mass = 92.31 kg
Hope this helps
